Prevention Of Tuberculosis centred sociology
cal section. in which were discussed questions af-
fecting tuberculosis in schools and factories. The
sentiment, as expressed by the delegates. educators

nous that crowded rooms. bad air and poor light
were the prime causes OF the spread OF the
and that radical steps should be taken to over
come them II COnteuded that only the
most modern buildings could the air and light be
said to be approximately satisfactory.
Dr. John II. LOwman, of Cleveland, said that the
present system Of school inspection far from

said, was the only way TO protect healthy pupils

He strongly urged a system whereby such adult
parents. by house to house inspection would be
discovered and their children specialized and put

and the rooms frequently cleaned.
Samuel Gompers, OF the American Federation of
Labor, maintained that by causing a reduction in
the hours OF labor and the securing of higher
wages. which made II possible TO provide better
sustenance, the federation had done much good
toward assisting IN the work of stamping out the
disease.

deputy chamberlain Is that he has been the exect!-
tive head OF the Office for years and that his
record as such has been above reproach. He has
had or two opportunities TO go with trust com
