The University Of Wisconsin has
recently been commended as the
leading American exponent of educa-
ton along practical and useful lines,
especially in connection with the
antttuberculosis movement. When
the American people are confronted
with the fact that $500 people die
annually in Wisconsin fIam tubercul-
osis and that 10000 are innocent sui
ferers from the disease, the foes OF
tuberculosis argue nothing can be
more important in the educational
system than spreading the informa-
ton that tuberculosis is an unneces-
sary cause of poverty, suffering and
death.
When the full truth that tuberculo-
sis is communicable, preventable and
durable is realized, the white plague
will be wiped of the earth, they say.

ing the appropriation not available for
compensation of any persons ineapac-
