Education Needed.


The National association declares
that consumption will never be wiped
out until the prevalent Ignorance con-
corning this disease is overcome. To
combat success sfully this lack OF
knowledge, immense amounts of liter
allure of various sorts are being dis
tributed constantly. Within a years
time thousands of tons Of leaflets, az.
gregating over one hundred million
pages, are distributed by the various
EXAMINATIONS engaged in the warfare
against tuberculosis. But more than
all Of these individual agencies, the
national association believes that the
press is the greatest means of edu-
eating the masses concerning this dis
ease. If the present rate of interest
on the part Of the newspaper world
continues. it is estimated that within
a few years every man, woman and
child in the United States will have
learned the simple doctrine of tuber-
cUlos;s.

FIFTY THOUSAND

UNIQUE STATEMENT OF SOCIETY
For STUDY AND PREVENTION
OF TUBERCULOSIS.
Among the Numerous Agencies Which

the Press Leads.

NEW YORK, April 10.-Consump-
ton is receiving nearly one-half mile
of publicity a week, is the unique
statement which the National aSsocia-
ton for the study and prevention OF
tuberculosis issues today. ACCORDING
to some recent statistics compiled by
that body, the various newspapers OF
the United States printed articles con-
GEM, rubercu4Osis, which, when
mea. amounted to over 50'00O
column inches of space in two weeks.
The investigation which the National
association conducted included all OF
the daily and weekly newspapers
throughout the United States as well
as some of the larger journals ana
MAGAZINES. In the two weeks Wnlch
were taken as a standard. it was
found that 51,557 column inches OF
space was devoted to the sumject OF
tuberculosis. If all of this matter
were gathered together at one time, IL
would make a newspaper the ordinary
size of 800 pages printed solid With
out any advertisements, all on the
subject of tuberculosis. If it were ar
ranged in one long chain, it would
make a single column of matter four
fifths of mile long and two and one

Press Leads Fight.


Among the numerous agencies
which are today joining in the fight
against tuberculosis, such as the
school church and labor unions, the
press is in the foremost rank. Never
before in the history Of American
Journalism has the press taken such
lively and continued interest in sub
ject pertaining to human health. When
it is considered that tuberculosis
alone kills nearly 100000 people in the
United States every year, and that
there are at the present time at least
600 900 cases of this disease in the
various parts of the United States,
sufficient warrant for the activity of the
press is given.
The following states are leading at
the present time in the amount OF
publicity being given to tuberculosis;
New York, Pennsylvania Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio
Missouri, Texas and Illinois. However
there is not a state in the union In
which the press is not devoting some
space to the subject Of tuberculosis.
