WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS
EducationaLCa Began Jour-
new Wednesday

Owing 20 the delay in furnishing the
necessary guard for the electric motor
In the Delaware Tuberculosis Commits
sion's educational car, it's Statewide trip
was postponed until Wednesday.
Each school in the State has arranged
to have an exhibit and viii take special
interest in the car when in the respective
towns published in the itinerary.
As there are only three OF these cars in
the United States il is considered q very
progressive move to have one in Della
ware and one that contains such general
exhibit. The work Of arranging the car
has been in charge of Miss Elizabeth Sum.
ner, the head Of the tuberculosis dispen-
sary work in this county and great credit
ia due her for the interesting arrange.
ment of what could easily be monot.
otonous exhibit. At a recent meeting OF
the commission at Georgetown, enthusi-
astic reports we're made of preparation
for the car and much good will doubtless
be accomplished.
The car has been leased for one year,
the trackage having been paid for that
period. II is proposed to have the car at
Rehoboth at the height of the summer
season, for two weeks beginning August /.
The rural schools in Kent and Sussex
counties have expressed wish TO have
the exhibit for one week at each school
and an effort will be made to do this fol.
lowing the canning season, which will
mean that the car will be sent down the
State again in the fall.
Up to the present the itinerary of the
cars travels down the State covers only
until August IL. Later another schedule
viii be made up.
Clubs Want Exhibit
At Milford the Century Club has ar
ranged to remove the exhibit from she |
car to the New Century Club Hall, and
similar arrangements will be made when |
the car reaches Lewes. In that town the
exhibit will be placed in the ball Of the
Zuaendael Club.
The tuberculosis Commission prepared
a letter, copies OF which have been sent
to all physicians, clergymen and women's
clubs down the State. The letter reads:
Our State dispensary exhibit car will
arrive ..on...........".t will re-
main for............days on the railroad sid
ing and demonstration will be in charge.
All will be welcome. May we bespeak
POUR kind cooperation in making its stay
/ success? II no effort is made it will
rot be as valuable visit as il ought 70 be
md We depend on you 10 help it forward
my way that seems good to you aud will
De grateful TO you for help. We especi.
Illy desire that the city officials, the ply
icians, the ladies and the school children
7isit the car and exercises may be planned
Turing its stay. Dr.. Albert Robin has q
antsrn aud so fine views which may be
lsed on request. Over 1900 people vis-
ted this exhibit in Wilmington, and it is
ealIy one Of the most complete aud novel
n the United States.
Yours truly,
Delaware tuberculosis Commission.
