TO Check Ravases Of tuberculosis.

TO Check Ravages OF TUBERCULOSIS.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
declares that there are two ways of
checking the ravages of tuberculosis
among school children. The first way
Is to instruct every school child about
the dangers Of the disease and to
show them how they themselves may
prevent tuberculosis in their homes.
The second method is to establish
open air schools for all children who
have tuberculosis or who are suspect
ed cases, segregating them from the
healthy children.

Financial Loss THROUGH tuberculosis.

Financial Loss Through tuberculosis.
Based on the census of 1900, it is
estimated by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis that nearly 100000 children
now in school will die of tuberculosis
before they are IS years of age, or
that about 6,4O0 die annually from
this disease. Estimating that on an
average each child who dies of tuber-
culosis has had six years of schooling,
the aggregate loss to the country in
wasted education each year amounts
to $1,152,000 According to investiga-
tions made in New York, Boston and
Stockholm, the percentage of children
who are afflicted with tuberculosis is
much larger than the death rate would
