Children Being Taught the Nature and
Methods of Prevention of
tuberculosis.

Definite instruction concerning the
nature and methods of prevention Of
tuberculosis Is being given to less
than six per cent. Of the public school
children of the United States, accord
ing to bulletin of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. Recent investigation
has shown that in only nine cities,
Washington, Dallas, Tex, Richmond,
Va, Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Detroit,
Mich, Maiden, Mass, Salem, Mass,
Saginaw, Mich, and Knoxville, Tenn,
are special text books being used or
lectures being given about tuberculo-
sis. In three states and one territory,
Michigan, Massachusetts, North Caro-
lima and Porto Rico, laws have been
passed requiring that instruction
about the nature and methods of pre-
vention of tuberculosis be given in all
public schools. In Tennessee the
state department of education has re-
quested that such instruction be given
and has issued circulars for this pur-
pose. In New Jersey and West Vir-
ginia wall cards giving instruction
are hung in every schoolroom and the
attention of all children is called to
them

where prosperity 10 Away. ! Habit.

Where Prosperity 10 Always a Habit.
The current number of Munsey's
magazine contains a symposium on
the business outlook for the year 1910
an article being written by the gov
ernor Of each state or senator OF
each state. Every state in the union
has contributed to the symposium.
The article for Iowa is from the pen
of Governor Carroll and is as follows:
Prosperity is more than a condi-
ton in Iowa. 1t is habit No state
is blessed with more abundant agri-
cultural resources. There is scarcely
an acre of our broad prairies that
cannot be titled, and nowhere is
there more equal distribution of the
people of a state over it's area, or OF
its wealth among its people. Prosper
ity is as much assured to the people
of Iowa as are the seasons. The
problem which confronts our state is
therefore to make the most of this
prosperous opportunity. The devel-
opment of our rural districts by the
improvement of our roads, the intro
duction of interurban cars, the bet
terment of our schools, the upbuilding
of our cities and towns by perma-
nent improvements, and the grasping
by intelligent and enthusiastic ini-
tiative of the opportunities which lie
in our midst-these are the mile
stones along the Path of Prosperity
unon which Iowa has travelled for
many years."
