10 CHECK Ravaaes oil TubercuIosi.

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.
