SHOWS EXCELLENT CONDITION.
Report of New York Life Insurance
Company Made Public.

While other big business is halting
and wondering what the Sherman law
will do to II. life insurance-which had
its time OF trial hrst-is forging ahead.
Not 10 new records as yet in the
amount Of new business done. because
in this respect 1t is limited by the laws
enacted six years ago. The limit has
recently been made elastic, depending
upon the economy with which business
Is transacted. and the New York Life
has been crowding the limit for sew
eral years. In November and Decem-
Der, 1911, the company was obliged
to say to many applicants for insur-
ance that their requests could not be
granted until 1912. This year IL will be
allowed to write nearly fifty millions
more than any other mutual company.
The report of the insurance depart
ment of the State, after an eXamina-
tion occupying about seven months,
shows that a large company can be
effectively and economically managed.
The examiners commended its work
and its methods and the superintend-
ent added his own personal approval.
The New York Life is now the larG-
est life company in the world. Its
annual income is over 115 million dol
lars, accumulated funds over 6S4 mil
lions (market values), and assurances in
force over 2.l92 millions.

TUBERCULAR SCHOOL OPENS.
First of 1t. Kind Is IpauEurated in
Detroit, Mich.


Detroit Mich, has just provided for the
establishment Of a school for tubercular
children. run in connection with q hos
pitaI, according TO an official report re-
ceived by the Bureau OF Education yes
terday. So far as IS known to the bu-
resu's experts. this is the first school of
the kind TO be established in the United
States.
1T Is true that open-sir schools for
anemic children and pupils with tend
ency 10 consumption are rapidly ipcreas-
ing" said William r. Hood, OF the Edu-
cation Bureaus division of school ad-
minIstration yesterday. ''Ipaugurated in
Providence, r. l.. on February l, 1905.
the open-air school idea has spread to all
parts OF the country, till in 1911 not less
than twenty-five cities reported open-air
schools.
But these open-air schools are always
connected strictly with the regular school
system. Detroit is the first city in Amer
lea, so far as my knowledge goes. Of
any municipality TO establish a school
for children actually suffering from
tuberculosis, i'm direct connection with a
hospital so that the children can be
treated and taught at the same time. In
this respect, / think II is safe to say
that the Detroit school for tubercular
children is unique"
The founding of the Detroit Hospital
school for tubercular children is the re-
suit of efforts inaugurated by the Detroit
Society for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis.
