made to the ways and means COMMITTEES
of the Board of Education yesterday az

d.. William C. Gwynn, and w. s. VI
ford. and the burden of their argument
was that the District should have sep
arate schools for tubercular pupils and
educate them under conditions that
would at once enable them to get rid OF
in daily contact with uninfected chill
dren.
ut is far better that tubercular chill
dren 60 uneducated than have them
minsle in the schools with the healthy
little ones. was the ~ eonciuoins s'a'e-
So ably did the association present Its
case that there is every indication that

bercular children, such as are now be-
ing conducted in several large cities In

of Washington school children. Mr. Uf-

ed nurses to look after those who might

followed this plan and found II very de-
sirable.
Representatives Of the National LII
