REGISTRATION OF TUBERCULOSIS
CASES INADEQUATE.
Not more than 1900 out Of 100000
recorded.

Registration and reporting of living
cases of tuberculosis, in a manner sim
liar to the reporting of other infectious
diseases, is now required by state law
or regulation of boards of health in
80 states and territories out of So.
Five years ago only IA states had leg
isIation on this subject. The increase
is looked upon as a sign of marked
progress in the anti-tubereulosis move
ment by The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis, which issues a bulletin on this
subject to-day.
Based on figures obtained from cases
of tuberculosis reported in Cleveland,
New York, and other cities where thor
ough registration is employed, it is estiE
mated that for every death from con-
sumption in the United States, of which
there are on an average 100000 an
hually, there are constantly more than
five living cases, making at least l,OOO,-
900 in all. Of this million cases, it is
estimated that the health authorities
have records of not more than 100000
to 10000, or one in every eight or
ten, and that, for the great majority of
cases recorded, no hospital, home, or
dispensary care is provided. Practically
nothing can be done to control the
spread of tuberculosis in the unreported
cases.
Of the 80 states where reporting of
cases is required, adequate or reason
ably complete records are kept in not
more than eight. Twenty states and
territories have no laws or regulations
requiring the reporting of tuberculosis
and in most of these states consumption
is not classified officially by the health
authorities as a communicable, infee-
tious disease. These states are, Arizona,
Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Ohio, Philippine Islands, South Dakota,
and Wyoming. Special laws requiring
reporting and registration of tubeEcu-
losis have been passed in Colorado,
Connecticut, District of Columbia, Kan
sas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mis-
sissippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.
In twenty other states, tuberculosis is
included in the Lists of infectious dis
eases that must be reported by physi-
clans. .N
In concluding its bulletin, The Ma
tional Association says: Reporting Of
living cases of tuberculosis to the local
and state health authorities is the first
requisite in any adequate campaign to
control the disease. No efforts to pre-
vent the spread of consumption can be
successful until the actual living cases
are both known and properly cared
for"

ner or the way in which he handled
them proved to our mind that he is
a natural born leader of men.
Near the last hour mentioned the
governor called out Mr.. Taylor, indi-
eating that he wanted US to come
forward and occupy the seat near his
desk and after doing so he stated that
he was pleased TO see us looking so
well. We returned the compliment and
just as he was getting ready to settle
down for a good talk one of the as
sistant secretaries brought him a batch
of bills to sign, while another assis-
tant secretary at the same time handed
him a number of kilograms .eongratu-
lating him on his eloquent Grafton
delivered the night before in that city
at the Home Rule Conference, which
appeared in these columns Saturday,
March Is. He handed the kilograms
to us to read while he was engaged in
signing the bills. Each and every one
who sent them wished him God speed
in his fight for the rights Of the com
mon people.
One was from Mr.. George Foster
Peabody, a leading banker of New
York City, Ex-treasurer of the Demo
cratic National Committee, one of the
Trustees of the Tuskegee Institute,
Booker T. Washington school, and a
friend of the Colored people.
To make a long story short in tax
ing our leave from Governor and Mrs.
Sulzer, who is a very admirable lady
in every way, who is highly qualified
to gracefully discharge all the social
duties as the first lady of the first
state in the union, whom we first had
the honor of meeting at the Denver
convention in 1908, the governor
warmly grasped US by the hand, and
looking US square in the eyes, declared
in firm voice: "Keep in touch with
me, Mr.. Taylor; you know 1 am your
friendl" We simply responded: "We
know that, governor"
Shortly after that or at four O'Clock
the fast train, No. 9, pulled out of
Albany, speeding on its way to Chi
cago, with the writer on board making
the home run of an almost two thou
sand mile tour through the east.

NEW HANDS AT THE HELM. COL
oRED ORPHAN CHILDREN FIND
NEW FRIENDS. MRS. PHOEBE
JONES TAKES CHARGE OF
AMANDA SMITH HOME.

A new administration of the we'll
known Amanda Smith Industrial Home
for orphan and dependent Colored chill
dren has been inaugurated with the
pledge of earnest support on the part
of many old and new friends. Mr..
Winston, Superintendent, has been sue
ceeded by Mrs. Phoebe Jones of Bow
ling Green, KY, who comes to the
work prepared by many years of pub
lie school teaching and bearing high
endorsements of ministers, teachers, and
school board officials of Kentucky.
Mrs. Winston, matron, has also re-
signed.
Mrs. Jones has made strong friends
for the new work, and has won new
supporters for the school, by her un-
questioned ability to do the work and
her manifest fitness for the place.
Equipped by fine education and many
years of experience with training chill
dren, she inspires hope on all sides,
that this Home for children will enter
on a new period of prosperity.
The welfare of dependent ColOred
children is engaging the attention of
many social welfare workers in Chi
cago. All recognize that something
should be done to prepare a we'll
equipped school for COlOred children
who suffer so many sights and so much
imposition at the hands of quasi pub
lie institutions Many realize that
Amanda Smith Home could easily be
made a most effective agency for good
service along its chosen line of work,
by the cooperation of those who are in
terested in the welfare of COlored chill
dren.
The public generally should become
interested in the welfare of orphan and
dependent children who should find
care, custody and training to fit them
for lives Of usefulness. We can not af-
ford to neglect our own unfortunate
little ones and we should lend a hand
to agencies like Amanda Smith Home
and help to establish at least one great
public institution Of this kind.
Mrs. Jones deserves the friendly and
sympathetic interest of all who are in
elined to help dependent children to
find a way to present protection and
future betterment. She invites eoun-
sci and visitation to the Home at 147th
Street which can be reached on the
Illinois Central trains by an hour e ride,
almost any. hour Of the day. The
Board Of Managers and Trustees com.

administration Of affairs, and the young
people eonhded to her care and train
ing, the cordial support Of all friends Of
dependent Colored children.
The Home is supported BY charity
from the public, and donations of food,
fuel, clothing and money are thankfully
received, publicly acknowledged and
faithfully applied. Communications
