Thoughtful students have long realized
that more must be done to strike at the
underlying causes Of tuberculosis. In
this city particularly, we must continue
to work for improving housing conditions.
Our transit problem has a very definite
relation to tuberculosis, and we will be
measure bly, nearer our goal IL we can
provide decent suburban housing condi-
lions accessible to the business centers
We are still far behind European cities
in intelligent city planning. The condi-
lions under which many of our people
labor add greatly to the difficulties in
the way of a solution of the tuberculosis
problem. The increasing cost of food
also deserves serious consideration.
On the basis of over 5000 recognized
cases of tuberculosis on register with the
health authorities in New York City,
and assuming that every 500 cases mean
loss OF half a million dollars to the
community. we have the appalling total
OF 49,, coo. 900 lost to New York City be-
cause Of tuberculosis 1nasmuch as most
authorities agree on from three TO four
years as the average duration OF the
disease, this means an annual loss to
the city of at least $lO,0OoOO0.
So far as the consumptive himself Is
concerned, we need above all to provide
employment under conditions which will
not only conserve his health and strength,
but will protect his fellow-workmen.
Moreover. a method must be devised by
which remuneration in such employment
| must be proportionate to the patient
needs and not merely to his earning ca
pacity A few experiments have been
made in this direction. but no compre-
hensive plan has yet been inaugurated
Here is a splendid opportunity for one
of our fnr-sighted millionalres!
