Has the Great Idea in Health Work

EFH7HILE the recent presentation of
WV the categorical photograph, 1.-The
Conflict" to the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association represents a
new tribute to the work of the asso-
citation and the first one ever made in
pictorial form, it is in a way typical
of the impression which the activities
of the organization make upon those
who come in close touch with them.
Outside commentator frequently
comes from other states, many of
them having come to look to Wiscon-
sin for leadership in health work
Some years ago Samuel Hopkins
Adams, author of "The Clarion, "The
Great American Fraud" and other
books, writer and investigator recog-
nized from coast to coast as absolute
" fearless, came to Wisconsin for the
special purpose of inquiring into the
association and its methods. After
spending several days at the task, he
wrote many-columned magazine arti-
Gle. filled with enthusiastic praise and
admiration from start to finish. in
which he said:
Selling health is the actual bust
ness of the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber-
culosis association. 1t has completely
commercialized a splendid endeavor;
commercialized it not for private profit
but for public gain. 1t has found a
method Of making money not only talk
but teach Before you can make
money work for you, you must first get
the money. In other words: first catch
your dollar Or, to get down to the
Dearholt basis, your penny For the
penny is the unit of efficiency in this
campaign.
Now to q Wisconsfnite, an organ
ization, dependent upon public sup
port. which does not beg and beg
mainly from the rich may not afford
occasion for wonder. But to me the
principle was revolutionary. 1t re

A special department for securing

lines began.
Education became the watchword of
this campaign not dull, uninteresting
textbook, dry-as-dust lecture. stuff, but
graphic and to some degree sensa-
tional presentation of the subject The
health exhibit came into being, illus
trated lectures were given. A second
state commission was appointed, re-
sulting in the organization of the Wis
consin Anti-Tuberculosis association
in fulfillment of pledge made to the
group of Wisconsin cities who volun-
tarily taxed themselves to send Wis
consin's first tuberculosis exhibit to
Washington during the international
Congress ON tuberculosis. Support to
this project was given with the ex-
press understanding that in return
Wisconsin forces against tuberculosis
should be organized on state basis.
Entire State Enlisted.
Thus from the first the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis association has been
a statewide movement. meeting a
statewide need, and deriving its au-
thority directly from the people whose
interests it serves. Even in its method
of financing the work it ties itself up
in the closest possible way with the
people Of the state and asks them
each year for their continued endorse
ment of the work that is being carried
on for them and in their name With
the Red Cross Christmas seal, the asso-
citation raises practically every cent
that it spends, carries the message Of
health to every person who buys OF
sells a seal, and places In their hands
a ballot for the continuance of the
associations organized fight against
tuberculosis and other preventable dis
eases.

sale was held in December, 1908, to

headquarters in the private office OF
DR. Hoyt e. Dearholt. then chairman
of the publicity committee and for the

of it the publicity department hired
the associations first paid worker,
Harvey Dee Brown. lecturer and or
ganizer who is now in the east with
the tuberculosis committee of the New

The first annual meeting of the Wis

was held in a Hotel Pfister bed

it was, was not crowded. AT the
dinner session of the annual meeting

parts OF the state, including delegates
