Programs.
NATIONAL FUND IS SMALL.
National Tuberculosis Association and
American Red Gross shars Re
maInIng e.3 Per Cent.

Il "For the Health Of This Com
s5~ munlty." Such Is the slogan
appearing on tho flap Of enve-
lopes on which the Red Cross
Christmas Seal Is printed. The issue
OF such envelopes in order to save the
trouble Of afilxing gummed seals TO
letters sent out in quantity by large
corporations and business houses has
been inaugurated this year as part Of
the machinery Of distribution set In
motion by the National tuberculosis
Association and Its 1000 State and To-
cal organizations in dlsposing OF more
than 050000.000 Red Cross Christmas
Seals during the ten day sale which
began on December 1.
The significance Of the slogan lies in
the fact That whether the letter is
mailed In Los Angeles or Boston, In
Chicago or In Galveston II still holds
true. "Thls community" literally
means the place where the seal is
bought and used. To be exact, 91.7
per cent OF the funds raised is devoted
to local anti-tuberculosls activities in
the state. OF the remaining S.3 per
cent portion goes to the Red Cross.

CONTROLLING EPIDEMICS
OF CONTAGIOUS DISEASES

Closing schools as means of con-
trolling epidemics OF measles, whoop-
ing cough, scarlet feXer, diptheria.
smallpox. and poliomyclitls should be
considered as last resort, to be used
only when thorough and systematic ap-
plication Of other mea sures fails to eff
feet control. As method II Is clum-
sy, unscientlfic, and satisfactory,
for II fails to control and results In
the loss Of school time and money. The
modern method Of careful daily in
spection Of infected schools, isolation
Cf sick children, and quarantine Of
contacts, Is both more effective and
economical.
such is the summary Of report made
by committee Of the Bureau Of Edu-
cation cooperating with n similar COM
miiiee Of the American Public Health
Association.
There has been progressive aban-
dolment OF faith In, and practice Of,
closing schools ms a means of controll-
Ing epldcmlcs affecting school chill
drcn. Such exceptions ms occur relate
to the following special conditions: In
adequate medical supervision of
schools: severity Of epidemlcs that de-
fles all efforts mt control; and epidem-
les IN which the etiology Of the disease
Is unknown. such as infantlle paraly-
sis. epidemic meningitis, and possibly
a few others.
Tie successful control Of epidemic
iisease among school children re-
quires:
1. Keeping the schools open, with
the possible exception OF sparscly set
tied districts when medical inspection
camot be obtained and where aggrc-
yaiipn takes place only In the schools.
.. Careful daily or frequent pcriodi-
cal inspection Of schools.
9. Careful provision for exclusion OF
cfses aud contacts, emphasis being
rlaced ON clinical data rather than
upon fixed periods Of exclusion.
4. Systematic home visitation.
3. Reliance upon natural and physi-
cal cleansing rather than upon chemi-
cal disinfectants, or fumigation.
"The carrying out of such a pro-
gram" states DIR. c. u. Waller. State
Commissioner Of Health, "necessitates,
of course. the providing by the commu-
nifty Of an active, trained health off
Ger. who should, together with an ade'
custe staff, devote his entire time to

ENGLISH LABOR UNIONS
DECLINE PROPRIETORSHIP

A striking instance Of the attitude
Of the British labor organization upon
the subject of proprietorship has been
afforded this year. The British Gov
crrment having on its hands two great
shipyards constructed during the war,
recently offered TO sell them to the
Federation OF Engineering and Ship
building Trades upon very favorable
terms.
1t was n chance to secure not only
steady wages, but the profits of man
agemcnt, and to demonstrate that high
compensation to capitalistic managers
was unnecessary. The Federation.
however, declined the tender. Its off
cials did not wish to assume the re-
sponsibility of managing shipyards.
They don't want the shipyards on q
competitive basis, where fair test OF
efficiency could be had. They want
