debate, selected one Of them to fill the
vacancy. The members Of the commit
Zee thought that they were able to
Judge unerringly ~ to who Of the
many applicants should be admitted
first and be given precedence over all
the others. They were under the i'm.
preston that they could discriminate
between the hundreds Of applicants
who is more deserving or who is in
greater need. At one time an applicant
would be taken in because the commit
tee believed that he is more sick than
all the rest Of the waiting applicants,
at another time because he was u Hath-
er Of eight children and they thought
he should receive precedence over sin.
gle men. In other cases again IL was
deemed advisable to admit . case be-
cause Il was the first case to come
from that city. Some cases were ad.
mitted because the pressure from his
friends, from his lodge, from his or.
der or from q National Director was
too great to resist Thus acting con-
scientiously and in the light Of their
understanding, the Admission Dismis-
sion Committee has pursued the above
policy for a number Of years. There
is no doubt that each and every men,
Der Of the Committee thought that
he was doing his duty to the best Of
his ability.
Admission Committee Has the Blues.
The result, however, Of the first six
years Of the work Of this Committee
discovered that instead Of praise or
encouragement, which they thought
their unselfish labors deserved, they
have been accused Of all the crimes
on the calendar-or partisanship, Of
favoritism, Of hard-heartedness, Of
political pull and even Of petty graft.
OF course the members Of the Ad.
mission Dismission Committee knew
that there wasn't = scintilla Of truth in
all the accusations, but the dissatis-
faction Of the applicants grew and
made itself manifest in many ways.
This caused the members Of the Com.
mittee to think. They found that the
applicant for relief has his own views
on the subject and that his viewpoint
differs from the viewpoint Of the
management. They also found that
the applicants views are sometimes
the more logical and correct. After
q number Of meetings were held and
the subject studied thoroughly il
was found that the method they have
pursued was not entirely just and &C.
casionally IL was even unfair. The
Committee discovered that many Of
the applicants who were believed to
be absolutely penniless and starving
had money in the savings bank. In .
number Of cases the Committee mis-.
judged the severity Of the symptoms
In a number Of cases they have up-
unwittingly admitted cases through
pressure.
The New Method.
A new system had to be devised, and
II was therefore decided that all cases
should be admitted to the Sanatorium
In the order in which the applications
are filed. First come, first served, was
adopted as the guiding principle. This
rule has been adhered to most rigidly
during the last few years and has
proved to be highly satisfactory to al

fact that they have now to wait for
their admission just as long as they
used to do under the previous method,
there Is less grumbling. This blind me.
ehanical and machine like policy has
proved after all to be more just, more
equitable and more satisfactory than
the policy Of judging each case indi-
vidually which was pursued in the
early days.

We have made, during the last ten
years, every possible effort to explain
our method Of admission Of applicants
TO the Sanatorium in our official pub.

correspondence, with applicants.
friends and national directors. We
hav emade IL perfectly clear to our
thousands Of friends who have en-.
trusted Us with the conduct Of the San.
atorium that we do not make any ex.
eeptions to our rule Of first come,
first served" All tuberculosis case,
are alike TO US. They are all sick. They
all must be helped. But there are not
enough beds for all Of them, and,
therefore, some are lucky to be admit.
ted first and some must wait. And yet
in spite Of our propaganda there are Q
number Of our friends who insist that
the man or woman whom they recon-
mend for admission must be admitted
forthwith regardless Of how many ap.
plicants there are waiting. In order
to drive the truth home we will illus.
trate our argument with the bread.

Imagine that there is a bread line
and people are waiting for their loaf

people in the line. They are all hun.

Of losves to be distributed today.
More bread will be distributed later.

Would you not hand loaf to each one
as he passes you in line! You certain.
ly would not think il proper to halt
the procession and call on the last man
in the line or the man in the middle
Of the line and hand him q loaf. II you
did, what would the first man sayi
What would oil the men in the line doi
They would accuse you Of unfairness
they would raise cain" and end In
q riot And they would be right.
The New Method Illustrated.
That our readers may understand
the procedure, we will illustrate as
follows: An applicant for admission to
the Ssnatorium comes to the office,
files an application and inquiries how
long Il will take before he will be ad.
mitted. We invite him TO 20 over
the cards Of all applicants, which are
arranged according to the date when
the application was filed, and TO find
out for himself which one he Is on the
list He understands then that find.
