In . letter to the State Association. Dr. Hatfield says:
 over 200 900 children in the United States are left orphans every year on account of tuberculosis. according to tional Tuberculosis Association.
 Tn arriving at this figure, the Asso- ctation computes that there are at least 15o. 1000 deaths from tuberculosis in the United States every year. On the basis of figures provided by the United States Bureau of the Census, 1t is estimated that of the 160,00o not less than 75.00o are married. The average number of children in Ameri- can families Is 2S On the basis of these figures, the Association esti- mates that the number of orphans as a result of deaths from tuberculosis would be we'll over 200 900 every year
 Tine problem of providing care for these orphans. practically all of whom are already infested with tuber- culc Iis, and of raising them to be healthy and self-respecting citizens is one O. the utmost importance.
 The Association points out that the additional drain upon society caused by 200, 900 orphans who are brought to this condition by a preventable dis ease costs hundreds of millions of dol lara, most of which could be saved by proper community organization.
 The twelve hundred state and local tuberculosis assoclaticS of the country are organizing this community effort Their support is derived from the sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals to be held rom December l to IL"
