SCHOOL Of PUBLIC
WELFARE At \. c.

Chapel Hill. N, c., Feb. 29.--Com-
bining forces with the southern div
lsion of the American Red Cross the
University OF Mort Carolina will
place in the 1920 summer school a
school OF public welfare, the first of
its kind in the South.
Courses will be offered for all kinds
OF social workers and one special
training course will be given for
county superintendeuts of public well
fare. The Red Cross will send a
group of staff specialists TO Chapel
Hill for the duration of the sum n1er
school, a survey director and his as
sistants for part OF the time, and
special lecturers from time to time.
The establishment of the school
marks an important step in social
education in the South, according to
President Chase, who said:
The rising tide of social conscious
ness all over the South has created
a demand for social workers Of every
kind that cannot at present be met.
A wide field of new problems has
been opened up and maay of the
workers are unframed and unexper-
fenced. The University and the Red
Cross are trying TO meet the need"

CHRISTMAS SEALS
FOR TUBERCULOSIS

- Christmas seals to be sold next De
cember will feature the double
barred cross. the emblem of the ma
tional campaign against tuberculosis,
instead of the American Red Cross.
In making this announcement the
National Tuberculosis Association
states that the American Red Cross
has formally withdrawn from partici-
patton in the Red Cross seal sale and
the tuberculosis movement, and that
hereafter the annual educational and
financial Christmas campaign will be
with distinctively tuberculosis seal
The Red Cross SEAL which has been
the means OF support OF the voluntary
agencies engaged in the fight against
tuberculosis throughout the United
Estates for over eleven years, has
raised over s10,000.000 for this cause
lin disseminating its cooperative rela
tionship with American Red Cross
DIR. Livingston Farrand the chairman
of the central committee of the Rel
/ Cross, states that the circumstances
make it inadvisable to continue the
use of the name and symbol of the
Red Cross. but that the tuberculosis
seal to be put out next Christmas by
the National tuberculosis ASsocia ton
will be recognized by the American
Red Cross as the lineal descendant of
the Red Cross seal.
DR. Charles J, Hatfield, managing
director Of the National tuberculosis
Association, announces that the sale
of seals at the recent holiday will
bring in a gross return of somewhat
over s4.100 900. according to present
reports, thereby assuring a much
| lager war against tuberculosis during
the coming year than has been dis
played in previous years.
In a statement issued to the news
papers of the country, DR.. Eatfeld
says: The thanks of the National
tuberculosis Association to the news

not adequately be expressed IN words.
Without your assistance we could not
