that the parks are among the most

was what to do with fourteen-year-
old boy who needs hospital care and
whose parents cannot afford to send
/ him 10 private sanatorium. where
the expense would be from SIS to $25

Columbia has no proper place for

Usually such a child has the child's
instincts of restless activity. 1t is
difficult for him to fit into the regime
older patients, most of whom are in

only relief by way Of diversion that
the hospital has to offer is through
the occupational therapy classes, or
ganized and carried on by the Tuber-
culosis Association. until such time as
Congress is prepared to make an ap-
preparation to take over this work.
With Adult Patients.
Even in these classes the boy would
have to mingle with adult patients,
and the program for his care and
treatment. if planned along the lines
of model children's sanatoria, would
call for an entirely different proce-
dure from that which the hospital for
adult patients is able to provide.
This is but single example of the
failure of the District Of Columbia to
make proper provision for its tubercu-
lous children. This need should be
frankly faced and some solution
should be found. Children twelve and
under are received from time to time
at the Children's Hospital, but this

way that sanatorium especially de-
signed for tuberculous children would
do. A recent authority on the treat

these principles Of action for children

trouble: % Contact cases with pass
able home conditions may be taken
care Of in the Open Air School. (2)
Contact cases who are not i'll in i'm

actually have tuberculous disease
should go to a special sanatorium.
a. It is often impossible to decide
where a given child belongs in this
classification. and II he is i'll with an
ailment unidentified he should go to
a children's hospital.
Preventive Work Inadequate.
1t Is the belIef OF many healtn
workers, who have studied the prob
lem of the child exposed to tubercu-
losis, that not until Washington is
better equipped to care for these four
classes Of children In the way indi-
Gated can the District Of Columbia be
said to be doing adequate preventive
work for those groups from which
most of the sufferers from tubercu-
losis in adult life are recruited.
To arouse public opinion to the
seriousness Of the situation and the
mad dequacy Of the present situation to
meet it is one of the aims of the
local tuberculosis Association. which

When a man finds his income di-

children's food supply; he does not
contrary. he marshals his expendi-
lures, in the order Of their impor-
tance. and cuts down those which are
of the least significance. He begins
his economies with the luxury and
display items of expenditure. Yet, in
this period of economy, there are peo-
pie in Washington demanding new
sites for parks. We on the contrary
ask for new sites for school build
