Isolation Hospital
 Opening Approved
Spread of Tuberculosis Here Feared Unless Waiting
 Patients Are Cared for-$3O,835 Asked of City

Acting on report of a committed which met with a similar group from the Waterbury Anti-Tuberculosis League, the board of health last night recommended to the Mayer and to the board of finance that an appropriation Of $30,835 be set up and the Isolation Hospital re-opened to serve as waiting station for Waterbury's increasing number of tubercular cases for which room cannot be found at once in state institutions.
 Serious Danger
 Danger of the spread of tubercu- losis because of economic conditions and because the state is unable to care for the waiting active cases, now numbering 24, was cited by Chairman J. Francis Smith of the committee comprising Board Presi dent Dr. Andrew Jackson, Dr. Ed ward H. Kirschbaum, Dr. Edward J Godfrey, city health officer. His re- port, he said. was the result of con- ference with the Anti-Tuberculosis leagues committee, w. J. Pape and William M Harris, at which the en- forced waiting of patients suffering with active cases or tuberculosis was seen as Il menace to the general health during such time as these pa tients must wait entry into state sanitoria.
 The appropriation, to be handled by the health department with the opening and staffing of the isolation hospital, would not be required in entirety for the current year, 1t was pointed out, and the present costs of maintaining the hospital, $3,595, and $6,000 the city is paying for care of tubercular cases in private institutions would be dcduccd from the gross.
 24 Cases Here
 The A active cases now without proper care represent double the number of tubercular sufferers of the same category last year. 1t was remarked, and this reflects econmic conditions which find many of the patients without basic safeguards either for preventing severe personal results from the ailment or for spreading the disease among those with whom they are in close con- tact. The commissioners agreed that the situation is serious and the report of the committee was lauded by the members.
 Commissioner Charles F. SciullC inquired whether the Anti-Tubercu- losis league would share the cost Ot equipping the isolation hospital and informed that 1t would not, moved that the matter of the appropriation be referred both to the mayor and the board of finance with the health boards recommendation
 Repairs Needed

 The amount paid in, $2,800, 1000 un- til this morning with today's re- ceipts still to be counted, compares favorably with collections of last year, the collector remarked. He said that the figure may be somewhat higher than that of last years total collections at this period.

"EAT YOUR carrots" mother
urged two-year-old Norman. The
youngster stared at his spoon.
Something about the handle
caught his attention. He fin
gered the engraved pattern and
took his time. Mother sighed
YEARLY. "Hurry, Norman. l
haven't all day. Eat your din
ner," she ordered. Startled, the
child let his spoon fall. Luckily,
it fell on the table instead of on
the floor.
Putting it back in his hand,
mother said, EAT" Still taking
his time, the youngster now dug
into the carrots. Not satisfied,
mother hurried him again.
Finally some Of the mashed
carrots reached his mouth, but
not all.
AS usual, little Of the food
was destined to fall on him, the
table or on the floor, depending
upon the angle at which he held
the spoon. This time it landed

YOUNG CHILD CAN learn ONLY ONE THING AT Time

Many mothers make the mis-
take of trying to teach the
young child several things at
once. He can learn only one
thing at a time and before he
can learn even that, certain
rules should be followed. Get
the child's attention first by
speaking his name. Then tell
him what you want, slowly and
distinctly. If he is slow to re-
spond, assume that he has not
heard. Repeat the order, using
the same language, tone and
manner. Don't rush him. Give
it time to sink in. And don't
confuse him by bringing up
other matters.
In teaching a young child
anything, decide what one phase
of the lesson is most important
and stick to the subject until it
is learned. In the case described,
getting Norman to feed him
self was all that should have
mattered.

beside the lads plate. But in
stead of ignoring those few
spatters of food, mother saw an
opportunity to improve his man
ners.
"Look, Norman" she said
patiently, you've spilled your
dinner on the tablecloth. See if
you can eat the next spoonful
without dropping any,
Meanwhile, Norman had re-
discovered the handle on the
spoon and was lingering it with
interest. Losing patience,
mother grabbed the spoon away
and, in spite of his protests,
ended by feeding him herself.

DURING THE holidays, a
month or so ago, the plight of
the children of warning parents
was forcibly brought to my at
tention. Poor little things,
young as they are they are
paying for the mistakes, sins if
you like, Of their parents.
Prep and boarding schools are
filled with children of parents
who, not having made go of
it, have no place in which the
children can live.
Packing them off to school
has been made painless pro-
cess. Most youngsters appear
to like going away from home
to school even when conditions
at home are happy. When they
are not, boarding schools offer
a haven for the unhappy child.
But when holidays come
around and ones schoolmates
are packing up for their Christ
mas, Easter or summer vaca-
tions, these children of broken
families face a hard situation
They are apt to develop in
feriority completes or feeling
of being different from normal
children, especially when ques-
toned by other children as to
their holiday plans. The evasive
answers they feel forced to give
in many instances tend to de-
velop undesirable traits.
