unit, said everyone was very
complimentary of the facilities.
The second year Opening got
off to a start equal to that of
last year when the academy pio-
neered its first class in the base
ment of the Bank of Powhatan.
That was labeled a very success
full start. In fact. the first years
operation was labeled a highly
satisfactory one.

the first grade last year. is serv-
ing as principal and teacher of
the second grade. The second

both the number of new cases
uncovered and the number of

Figures compiled by the State

the 1858 total of 38.
At the present there are 572
cases of tuberculosis listed on
the register. This represents a
slight decrease from the number
on file on March 81, 1859, when
588 cases were listed. An esti-
mated $50 cases of active tuber-
culosis exist undiscovered in
Delaware.
The attack on tuberculosis in
the state was led last year by
the mobile unit teams which
took a total of 59,575 small x
ray films. Of this number, 4,125
were taken in migrant labor
camps.
The mobile X-ray units are
