Both speakers, who had conducted investigation: widely _separated communities, arrlved at the conclu- sion that care of children is the key to the eradication of the disease be- cause they are found to be the most stible to tubercular infection. v pointed to perfodic and frequent Al examinations of children in s and those of pre-school age sential to an eradication pro- gram.

Dr. Elliott outlined a program fol- lowed in Toronto, when the death rate from tuberculosis in child NS > oW, 1y duced from 240 per 100,000 to 65 per 100,000. i b Other eminent physicians who ha made a study of tuberculosis emj sized the benefi of health demonst tions as a means of securing mun pal and county support in con trol of the disease. These speakers, who addressed the sociological section. included: * Dr. Donald Armstrong, who de- scribed the health demonstrations in Framingham, Mass., which resulted in seven years in a reduction from 121 deaths per 1§0.000 to 40 per 100,000, and John A.
