That Congress would soon establish a model sanitarlum for tuberculosis children in the District of Columbia to meet needs deplorably lacking here for 24-hour treatment service without which cures were said to be improb- able was the hope expressed last night by Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon general of the United States Public Health Service, and other leading health thorities who addressed the Monday vening Club at the open forum dis- ssion held in the Young Women's Christian Association Building. “Washington sometimes does things in a big way, but it has no sanitarium for its tuberculosis children,” Dr. Cum- ming said. Washington is the only large city in the United States, per- haps in the civilized world, that lacks a sanitarium for children. “We have never asked for one until just before Congress adjourned last Dr. Cumming said. “We should have sooner awakened to a need | which most cities, with a more highly | developed popular consciousness of civic responsibilities, discover much earlier in_their eareer.” Deploring the lack of facilities here for the treatment of children Dr. Cum- ming was supported in his contentions that a saniarium is the special need of the city In the conduct of an anti- tuberculosis campaign by Dr. J. Win- throp Peabody, superintendent of the uberculosis Hospital; Dr. D. Percy cling, chairman of the health cog- T, Coursen B. Conklin, secretary of the Medical Society of the District, and Dr. Joseph D. Rogers, chairman of the health committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Mrs. Ernest R. Grant is chairman of the Monday Evening Club’s committee which is conducting work on behalf of a tuberculosis sanitorium for children here. Cites Qther Schools. Dr. Cumming called attention to the fact that there are two excellent tuber- culosis schools in Washington designed for children not sick enough to be in & hospital, but able to go to a fresh-air day school with short hours of study and a long period of rest. “These schools should continue to function as at present,” he said, “but they should be allowed to restrict their pupils to children of very early tuber- culosis, without fever or in need of hos- pital care.” Both Dr. Cumming and Dr. Hickling criticized the conditoin of these children and the attitude of teachers toward teaching -outside the school sys- tem. “I am told,” said Dr. Cumming, “that many of the children attending the tu- berculosis schools are picked up by a school bus as early as halp past 7 in the morning and are returned to their homes late in the afternoon and that many of these children have fever and other symptoms of active tubercu- losis. Many of these children live long distances from the tuberculosis schools and must be greatly fatigued by the long journey to and from school.” Dr. Hickling, in pointing out the need for a tuberculosis sanitarium, daclerad there seems to be “some hesitancy” on the part of teachers to teach outside the regular school system and a disinclina- tion on the part of some school author- ities to teach in a hospital. Mrs. Grant, at this point, explained to the club members that the Board of Edueation has gone on record as in- dorsing 24-hour treatment for tubercu- lous children and declared she believed teachers would be glad to teach in any hospital provided. Urge 24-Hour Treatment. All four medical authoritles who ad- dressed the club agreed that there can be no effective cure with less than a 24-hour treatment such as only can be provided in a sanitarium as desired for ‘Washington. Both Dr. Hickling and Dr. Rogers said that the Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce would do their utmost to help in the passage of the bill now pending in Congress. Dr. Rogers said that the medical profession in the District “will back up its health committee.” Dr. Conkling, representing the Medl- cal Society, declared that the medical profession realizes that “the attacking of the problem of tuberculosis in adults is best done by proper care and con- sideration of tuberculosis in children. The executive committee of the medical soclety, he said, has pledged the con- certed action of the profession “to get for the District of Columbia this in- stitution which is so badly needed.” Attention was called by Dr. Peabody of the Tuberculosis Hospital to a sur- vey of 192 children made here recently who have “contact” with tuberculosis in their homes as illustrating the need of separating cases. Holds Location Unimportant. The location of the proposed sani- tarium for Washington is not of great importance, Dr. Cumming pointed out, and may safely be left to the District Commissioners. There seems to be no reason to doubt, he said, that Congress will give early and favorable considera- ConnanTIED 7 (509 pos 0] Autocrat Motor Oil ranks as the finest 1007 Pure Pennsyl- vania, Permit No. 52.
