CHILD EASY PREY FORTUBERCULOSIS Hope of Conquering Disease Lies in City’s Ability to Lessen Contacts. Editor’s note: Methods of con- troliing tuberculosis are outlined in the following article written for | The Evening Star by the manag- | ing director of the District Tuber- | culosis Association. Part of the as- sociation’s program is operation of a health camp for checking the early stages of tuberculosis in in- | Jected children BY MRS. ERNEST R. GRANT. A child living in daily contact with & tuberculous person and especially under crowded home conditions, re- | ceives into his or her small body so many tuberculosis germs that re- | sistance is overwhelmed and in the| majority of cases the child becomes infected. ‘Tuberculosis works in a vicious eir- ¢ele: it creates more tuberculosis. Pov- | erty, malnutrition and crowded con- ditions profoundly influence the course | of the disease, but the direct cause and the real beginning is the implan- | tation of the tubercle bacillus into the body. The hope of préventing the | spread of this disease lies primarily in | the community's ability to lessen the | contacts of well children with per- sons who are suffering from tubercu- losis in an active form and who are daily discharging tubercle bacilli All persons suffering from tubercu- | losis in a communicable form should | be isolated in hospitals or sanatoria— providing, of course, there are ade- | quate facilities to meet the city's needs. Two Beds for Each Fatality, l One of the oldest, accepted stan- dards for the control of tuberculosis is “that every city should have at least two hospital beds Inr each dea'h caused by tuberculosis.” Last year, in Washington, the healvh department reported 662 deaths from tuberculosis. During that same pe- riod there were available only 625 beds for t or less than half the r ed number, Ob- viously th N Capital City should have more hospital beds, if the children are to be protected in the home from daily contact with tuberculous patients, Another essential element in pre- vention is the efficiency with which linic fulfills its sev- s medical : ision, place- | ment of patients in hospitals or sana- | toria, education of patients and fam- ily and industrial rehabilitation. Law Must Be Effective. A third important factqr in the program of prevention nad control is the effectiveness of the law regu- lating the reporting and registration of this disease Such & pr is built upon the findings of the following committees: The Handicapped Committee of the public schools, the Health Committee of the Monday Evening Club, the Health Committee of the Council of Social Agencies, the Child Health Ed- ucation Committee of the Tuberculo- #18 Association and the Tuberculous Children's Sanatorium Committee. | The children’s sanatorium will ac- | commodate 150 patients. Obviously, | the continuance of the two health schools that provide special care for | tuberculous children is an unchaL: lengeable necessity. | In our public and parochial schools | there are large numbers of anemic and undernourished children who would ! benefit markedly by an adjusted pro- gram and a health regimen more con- ducive to their physical upbuilding— | a program such as is provided in the two health schools. ne-Point Program. { we are to protect children program should 's Sanatorium n suffering from 1 active or progressive form should be excluded in accordance with the law from all public, private and parochial schools, including !hr two health schools. 3: That a new building should b? provided, comparable with the Alli-| son Street Health School for white children, tb replace the Toner School for colored children 4. That the two health schools con- tinue in operation for the benefit of children subnormal in health, includ- ing those suffering from the non- infectious type of childhood tuber- culosis. 5. That an open window class (ac- eording to the new interpretation) be established in each large school build- ing. 6. That the children’s summer camp be enlarged sufficiently to eliminate waiting lists—enlarged sufficiently to provide for all tuberculous children in need of special care who are not eligible for sanatorium treatment | 7. That a larger central tuberculosis elinic for both adults and children, | with an adequate number of examin- ! ing specialists and clinic nurses be provided. H 8. That the bed capacity for tuber- | eulous patients be increased to provide | two beds for each death from tuber- | culosis. ‘ 9. That the law regulating the re- | porting and registration of tuberculosis \ and the regulations promulgated under | authority of the health officer be Te- | vised in order to conform more nearlv to present practice and methods cf health department control | Protection against tuberculosis means | | isolation of all communicable cases | and general health building of all children. PARIS STRIKE ENDS Boulevard Restaurants Open With Revised Work Week. PARIS, July 21 (#).—The strike | which closed many Parisian boule- vard restaurants ended last night when operators signed an agreement revising the work week. Waiters accepted a straight six-day week and employers approved the re- hiring of workers who participated in | the walkout.
