The Lake Shore News Thursday November 14, 1912 Tuberculosis Far-Reaching Causes More Suffering to Hu- manity Than Any Other Dis- ease--Is Mostly Caused Through Ignorance. SENTIMENT IS AROUSED Perhaps, of all the ills that flesh is heir to there is none so far-reaching and so prolific a source of suffering to humanity as tuberculosis. Much has been done already in the way of pubic education along the line of the nature of the diseaseâ€"the best means of preventing it, and the proper treat- ment in its various stages. There is no Question but that tuberculosis is practically always the result of igno- rance or prejudice, or both, except in cases where the crowding together of human beings in dark, dusty places, the lack of proper nourishment and the 'weakening effect of alcoholism may be held responsible. PUbltc sentiment is already aroused to the extent that sanitary conditions and-vacuum apparatus for removing irritating dust in rooms where many people work together are being in •tailed and larger breathing space is being alloted to the denizens of the city's crowded quarters in playgrounds and small parka. Every protective measure in this matter is to be commended, but there is! one feature of the situation which has not as yet been given proper con- sideration, that of the well child in this public schools. In an article in the last issue of the Atlantic Monthly, Mr. Arthur Tracy Cabot, discussing the question, ••Tuberculosis and the Schools," says in part: "The situation is briefly that the state insists upon and enforces at- tendance at school during the grow- ing years of the child, and in so doing tacitly assumes responsibility that the child does not suffer any harm by rea- son of this school attendance. In approaching this problem the school authorities find themselves con- fronted by two classes of children. First, children who are anaemic, run- down and undernourished; in whom ml signs of tuberculosis can be de- tected, but whose condition suggests latent tuberculosis. Second, those whjo are actively tuberculous, and in whom the disease can be positively diagnosticated. Are Dangerous. Children in the first of these classes sat not dangerous to other children. They can associate intimately with well children, but they are liable at aay time to become actively tubercul- ous, and therefore dangerous. It is quite clear that the children wHh open communicable tuberculosis sbauid be separated from the healthy children for two reasons: First, be- cause the community is responsible ftfr the reasonable protection of the wall children, whom it forces to attend scmooL Secondly, these children should be segregated on their own account. They need an even more rigidly con- ducted open-air treatment than do the debilitated children. They need extra feeding. They need a careful regula- tion of their work and rest hours under the guidance of a physician end the constant care of trained nurses, experienced In tuberculosis. They must be taught the precautions need- f d to prevent their giving the disease to others. In short, they need hospital care and treatment, and their teaching and study must be regarded as of secondary importance. For the debilitated children Mr: Cabot advocates the open-air school, in which they develop physically and at the same time become more men- tally alert so that their lessons are mastered with fewer hours of work. But for children on whom the disease has already set its hand this is not enough. The open-air school for them should partake of the nature of the hospital rather than the school. Such an experiment has been made in Boston by the Association for the Relief and Control of I Tuberculosis, and tried out so satisfactorily for a time that it was taken over by the city and placed under the manage- ment of the Consumptives' hospital trustees. The children were given med- ical attention and the care of nurses' experienced in the treatment of the disease. By no means a negligible benefit of this manner at treating the patients resulted from the visiting of the homes from which; the children came by the nurses, whereby condi- tions of sanitation were introduced and the danger of infection of their members of the family and community considerably lessened. Appreciate Effort. That the people themselves appre- ciated the effort thus made to relieve their distressing situation is evidenced by the results which followed the clos- ing of the school. Contrary to the belief of the trustees to whom the care of the enterprise had been given, that the children would go into the hos- pitals and day camps to be cared for, more than one-half went back into the public schools, there to be a menace to well children, one-fourth went back into the community, some died, and only one-tenth entered the other institutions open to them, show- ing that parents who were perfectly willing to send their children to the hosltal school were unwilling to place them in the hospital proper. It would seem from these facts that the city of Boston has found the satis- factory means of dealing with this sub- ject from the standpoint of the well child as well as from that of the weak one, found it and lost it again. The experiment should, however, be useful to other communities which are facing the same problem. WAS FOUND.

Advocates Arbitration Baroness VonSuttner of Austria Speaking at Fisk Hall Wed- nesday, Spoke in Favor of Peace. GREAT AUDIENCE PRESENT The Baroness Von Suttner, of Aus- tria, addressed a large audience Wednesday in Fisk Hall upon the subject, "International Peace." The Baroness spoke under the Joint aus- pices, of the Evanaton Woman's Club and the committee for the Lindgren Peace endowment* Fund. The speaker denounced the blight of war in no uncertain tones and she believes that universal peace is the only agent which can keep the war ma- chines from tearing the very heart out of our civilization. Spoke on Peace By way of introduction, and as be- fitting election day, she gave the stand of the presidential candidates on the subject of peace. She said that when she visited President Roosevelt In 1904 at the White House he was very ve- hement in advocating peace, and he outlined three plans which he had for furthering the cause of peace. He later carried out all of these. On the other hand, he is now running on a platform advocating the fortification of the Panama Canal and the building of two battleships each year. She end- ed her remarks about Colonel Roose- velt by the statement that "the peace dove would not find a very comfortable perch on the horns of,the Bull Moose." Baroness Von Suttner said she had no means of knowing Mr. Wilson's stand upon the peace question, but she did know that Mr. Taft was a strong advocate of the subject, having done much towards international peace. With this introduction she launched upon her subject proper. The wars of today, she declares, are more horrible because a new disease, that of insanity, is added to the famine and cholera of former times. ' Modern warfare wrecks the nervous system because of the horrible strain upon the victims who are sacrificed to the god of war. Schaefer Bros. Undertakers 1573 Maple Ave., Evanston H.B.
