The Great White Plague desolates so many homes, that it should be treated with terrible respect in every home of the State. We hope literally to stop the schools and to swing the thoughts of the children for a short time to the desolation caused by this disease, and the possibility of preventing it.

In a letter to Miss Randolph, Superintendent R. C. Stenrnes, of the State Department of Public Instruction, approves of the project in the following language:

"I am very glad to cooperate with your association and to appoint December 5, from 2 to 3 D. M., as Tuberculosis Hour in the schools of the State. For several years we have realized the importance of educating the children in the prevention of tuberculosis. We believe that general education in the facts about the disease will do much to break the apathy regarding it.

"We agree with you that a special hour with special exercises will serve to impress the imagination of the children, and thus drive the facts home. We shall be glad to help in every way to have the hour observed in every school."
