it tuberculosis, a fact that helps to
increase the confidence of the patient
in his physician and in the treatment.
The important thing in the treat
ment of tuberculosis is the education
of the patient. Six months is the
length of time that the average in
cipient case requires to recover from
the disease. During this time the
rules of healthful living and the spe
cial care which the ex-tuberculosis
patient must observe in order to keep
wdl, are so thoroughly drilled into
him that the chances of a relapse are
almost nil, provided he continues to
observe them. As an illustration of
how conscientiously the patients obey
instructions, there is the story of
last summer’« ball game at which
Christy Matthew «on, “ex-T. B.,” and
the idol of the Saranac colony, pitched
the first ball. The patients at Tru
deau are requested not to talk loudly^
because of the strain this pl^res upon
»he throat and lungs. The impulse
on this
occasion, however, was
stronger than the will power of the
fans, and one of the crowd in the
grandstand rose and shouted “Three
good cheers for Matty! But.” he added
quickly, “not too rousing boys, re
member!” And one of their number
who had been put on “absolute
silence” by his physician whispered
hoarsely, “Gosh, I can’t cheer for
you Matty, but I’ll cough for you!”
The conscientious patient thus
trained, upon his return home« spreads
• he gospel of good health among his
friends. Besides knowing how to
take care of his own health, he under
stands the principles of community
hygiene. He knows the dangers of
spitting; he knows that flies are
germ carriers; he haa learned that
tuberculous
cattle spread disease
through infected milk and that, there
fore, all cattle should be tuberculin
tested or their milk pasteurized. So
that the business of “curing” at Tru
deau affects not only the individual
patient, but trtole communities
throughout the country to which they
come back to continue their lives of
social and economic uteBulneas.
Hundreds of other sanatoria for
the treatment of tuberculosis have
been established throughout the
eounti-y during the past 15 years.
But many more are needed to care
for the many cases for whom there
are at present no vacant beds. To
raise funds for this purpose and other
phases of the tuberculosis campaign,
the National TuberculoBis association
and its affiliated organizations are
holding their annual sale of Christ
mas seals in December.

PRESS OPINIONS ON BILL
Not Settled
Monitor, San F'rancisco
Oregon’s action on Tuesday haa not
settled by any means its school issue.
The winning of a skirmish doesn't
settle a war, and perhaps it’s just m
well that thia education question
should be brought to a definite set
tlement and bring with it a new dec
laration of the elementary right« of
man. The way to state paternalism
has been of late too much like the
famous Vergilian descent to Avernua.
Oregon may be doing an unconscious
service to the country in bringing
people beck to a clearer atmosphere
for the understanding of principles
of liberty and justice. At least she
has shown one method in which the
power of the ballot may be misused,
and has given a classic illustration
of the way in which some things
should not be done.
Advertismg Oregon
Capital Joural, Salem
We have advertised ourselves as
the only stat« in the union where
the pec.ple have voted to close private
and church schools and make the
child the ward of the state. The elec
tion proved that Catholics and Lutn-
erans. Adventists and others main
taining religious schools ars not
wanted and that religious toleration
has been abolished in favor of sec
tarian fanaticism.
A Disgrace to the State
Oregon Voter
Enactment of the miscalled com
pulsory education bill by the voter«
of Oregon b a disgrace to the state.
It is only a matter of time before new
legislation will be enacted to permit
private and parochial schools to exist,
but the disgrace of this vote will not
be wiped out until it is forgotten.
Oregon will surely reverse itself, for
the law inflicts a hideous wrong, and
wrong so cruel will not survive even
in a state that temporarily waa so
inflamed by prejudice that it per
mitted this unjust law to be placed
upon its statute books.

thia issue» Its official supporters
cannot be happy.
One Loophole Left
Portland Oregonian
It will be noted that the parent or
guardian must send his child to “a
public school" and he is guilty of a
misdemeanor for every day’s failure.
If the Oregonian is able to interpret
the measure correctly—and it thinks
it is—the parent or guardian who
sends his son or daughter out of Ore
gon to a private or parochial school
goes contrary to the law. So far as
we can see, however, there is nothing
to prevent his moving with his family
to another state.
THE FINAL DECISION
Three New York men have filed a
bill of rights with the supreme court
of New York and asked that it be
