- Denver, Colo., June 21. Several
speakers of note addressed the annua)
meeting of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuberculo
sis today.
Dr. George R. Pogue of Greeley, Colo.,
showed how in the small cities and
towns, the present antl-tuberculosis
movement had tended to produce a cer
tain fear and dread of tuberculosis,
which, because of the lack of adequate
official Information, made the control
of this disease very difficult
He showed how common latent tu
berculosis Is, particularly among chil
dren, and held that the reason why the
disease was so deadly in the years im
mediately following adolescence was
because there was "an over Indulgence
In foul air In the class room and board
ing house, together with ths many oth
er things that go to lower the resist
ing power of ths already Infected In
dividual." If ths facts about this condition of
affairs, and many others wars utilised
as a basis for antl-tuberculosls work,
the local control of consumption would
be much mors easy of accomplishment.
"A department of health," he said,
"with a cabinet officer at Its head,
could fn a short time, with his many
trained subordinates, do more to control
and prevent tuberculosis In man than
can ever be done by trying to educate
the people along the lines now laid
down. I do not attempt to criticise tbe
work that has been or Is now being
done by so many well meaning people
au over tne civilised world, but I do
see a great necessity for more light
on the subject and a necessity for hav
ing facts to deal with."
