Tuberculosis Control Praise From Missouri Schools
Dr. W McN Miller told the State Teachers Association in St Louis that Missouri editors and schools are showing the world how to eradicate tuberculosis. He cited a 1915 drop of 165 deaths and two and a half percent annual decline in the state death rate, saving nearly four million dollars that year and over nine million in four years. He noted Red Cross seals promoted by schools and newspapers boosted awareness, with Jasper County rural schools receiving seals and materials. Seals may be sold by mail or through school distribution, with full school credit. A report on last year’s seal sales and awards will be published next week.
