!,
Recently this column comment
ed on the effort underway to pro
vide Federal assistance for enlar^
ing educational opportunities,
particularly in rural areas. Since
that time an interesting address
<<n the subject has been made by
Senator Thomas of Utah, Chair
man of t-he Senate Committee to
which the proposed legislation was
referred.
The following portion of the
Senator's address deserves atten
tion of all interested in education:
I . "The purpose of the bill is to
give Federal aid for education on
a basis of heed. As I have stated '
before, t-bere is no reason in the
United States of America ever to
have to Justify governmental aid
for education. Our public-school
system is part of the fundamentals
which go into making our demo
cracy. The theory of education as
it relates to the States and the
Nation is also well-established
The basic thought in relation to J
the theory of education in America
is that it should be locally con
trolled. The educational theory
which dominates American
thought today revolves around the
home, the public school, the pri
vate school, and the church-con
trolled school. Each one of these
contributing factors to the educa-'
tion of our boys and girls must' be
and will be protected in its in
dividual sphere, because our sub
stitute bill sees to it that the dis- j
tribution of funds which the Fed- ?
eral Government donates to the
States will be administm&l. decid- (
ed upon, and divided in accord
ance with State action. Thus, any j
fear which anyone may have about j
a Federal control of the system of'
education is, of course a baseless
fear, because there is no one in .
the United States who wou'd like
to see education dominated from
any single center in our country. .
"A bill which subdues the Fed
eral Government as an administra-,
tor of education, yet requires and
permits the Federal Government J
to guarantee to the States an'
abundance of education, cannot
help but be a landmark in our
national life, as we contemplate
States with varying degrees of lit
eracy and even more varying
shades of opportunity, and with
sot one of them offering what
might' be termed a full, reasonable
cpportunity for education of child
and adult. Under the bill the edu
cational need is first determined
by setting up certain general
standards which are deemed es
sential for the proper training of
a boy and a girl. The financial
ability to meet this standard is
next determined, and if a State
i-hould be fortunate enough to be
r.ble to meet the standard, then
tuch State is deemed not in need
of Federal aid. But any State
which is discovered to be lacking
in the essential educational abili
ty.. and in the financial ability to
meet that essential, is deemed in
need of Federal aid.
i ut uiii speeiucauy uucs ivjui
things^ First, it makes grants to
States for\eiementary and high
schools. These grants embrace ap
propriations beginning July 1,
1939, and increasing each year
through June 30, 1945. which may
be used as the States direct for
general educational purposes.;
Further, the bill authorizes an ap
propriation for improved teacher ;
preparation under State plans and
for the construction and improve
ment of school buildings.
"The second major feature of
the bill pertains to grants for
adult) education, beginning with
an initial appropi iation of $5,
000,000. The third feature relates
to rural library service, with an !
initial annual appropriation of
$2,000,000. As in all other fea
tures, the standard plan will be set
by the States themselves.
"The fourth title deals with re
search and planning, with an ini
tial appropriation of $1,250,000
while the remainder of the sub
stitute looks after children of
Federal employees on reservations
and at/ foreign stations, and with
iid for our territories.
"Thus we see that the habits
and customs, and the theories
and the way in which education
has developed In the United States
will be continued, and Mie plan
will be locally administered, but
the aid which Is so vitally neces
sary In many parts of oufcssuntry
will be forthcoming. However, the
Federal grant of money will be
made only when it is equally and
properly distributed and when the
need is proved and justified in ac
cordance with a scientifically
worked -out formula for the de
termination of that need.
"If this great educational aim
becomes a fact and a law in the
United States we will have done
for edjgjyon something quite as
his, qfllpB as great, and quite as
fundamental as we did when we
established and aet up the land
grant institutions. If, too, this
MU results In a law which guaran
tees to every boy and girl an
?qaal opportunity for a funda
mental education, American de
mocracy will, of course, be more
sure of being preserved and Am

Infection and disease. Between
infection and disease there is a
very definite distinction. Tuber
culosis infection means t-hat the
gernt^ &re present in the body,
without giving any manifestation
of the disease.
Tuberculosis disease means
that the germs have found a
chance to grow in the body, to
produce poisons to destroy t-he
tissues of the lungs, thus fre
quently producing well known
symptoms.
Tests show that most adults are
infected with tuberculosis, as a
rule not more t-!ian two in every
one hundred develop tuberculosis
disease.
Resistance: Everyone has a
normal wall ol resistance agaiust
disease, and especially against tu
berculosis. When tubercular
germs enter the body of a person
the natural defenses of the body
become engaged in walling off the
intruding germs, this prevents
them from causing evidences of
the disease. The person is said to
be infected, and whether he ever
becomes diseased depends entire
ly whether this defense wall holds
Imprisoned behind the wall thei
'germs are harmless and may re
main so for years. But the tuber
cular germ itself has peculiar po
wers of resistance, and if the wall
breaks it seizes it's chance. The]
break down of the resisting wall
Is due to two sets of causes ? en
vironment and persona!. Among
environment, some of the causes
are bad housing and living condi
tions. insanitary surroundings,
lack of medical and hospital fa
cilities. Personal causes that
break down resistance include
! contributing diseases, such as in-'
fluenza, "measles or scarlet fever,
lack of proper food, worry, faulty
habits of cleanliness, diet and ex
ercise.
Symptoms of Tuberculosis:
Sytnptoms of tuberculosis are of
; two kinds, local and constitutiori
i al.
I Local symptoms are due to defi
nite changes in Mie lung tissue
caused by the growth of the tu
bercular germ. Constitutional
symptoms are due to entrance in
the blood stream of products from
the diseased area, cough and ex
pectoration. a continued tired |
feeling, hoarseness, fever, rapid.

appetite. All these are warning
signals. The person who has a
cough frequently fails to consult
his physician because his trouble
seems to him nothing more than'
