Dr. Dowling finds a need so urgent for funds for fighting hookworm that he advocates using some of the school allotments which even now are inadequate. The economic waste is evident of trying to educate there defective children. More important than economic losses, however, are the lowered ethical standards incident to hookworm disease conditions.
