There appears to be a growing belief that tuberculosis, having dropped from first to a place far down the list of causes of death, is no longer a threat. This is not a new development, really, because from the beginning of public health interest in the disease, its true nature has not been widely understood or appreciated. Physicians and others who, through study and experience, have come to know more about tuberculosis have attempted by various educational devices to inform others of the danger. The Tuberculosis Committee of the American School Health Association has been one group of such “educators” attempting, over the years, at first to reduce and later wipe out the threat of tuberculosis to all personnel in the school environment.
