Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Open Air Schools for the Prevention and Care of Tuberculosis Among Children The subject of outdoor schools for tuberculous children or those predisposed to this disease is not a new one. The first experiment with them was made in Germany as early as 1904. The expression "predisposed to tuberculosis" refers to that group of children who by reason of inheritance or environment furnish so many cases of the disease. From the very beginning these schools have proven to be of great value, not only in benefiting the children in these schools, but also by demonstrating clearly some of the defects in the public schools. A study of the measures directed toward the prevention of tuberculosis shows that the problem is largely an economic one, and until economic conditions are adjusted all measures are at best only remedies which may improve existing conditions. The sanitarian, however, can not afford to wait on the adjustment of economic conditions, but must use every remedy at hand. In the outdoor school is found one of the cheapest, simplest, and most efficient remedies for the cure and prevention of tuberculosis among children. It is beyond the stage of experiment, and is recognized as one of the standard remedies. As in all antituberoulosis work the problem is most acute in the congested districts of the large cities and among the people who are on the border land of poverty. The mill and factory towns with a large population who earn just enough to live from week to week, furnish some of the most difficult situations. In these homes where poor hygienic conditions are the rule, when the breadwinner or other member of the family is stricken with tuberculosis, the protection of the children in the home becomes very difficult, if not impossible. The patient has usually reached the advanced stage of the disease before he is located and when located probably refuses to go to the hospital.
