This will enable physicians to weed out the probable victims of the dis- ease. A regime of appropriate diet, rest and fresh air, applied in special schools and at home, will then go far to prevent tuberculosis from claiming those who would formerly have been its prey.

His plea is undoubtedly earnest and timely, though one could wish that what he conceives to be the greatest benefit from debating--the mental training--had been less dully expounded.
