Excerpt from The Great White Plague: Simple Lessons on Causes and Prevention This little book is intended for pupils from the age of twelve or thirteen years onward. It has been the aim to make the material contained in it of practical interest to teachers as well as to pupils. The treatment throughout is simple and concrete, and every principle developed is illustrated with instances drawn from the every-day experiences of children of the ages for whom the book has been prepared. Generous use has been made of photographs and diagrammatic pictures. If the pupils now in the schools could be so instructed in respect to the subject matter of this book that it would take effect in their daily living, tuberculosis would be materially diminished immediately; and in a generation or two it would probably disappear completely. It is doubtful if it can be got rid of in any other way. The authors have had the co-operation of the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Association in the preparation of the book; and acknowledgment is hereby made of valuable financial help as well as criticisms and suggestions made by the officers of the Association. Acknowledgment is also made of assistance received from Superintendent C. P. Cary, and from Professor W. E. Leonard, Miss M. E. Ashmun and Mrs. E. E. Hoyt of the University of Wisconsin.
