174 ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION 



that microscopical examination as a substitute for 

 the inoculation method should be discouraged. 



I fully realize that this scheme, of which I give 

 the merest outline, will mean considerable expendi- 

 ture, but it is an expenditure which will mean the 

 eradication of tuberculosis from our cattle and the 

 saving of at least 20 or 25 per cent, of our children. 

 The majority of us grumble at the increased taxation 

 for education, school medical attention, and a host of 

 other things, but I am convinced that as a nation our 

 grumbling does not mean very much when we really 

 are convinced that our money is being spent to im- 

 prove the health and general physique of our people, 

 and we will even cease to grumble at the giving of 

 money when we realize that it is being spent to save 

 the lives of our children, and in some measure to 

 banish from our homes that dread " white plague" 

 tuberculosis.
