52 A HISTORY OF NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION 



floor. These joint services are being developed under the direc- 

 tion of a Common Service Committee consisting of representa- 

 tives of the four organizations and the National Health Council. 



FINANCIAL SUPPORT 



The financial support of the National Tuberculosis Association 

 is derived from three sources: (a) A percentage of the sale of 

 Tuberculosis Christmas Seals, usually amounting to 5 per cent, of 

 the gross sale; (&) membership dues and donations; and (c) sale 

 of supplies. The Association receives no government subsidy or 

 appropriation, except where it does a special piece of work and is 

 compensated therefor. 



Any reputable physician in good medical standing and any lay- 

 man who is interested in the control of tuberculosis and is not 

 engaged in an enterprise foreign to the ideals of the Association 

 is welcomed to membership in the National Association. The 

 membership dues are $5.00 per year. Members of the Association 

 are entitled to receive a number of valuable publications, includ- 

 ing the Journal of the Outdoor Life, a monthly magazine and the 

 official organ of the Association and the monthly Bulletin of 

 the Association, as well as various publications which are issued 

 from time to time, such as the Transactions, Tuberculosis Direc- 

 tory, and various special volumes and studies. Members are also 

 entitled to receive the American Review of Tuberculosis, an- 

 other monthly publication of the Association, at the reduced price 

 of $3.00 per year (price to non-members, $6.00 per year). Checks 

 should be drawn to the order of Henry B. Platt, Treasurer, and 

 should be sent to 370 Seventh Avenue, New York City. 



An active organization doing such extensive humanitarian work 

 as ours cannot and should not depend for a considerable portion 

 of its entire financial support on the small annual dues of its mem- 

 bers. We must look to our well-to-do fellow-citizens for sub- 

 stantial help to carry on our work effectively. We should have a 

 larger number of life members to assure a permanent income to 

 the Association, but bequests of larger and smaller amounts are 

 also needed. 



It would be ungracious to close this historical review without 

 paying our tribute and expressing our gratitude to the men and
