SIXTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING 253 



B. That persistent efforts be made to increase facilities for the early diagno- 

 sis and treatment of patients in their home states. 



1. By the establishment of schools for the intensive study of tuberculosis 

 similar to those at Trudeau and Colorado Springs. 



2. By the construction of additional sanatoria and the establishment of 

 more tuberculosis clinics. 



C. That health resort communities be urged to make and enforce such rules 

 and regulations as are necessary to protect themselves from the dangers caused 

 by the presence of persons afflicted with tuberculosis. Such regulation and 

 supervision are necessary in all states but especially so in those to which suffer- 

 ers go from other states. Better control along these lines might become an im- 

 portant factor in actually reducing migration. 



To assist in the practical and early fulfillment of these general recommenda- 

 tions your Committee makes the following specific suggestions: 



First: That our Association urge the establishment of a division of tuber- 

 culosis in the United States Public Health Service, provided with adequate 

 funds and personnel. 



Second: That this Indigent Migratory Consumptive Committee be con- 

 tinued, with power to enlarge, for the purpose of further study, and particularly 

 for the purpose of inaugurating the proposed educational and publicity work.

 lastly, Sir William Osier, honorary vice-president from 1905 to 

 1919. After the reading of the report, Dr. Knopf made the motion 

 that the president request the audience to rise and remain stand- 

 ing in silence for a few moments in honor of the departed leaders 

 of the Association.
