446 A HISTORY OF NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION 



Dr. Frankel, however, has not limited his activities to the pre- 

 vention of tuberculosis alone. He is an honorary member of the 

 American Social Hygiene Association, a member of the General 

 Committee of the Child Health Organization, and a director of the 

 American Public Health Association, which body has honored 

 him with the position of treasurer and president. He is the dele- 

 gate from the American Public Health Association to the Na- 

 tional Health Council, of which he is chairman, and in 1917 he 

 was president of the New York Conference of Charities and 

 Correction. He is also intensely interested in public health nurs- 

 ing, and originated and organized the visiting nurse service of the 

 Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. 



Dr. Frankel's reputation as a welfare worker is indeed national, 

 if not international, and the United States Government has rec- 

 ognized his experience and authority. In spite of his multiple 

 duties as the head of the Welfare Department of the Metro- 

 politan Life Insurance Company, of which he is now the third 

 vice-president, he accepted without pay the big contract of 

 organizing a welfare department of the United States Post-Office. 

 His official title is Welfare Director of the United States Post- 

 Office Department, and the Government and former Postmaster 

 General Hays may well be congratulated on having secured the 

 services of so able a man.
