454 A HISTORY OF NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION 



Dr. Hoffman's contributions to statistical science are numerous. 

 His first article was on the Vital Statistics of the Negro, published 

 in the Arena of Boston, and his first book was "The Race Traits 

 and Tendencies of the American Negro." Dr. Hoffman is an 

 ardent American patriot, and during the recent world war was 

 one of the most active members of the American Friends of Ger- 

 man Democracy, a fact which was recorded in Mr. Creel's book, 

 prefaced by Mr. Baker, Secretary of War. In his busy life Dr. 

 Hoffman has found time and opportunity to devote much of his 

 energy to the anti-tuberculosis cause in the United States. 

 Twenty-four most important contributions on the various phases 

 of tuberculosis are the product of his fertile pen.
