474 A HISTORY OF NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION 



Reports December 2, 1921. Chief among the scientific articles 

 offered for publication by Service officers is a report of two years' 

 research carried out at Hospital No. 41, New Haven, Conn. 

 This monograph, "Small Pneumothorax in Tuberculosis," by 

 Surgeons (Reserve) Nathan Barlow and James C. Thompson, is 

 being published as a bulletin of the Hygienic Laboratory. 



Valuable cooperation has been constantly received from the 

 National Tuberculosis Association, whose Advisory Committee 

 outlined measures which were immediately included in the ob- 

 jectives. An expert in construction, Mr. T. B. Kidner, col- 

 laborated in the preparation of standard hospital plans, a report 

 of which appeared in Public Health Reports June 17, 1921. A 

 number of specialists consented to inspect the tuberculosis hos- 

 pitals and the Supervisor of Medical Service, National Tubercu- 

 losis Association, also makes inspections from time to time at the 

 request of the Surgeon General. The recommendations made 

 by these highly trained men have been of very great assistance 

 in providing proper standards of sanatorium treatment. A 

 large number of well-known members of the Association assisted 

 in conducting training courses in the field. It is regretted that 

 the space here available is insufficient to give the desired credit 

 to the individual members.
