16 Commission Report: Tuberculosis. 
Therefore it is the sense of this committee that every possible 
means should be employed for educating the cattle owners and the 
general public concerning the nature of tuberculosis; the care and 
precautions necessary to prevent its entrance into herds already 
free from the disease; and in methods for its eradication from 
herds where it now exists. 
Further, this committee approves of the following methods for 
instructing laymen, practicing veterinarians, practitioners of hu- 
man medicine and health officers in the nature and control of 
bovine tuberculosis, namely: 
1. By the publication in agricultural and dairy papers of short 
accurately and carefully prepared articles on bovine tuberculosis. 
2. By publication of appropriate articles on bovine tuber- 
culosis in veterinary, medical and sanitary papers and journals. 
3. By recommending to agricultural societies, granges and di- 
rectors of farmers’ institutes and unions and especially those 
interested in creameries and cheese factories that lectures on 
bovine tuberculosis, its nature and control, be made a part of their 
programs and that so far as practicable, demonstrations be held. 
4. That those having in charge the arrangement of town, 
county and state fairs be requested to provide lectures on bovine 
tuberculosts, and if practicable to hold public demonstrations, at 
their annual meetings. 
5. By placing a copy of the report of the commission in the 
hands of the deans or directors of all veterinary and medical 
colleges and schools of sanitary science in the United States and 
Canada with recommendations that special emphasis be placed 
in their’ courses of instruction on the nature of bovine tuber- 
culosis and methods for its control. 3

losis and methods for its control should be written in language
