UTILIZING THE WORK OF OUR INTERNATIONAL COMMIS¬ 
SION ON CONTROL OF BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS. 
By M. H. Reynolds, St. Paul, Minn., Secretary International Com¬ 
mission. 
The writer has been constantly impressed with the feeling 
that the work of the International Commission on Control of 
Bovine Tuberculosis, and the work of such bodies as the British 
Royal Commission should be utilized to vastly greater effect than 
they will or can be in the absence of some special organized effort. 
The commission has furnished certain educational material 
which has been accepted in this country as carefully stated and 
reliable, and this material is now freely available for distribution. 
There is great need and magnificent opportunity for educa¬ 
tional work everywhere. We have too many states that are with¬ 
out even adequate sanitary control legislation or organization. 
It is self-evident that effective work with bovine tuberculosis is 
impossible in such states. 
What can the United States Association of Live Stock Sani¬ 
tary Boards or any similar body do for this need—how utilize 
this opportunity? This is a question we ought to consider care¬ 
fully during the coming year. Certainly no very effective work 
can be done without organization and plan and unselfish service 
by those interested in the task. 
J 
Whether this should be done by the American Veterinary 
Medical Association or the United States Association of Live 
Stock Sanitary Boards, may be a debatable question. 
An active campaign on a large scale would naturally include 
'educational work through agricultural colleges, farmers’ insti¬ 
tutes, veterinary schools, veterinary associations, agricultural 
press, etc.
