WAUKEGAN PLAN SURVEY OF FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS Illinois Department of Health to Test Efficiency of 16 County Sanitariums Are the sixteen public county tuber- culosis sanitariums in Illinois doing their stuff? Which ones are the best and why? Are the beds full of pa- tients or not? What type of tuber- culosis patients are being treated and how successful is the service in cur- ing the sick and protecting the healthy? Answers to these pertinent questions concerning the state's two million dollar per year venture in san- itarium maintenance will soon be forthcoming as a result of a survey now in progress under the direction of Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director. : "Forty-seven counties are collecting in taxes close to $2,000,000 annually for waging war on tuberculosis," said Dr. Rawlings. "In Adams, Champaign, Cook, DeKalb, Kane, LaSalle, Livings- ton, McDonough, McLean, Macon, Madison, Morgan, Tazewell, Will, Win- nebago and Woodford, public sanitar- iums are operating. The other 31 coun- ties use funds collected through tax levies for providing tuberculosis cit- izens with sanitarium care in institu- tions not their own. Make Efficiency Rating "The survey now in progress has been undertaken in order to show the efficiency of the county sanitariums now operating. A personal investiga- tion of prevailing conditions will be made of each. Observation of every important factor in the operation of a sanitarium will be made and a rat- ing given to each. The result will be an efficiency score or rating, based upon 100 points, that will show at a glance the comparative standing of each institution. "The character of the medical and nursing service is the most important item in the survey schedule. A per- fect rating on this item gives 60 points on the score sheet. The number and amount of specialized training of the medical and nursing staffs, the man- ner in which they examine and man- age patients and the sort of records they keep determine the rating. Comprehensive Survey "Other items embraced in the schedule are administration, which is valued at 20 points in a perfect score; plant and equipment, 10 points; field service of a public health character in the county, 6 points; location of san- itarium, 4 points. Information con- cerning the number of patients handled last year, the number now in the san- itariums, the number of incipient and advanced patients, the per capita cost and the results of treatment for each patient will also be collected. "The results of this inquiry will show to the public and to the sanitar- ium boards the good and bad points in the operation of the 16 county san- itariums. They will be helpful to others in selecting sanitariums for pay patients and they will be invaluable as a guide to forming new policies and new activities in sanitarium oper- ation. "The battle against tuberculosis is tightening all along the line. Progress against the disease grows harder each vear as the more obvious channels of spreading are dried up. The public sanitarium is a very important factor in the fight when it operates at its best." CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE "Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, de- nounced," will be the subject of the services Sunday, May 27, at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Win- netka.
