Under the Finance Act of 1911 a sum of about $500,000 was especially appropriated for providing what are known as "Sanatorium Schools" for children suffering from pulmonary or surgical tuberculosis. These schools are known as the Residential Open Air Schools of Recovery, and the need of such schools for children requiring more continuous care than is provided at a day Open Air School is becoming widely recognized. Many children of the type already mentioned can not be satisfactorily treated unless they can be taken completely away, for a time, from their home environment. Such treatment as is needed for many of these children is not and can not be offered in the ordinary hospital and certainly not at their homes. The designs and arrangements of the Residential Open Air School of Recovery are very attractive. They are well equipped to fulfill their function. The children, received between the ages of seven and twelve years, are those suffering from anaemia, debility, or slight heart lesions. Cases of active tuberculosis are barred. No child is received for a shorter period than three months, and this period may be prolonged on the recommendation of the Medical Officer. The children rise at 7 a. m. and retire at 6:30 p. m. Those who are able, make their own beds and do some of the domestic work. The diet is liberal, with abundance of milk and eggs. Careful attention is given to inculcating habits of personal and general hygiene. All children receive a daily bath. Careful attention is paid to the teeth, tonsils and adenoids. All these conditions must be attended to before admission. Beyond this, very little treatment is given. Children are weighed once in two weeks. Instruction is chiefly practical. Instruction in gardening is given twice a week and other occupations taught are raffia work, plasticine modeling, cardboard modeling, brush work and needle work. The number of Open Air Schools at present in England is at least thirty-five, with an attendance of at least 2,500. Forty-two other cities are listed as carrying on some form of open air education. * * * * * In the United States the Open Air School movement, from its inception, has been closely connected with the general anti-tuberculosis movement.
