Use of Nonprofessional Staff in Work with the Aged

The shortage of professional social work ers and the possibility of using nonprofes sional personnel to supplement professional services in social agencies have been receiv ing attention for some time. The Social Service Department of Washington Uni versity Clinics and Allied Hospitals, St. Louis, Missouri, developed a social work technician program in 1955, later incor porating its experiences into a training manual.1 The 1960 Arden House Seminar

Can Tuberculosis Be Eradicated?

BEFORE CONSIDERING the possibility of eradicating tuberculosis, I will attempt forestall considerable unnecessary discussion by defining three terms used a great deal in the current literature on the question of abolishing communicable diseases-eradication, elimination, and as a public health problem. Eradicate, according Webster's, is derived from the Latin eradicatuts from e, meaning out, plus radix, meaning root, thus to pluck up by the roots. As Dr. Fred L. Soper has pointed out, it might be well if we had a term. which refers destroying seeds rather than pulling up roots; however, there seems be little point in trying introduce a new term at this time. I think we may assume that when we talk about pulling a disease out by the roots, we mean destroying the seeds of infection as well. Eliminate, according the same source, comes from elim,inat/s from e, out, plus limen meaning threshold, thus to expel, exclude (or throw out the door). At the 1959 Arden House Conference on Tuberculosis, the conferees originally agreed as the objective, but at the closing session changed the word elimination, implying that they were being slightly more conservative. I said at the time, and repeatedly since tlhen, that as far as I am concerned the two terms are synonymous. There is, however, a fine point of distinction, as emphasized by Dr. Anthony M. Payne, chairman of epidemiology and public health at the Yale University School of Medicine, in his address at the opening session of the 1962 annual meeting of the American Public Health Association. He pointed out that elimination, from its derivation, obviouisly implies a certain boundary line (threshold) beyond which one has excluded the item under consideration, whereas eradication per se does not. Thus, if you toss the cat out the door, you have eliminated it from the house, but since you didn't kill the cat you have not eradicated it, and it may crawl back in. However, this distinction between eradication and is not very helpful from a practical standpoint, since in using the term elimination you have mention the boundary lines that you have in mind. Hence, you might as well use the term begin with, plus the qualifyinig designation of the area in mind. Thus elimination of smallpox from the United States is the same as of smallpox from the United States. Similarly, if you eliminate smallpox virus from every geographic area in the entire world, then you have reached the stage of of smallpox on a global scale. Of some pertinence this entire consideration is the fact that a new committee oni disease eradication was established by the epidemiology section of the American Public Health Association and held its first meeting in Miami Beach in October 1962. At the initial organizing session the committee agreed unanimously that no communicable disease could be considered be eradicated until it is eradicated from the entire world. This means not merely the absence of clinical disease but the worldwide eradication of the specific etiological agent responsible for the communicable disease in question. As as a public health problem, this is a phrase used extensively indiDr. Perkins is managing director of the National Tuberculosis Association. This paper was presented at the Science Writers Seminar on Respiratory Diseases, Princeton, N.J., November 2, 1962.

Scholarship and the Soviet Riddle

The baffling task of discerning the meaning of Russian history has long intrigued scholars, both native and foreign. For Soviet scholars Marxism provides a ready-made means of interpreting not only their own, but all, societies. For western scholars, the addition of Marxism to the centuries-old Russian traditions has simply compounded the intrinsic difficulty of coming to an understanding of this unfamiliar culture. Yet the comprehension of the Soviet Union takes on a note of urgency in view of the challenges it poses to the west at every point and in every sphere. The books under review document the fact that many specialists are seeking to comprehend Soviet society and culture, each in the light of a particular discipline and a personal viewpoint. It is equally clear that anything approaching a consensus on the nature of Soviet reality, or even on the best way to achieve an understanding of it, is very remote, to say the least. In the meantime, these studies suggest some of the many alternative ways of probing the mystery of this creative and powerful civilization. The volume edited by the historian, Cyril Black, The Transformation of Russian Society, is the work of scholars from many fields, mainly sociology, history, and political science, but with individual representatives of economics, literature, psychology, philosophy and education. At a conference at Arden House in 1958, these specialists focussed on a single, complex problem: social change in Russia in the

The disk-tine tuberculin test. (Dried tuberculin--disposable unit).

THE UNITED STATES Public Health Service and the National Tuberculosis Association invited a group of national leaders in several phases of public health and tuberculosis control to meet at Arden House in Harriman, N.Y., from Nov. 29 to Dec. 2, 1959, for a stock-taking and future-planning of tuberculosis control in the United States.1 One of the recommendations of the conference was to find a new tuberculin skin test which would be simple and accurate, and could be applied and read by nonmedical personnel. The patch and Heaf tests were considered by the conference as not meeting the above major requirements. The Mantoux test was considered efficient and reliable, but having many drawbacks, such as its requirement of a needle which presents an emotional problem and makes it necessary for a physician and nurse to test and read.

The Arden House Assembly

In the latter part of September, the American Institute of Physics held its annual Assembly of Society Officers and Meeting of the Corporate Associates at Columbia University's Arden House in Harriman, N.Y. Those present included the majority of the officers of the Institute's Member and Associate Member Societies, members of the AIP Governing Board and staff, and representatives of the Corporate Associates of the AIP, a group of industrial and other organizations which helps to support the efforts of the Institute in contributing to the advancement of physics.

The Arden House Assembly

DURING the three days from September 31 to October 2, members of the Governing Board of the American Institute of Physics and officers of all five Member Societies met with representatives of the AIP staff to consider the current status of Society-Institute relationships and to discuss the growing responsibilities of physicists in such matters as documentation, communication, and education in physics. The meeting was held at Columbia University's Arden House in Harriman, N.Y., and the greater part of one day (October 1) was given over to a considerably enlarged conference with representatives of the Institute's Corporate Associates, highlighted by a symposium on the role and training of the physicist in industry. C. Guy Suits, vice president of General Electric and chairman of the AIP Advisory Committee on Corporate Associates, presided at the symposium. Seven invited addresses, each dealing with the work of the physicist in a given area of industry, were presented on that occasion and are to appear as a group of articles in next month's issue of Physics Today.

Ten Million and One—Neurological Disability as a National Problem

This monograph summarizes the results of the Conference on Neurological Disability as a National Problem held at Arden House, Harriman, New York, in December, 1955. It was attended by more than 50 highly qualified specialists with various interests in the field who met to explore the realistic possibilities of meeting the problems posed by more than 10 million patients suffering from more than 300 clinical entities loosely grouped together as "neurologic disabilities." Neurologic disabilities are defined as those disorders which are associated demonstrably with dysfunction, disease, or injury of the nervous system, the brain, the spinal cord, and the peripheral neuromuscular connections.
