culosis. These are mostly skin
tests, but they proved either in-
accurate or dangerous. Only
two methods of determining tub-
erculosis were reliable. One was
the culture method, which neces-
sitated laboratory examination of
cultures taken from a patient
suspected of tuberculosis. The
other was the X-ray. Both neces-
sitated extensive and expert me-
chanical techniques and expen-
sive equipment. In addition, they
did not provide a rapid method
for mass testing.
What was needed, Dr. Corper
decided, was a really effective
skin test, one which, if need be,
even a child could apply to him-
self. He sought a test which
could be used for every living
person no matter where he lived.
His objective was a material
and a technique for its applica-
tion which would enable visiting
nurses or physicians to go into
a school, or a factory, a farm,
a home, a big city or a rural
district and determine easily and
accurately who had or did not
have tuberculosis, who was or
was not susceptible to the dis-
ease. If a positive reaction was
secured, there could then be a
final check through X-rays and
culture tests.
The most important phase of
the whole program was the abil-
ity to do the testing quickly and
easily. This goal has been
reached through the "transder-
mal antolytic tuberculin" recent-
ly developed in the laboratories
of the National Jewish Hospital
by Dr. Corper and Dr. Maurice
L. Cohn, Research Chemist.
Scientists like Dr. Corper do
not live in ivory towers remote
from the real and often discour-
aging facts of life. The new
tuberculosis test provides a great
safeguard to the health of all
peoples. But neither Dr. Corper
nor the hospital believe that
their task is finished. The search
for a definite preventive of tub-
erculosis goes on daily at N.J.H.
It is hoped ultimately to be able
to immunize people against tub-
erculosis in the same way that
they are now protected against
small pox and other cantageous
diseases. It is toward this end
that Dr. Corper and his staff
have been working for many
years and will continue to de-
vote their scientific skills.
Victory over the totalitarian
powers is no longer a dream.
Because of the tenacious fight
of the United Nations those who
considered themselves invincible
and destined to rule the universe
will soon dissolve into a disor-
dered, helpless and defeated mob.
The fight against tuberculosis
must be equally tenacious. Only
through uncompromising and un-

the hour and the voice of God,
has decided to go forward with
the development of the largest
and most comprehensive nation-
al youth program in the history
of the American Jewish com-
munity.
As has been pointed out, the
war job of the American Jewish
community will not end with the
unconditional surrender of our
enemies. That may happen, God
willing, this year or next, but
whenever it occurs it will merely
be the signal for a new call to
re-form our lives and marshall
out forces for a new assault on
the most considerable problem
that ever faced the Jews of the
world.
For us remains the task of
somehow bringing order out of
the chaotic lives and fortunes
of millions of our fellow Jews
in Central and Eastern Europe,
as well as for those who have
been driven to the far corners
of the world.
This is a job as "all out" as
the war itself. It will require
many, many years of work and
demand the full participation of
our entire Jewish population. It
calls for a program requiring
courage, understanding, vision,
daring, boundless energy, dynam-
ic enthusiasm and loyal partici-
pation.
'To train and develop a reser-
voir of young Jewish leaders,
possessing these attributes, is a
fundamental objective of the
Bnai Brith Youth Organization.
Born during a terrible depres-
sion and nurtured on the most
horrible conflict in the history
of mankind, the present genera-
tion of youth possesses a stamina
and a determination which must
fortify our present generation of
leaders who are weary of the
toil and struggles and disappoint-
ments of the past two decades.
Our present generation of
youth has a primary loyalty to
the things for which this war
is being fought and the sacri-
fices required for the post-war
reconstruction seem a small
enough price for the achieve-
ment of a normalcy that they
have never known.
