| Title |
Containing and Preventing Contagious Disease: Montreal’s Protestant School Board and Tuberculosis, 1900-1947
|
| Abstract |
Montreal was considered the unhealthiest city in Canada at the turn of the twentieth century owing to widespread poverty, abysmal living conditions, inadequate public health, and a dependence upon private charities to provide health and welfare services. The author argues that while Montreal’s Protestant School Board assumed a pivotal role in the war on tuberculosis by early detection of consumptive pupils, by educating those in treatment, and by prevention, these initiatives were tempered by a conservative view that equated poverty with moral degeneration.
