The profuse caution through the HERALD
against diphtheria appears to cause undue
alarm. There are not many cases in Lancas-
ter and as yet no bad ones 1t is diseas e
that calls for the greatest precautions but
with the use of the necessary precaution there
need not be fear When childreR who have
had diphtheria are forbidden presence at the
schools the propriety Of keeping those who
are IN health away is doubtful When the
weather is bad or changeable, the streets
filthy and all sorts of people coming and go>
| ing, the school room may be healthier place
for children than cat large" The majority
OF nearly all the new cases in Lancas ter are
among children kept out of school for safety.
True, parents can keep their children entirely
away from con.agion, bnt keeping them away
from school and then letting them run,
will not do that. The mother who keeps them
home for safety would be a good mother if
she would also keep them up with their classes
in their studies. If all the people in town
would observe the rules of the State Board OF
Health there would be no diphtheria. II some
neglect these rules and take the disease 9th
ers may get it by eontagion. Would it not
be well to have city Board of Health to en-.
force those rules?
