CONTAGON CARELESSNESS.

Indifference In ID ealing With Disc asses
That Are Likely TO spread The
Law on the Subject.
Considerable complaint is heard con-
corning the carelessness that is displayed
by parents, and in some instances by
physicians who have contagious diseases
under their control. Children having
had, or been in contact with others hav>
ing ailments which come under this head
are permitted to go out and mingle with
others sooner than they ought to, thus
]eopardizing all others they come in con,
tact with.
The sanitary law of the city on this
subject is plain and should be
known. 1t provides that in cases
of diphtheria. scarlet fever or small
pox, it becomes the duty of the physi
clan discovering such disease to report it
as soon as it appears to the city clerk,
who in turn must at once notify the city
superintendent of schools 1t then be-
comes the latter officials duty to advise
the schools n the neighborhood of the
location and existence of the disease, and
all pupils who are members of that family
are forbidden from entering the public
schools until they present to their teacher
a certificate from the city clerk that the
danger is over.
| 1t is this provision of sanitary regula>
ton that is most apt to be neglected, and
while children once exposed to the ills
specified are not able to get back into
school where the proper precautions are
observed. they get out among other chill
dren and are quite likely to spread con,
tagion. Physicians exhibit disregard fol-
the law by writing notes to the teach
ers THAT pupils, after being exposed
may be admitted to the schools, wherea:
the note should be addressed toeshe city
clerk, from which source only is the
teacher expected to honor a request fol
readmission. The teacher must look tt
the city clerk for notice, and the city
clerk must look to the physician who ad
vised him of the existence Of the disease,
to declare that it has disappeared ant
that danger has passed.
A great deal of recklessness is ais
shown in removing warning cards from
houses without the authority OF the at
tending physician. The health depart
ment of the city cannot be too stringen
in the enforcement Of the sanitary law.
and physicians should scquaint them
selves as to how much is expected an
required of them.
