The question Of separate wardrobes for
the use of public school pupils is now con-
sidered to be one of the valuable agents
IN preventing infection among school chill
dren. In the last report of the director of
physical training for the Washington pub
lie schools. an attempt in that city to sep
arate outer wraps i'll the cloak room is
board partition eight inches
IN depth entirely separates the clothing of
one child from that of his neighbor This
found 81 irlb Ne
ana satisfactory. since it accomDliSheS the
purpose of complete isolation with fair
amount Of ventilation. 1t was commented
upon by the person submitting the report
that an investigation of the subject
showed an inability to find in any city
that separated wardrobes were in use in
lower grade schools. This subject is en-
phaSized by a recent occurrence in II New
YORK school where Il little girl in attend
ance developed a case of ringworm of the
scalp. which was undoubtedly contracted
from contact at school with the hat of
measures were taken: the cap was
burned. the childs hair was cut off and
second cap provided was sewed first
with thin muslin that was constantly re-
newed. At school the childrens wraps
We're kept in a separate parcel quite away
from the other childrens. This care and
isolation controlled the trouble. and it
was evident that had the same care been
exercised in the case of the first promoter
of the Infection that the second child
would not have fallen Il victim to it. The
children's wraps in the school where the
trouble occurred are often piled one on
the other because of the crowded conii-
ton of the WardrObeS. and always hang
so close that any sort of parasite or con-
tagiouS skin disease can be easily COM
prompt practical reform is much needed
