SCHOOLS AND EPlDEMIcS.
Pupils as n Factor In Spreading In
feetious Diseases.

The reassertion of the theory of school
influence as an active factor in the
spread of infectious disease which has
lately been made makes it desirable 10
inquire under what circumstances "clo-
sure" should be employed. All seems to
depend upon whether the assembly of the
children in the school in question is the
main cause by which the disease is being
disseminated. In country district, FOX
example. with sparsely scattered popu.
lation, where children rarely meet except
in school, closing the schools at the com
mencement of an epidemic may effectual-
ly check its course, each infected center
working out its own salvation indcpend-
entity, and the one link between the diff
ferent parts OF the district being for the
time broken.
Again, it may be discovered that in
consequence OF defective drains or other
insanitary arrangements the school is
itself actually n cause Of disease, or at
least that its condition fayors the spread
of infection among those who attend its
classes. and in such a case the school
should certainly be closed while the nec-
essary repairs and reconstructions are be
ing carried out.
But apart from these two circum-
stances it must very rarely happen that
it is justifiabie to close n school and thus
break into the educational progress Of
the scholars merely because large num-
Der of them happen to be attacked by an
epidemic, for when an epidemic has OBJ
tanned complete hold in populous dis
trict the school is but one of dozen
ways in which infection is being spread,
and 1t may be far better to keep the
school open and thus insure the continu-
ance of that regularity and orderliness of
life which attendance at school involves
than by closure TO throw oil the children
to play together in the streets or to hud.
die together in their homes.
1t must always be remembered that the
part played by schools in spreading infec'
ton is proportiouatcly greater in the
country than in towns. since in the coun.
try it is practically in the schools alone
that children from different homes come
in contact with each other, while in
towns the schools are only one out OF
many centers from which infection may
radate.-Hespital.
