GUARDING AGAINST
CONTAGION
Four Gases of Diphtheria in the Second
Ward,

There are four cases of dIphtheria in
the second ward and the disease is be-
ginning to interfere considerably with
the attendance at school. Borough Sup
erintendent L. l.. Gordy assisted by the
principal and teachers is taking every
precaution to prevent the spread of the
disease lest an epidemic ensue similar to
what the town of northumberland has
experienced, which necessitated the
closing of the schools, places of wor-
ship, &c.
In dealing with the children from in
fected families Superintendent Gordy is
being governed by the School law, which
provides for their exclusion from school
for a period Of thirty days after recovery
and disinfection.
4 circumstance, which leads TO EN-
barrassment and often to a misunder-
standing with the parent, Professor
Gordy says, is the fact that the attend
ing physician in furnishing pupils with
certificates setting forth their recovery
and removal from danger of contagion
is apt to be inhncnr"l hy his own iudg-
ment and not the school law. II j. not an
unheard of thing for the pupil to reap

question the judgment of the attending
physicians, who undoubtedly know
their business. Granting that week
or ten days are sufficient, yet the fact
remains that the school law has adopt
ed wider margin of safety.
Section seventy-three of the school
laws and decisions of Pennsylvania very
plainly sets forth what is required Of the
scaool principals in the premises. 1t
says:
No child or other person belonging to
or residing with the family of any per
son or residing in the same house
in which any person may be To-
Gated who is suffering from small poX
varola or varioloid, scarlet or typhus

days" following the discharge by recov-
cry or death of the person last afflicted
in said house or family and the thorough
