FOR THE SCHOOL CHILD
How Disease Injection is Pre-.
vented in Rhode Island
Schools.

In Rhode Island there are rigid
laws in respect to cleanliness in the
public schools, and these laws are
strictly enforced. AS a result, there
is less disease infection and fewer
epidem les in the schools of the little
state, than in any other in the union.
In order to make it more easily posi-
BILE to inforce the.lawS of cleanliness
in respect to children, the Board OF
Health of that state issued rules,
during the ummer. to every parent
whose name could be ascertained.
These rules were suggestions for in
struction to the child at home, tend.
ing tokeep the child from the habit OF
doing those things which aid in disease
Infection. Here are the rules, which
are good for any parent to live up to
in the instruction of his child, eSpe.
cially in its younger school days.
Don't put pencils in your mouth Oh
moSiten the point with your lips.
Don't put your fingers in your
mouth.
Don't wet the fingers in turning
the pages Of book.
Don't put money into the mouth.
Don't trade candy that has been
bitten, apple cores, chewing gum,
whistles or anything that can be put
in the mouth.
Don't forget to keep your hands
clean. Wash the face often, as there
is less chance of infection, in cases
where child is coming down with
some disease, if the parts around the
nose and mouth are kept free from
secretionS.
Don't spit on a slate.
Don't borrow or leld Aandkerchiefs
mufflers or hats,
By following these rules much OF
the contagious sickness in public
schools can be avoided.
