STUDY DISEASES.
The Physicians to Investigate
Sources by Examination Of
the School Children
In THREE OF THE BUILDINGS
In Addition Pupils Thought to Have
Been Exposed Are Examined
Quarantine Being Raised.

A corps of physicians of the city to-
day began systematic inspection and
study of the scarlet fever epidemic
the three school buildings OF
the Sixth and Seventh wards, the Eu-
gene Field, Horace Mann and Long
fellow schools. The plan is to have
the physicians, two of whom have been
assigned TO each of these buildings,
take such measures as they deem fiji %
make study of the epidemic. and to
determine the ACCESSIBILITY of having
all school children examined by physi-
clans at regular periods while attend
ing school. as a means of preventing p
spread of the contagion. In addition
to this investigation in the two con-
trasting wards of the city, physicians
will examine children in other schools
who are believed by the authorities to
have been exposed to the disease.
Not Among Children.
The health authorities, from the sta
tistics of the epidemic in Rock Island
at the present time. have concluded
that the diseases are not being spread
through the medium of the public
schools, as the number of cases among
children of school age is more than 20
per cent lower than is usual in such
epidemics. The authorities are con
WINGED from the statistics that scarlet
fever and diphtheria are not origina
ting from exposure of children, but are
being contracted by adults from other
sources.
Quarantine is Raised.
The quarantine is being raised daily
on a number of homes where either
scarlet fever or diphtheria have eX
listed. and the number released from
quarantine is keeping pace with the
number of new cases reported. Amona
the new cases reported, several are il
families where other members of the
family have already been afflicted dur
ing this epidemic. There were three
cases of scarlet fever and one of diph
liberia reported today. and one case o
scarlet fever was reported Saturday.
