DOCTOR ADVISES
CITY SCHOOL TEACHERS
They Are Told of the Part They Are
Expected TO Take I'm Preventing
Epidemics In the Schools.

Superintendent Sterling called the
teachers of the city schools together
at the Central building last evening to
listen to a lecture by DR.. De la
Vergne, representing the newly or
ganlzed society of physicians. who
spoke on the manner in which the
physicians expected to aid the scloo.s
in preventing an epidemic of di-ease.
The physicians society was not Or
gained as a slap at the city plysi-
clan nor the city b0ald of heath. IT
was purely a voluntary movement
started by the doctors for the purpos e
OF aiding these two depaI tments and
the city school board in prevent ng
the prevalence of diseases in the
schools. While the situation Is MT
serious, Superintendent Sterling said
this morning that there was qu tie a
sprinkling of malignant diseas, $
among the school children, especia ly
in the Second ward, out 1t was nos
serious enough to warrant the clos
ing of the schools. The cases VIII ch
have developed have all been quaran-
tined and rigid precautions are being
taken to prevent further spread OF
the diseases. The assistance which
has been offered by the physicians
nsuTes against further spread. The
doctors will visit the various wards
twice a week. All pupils will be in
spected and If any of the conta yiOu5
diseases are evident the child will be
sent home and not permitted TO re-
turn to sch oil until IL can br ng a
certificate from the family p'ysioia
showing II TO be in good health. The
teachers are TO cooperate with the
physicians inasmuch as they can
watch the children closely for symp-
toms of disease. The inspection will
begin at once but 1t Is believed that
il will not be necessary to continue
