A NEEDED PRECAUTION

The specter Disease IS ever abroad in any city seeking its victims. And, needless to say, 1t in1s ample field in which to make its yearly iaya~es. But it's best field is in the communities witl' poor sanitation and devoid of necessary measures to protect the health of the public against the evils arising from foul air, lack of sunshine, improper disposition of refuse ma terial, and exposure to contagious ma!adies.
 It,is deplorable for grown people to expose themselves to infection from any of these sources. But it is far more regrettabe for peo pie to fail to protect children from the contract ing of serious ailments. The epidemics that sweep through any city from time to time can nearly always be traced to some cause that might easily have been eliminated, had it been detected in time. But, no! The epidemic is allowed to start It's inroads are cumulative for a time, before the measures taken are of any avail in checking them And then, after the business of the doctor, the undertaken and the marker of caskets has been materially augment ed for few weeks, hundreds of bereaved peo- pie join in lamentable chorus, the burden of which is ''If we had only known!'
 The most fertile field for spreading of direase is a public school There hundreds of children are assembled, usually in congested quarters The bodies of these children being immature are far more subject to infection with disease than are those of adults. Plainly, then, the duty of any city administration is to make sure that every possible measure is taken to protect the school children from exposure to contagious disease
 The most effective precaution that can be adopted is to insist that the janitors of the diff ferent school buildings shall thoroughly dsin- feet the classrooms daily. To do this work in fairly suitable way would be no very formidable task. And then, if the rooms are thrown open and thoroughly aired each morning before the pupils enter them, fresh air and disinfection, two of the greatest foes of disease, will be pitted against the possibility of contagion in our schools And the time to do this is now, before an epidemic of mortal disease saddens the homes of Globe
