Disease in the Schools.

More than 100000 children OF school
age are annually laid PROSTATE by the
three preventable diseases of diphtheria,
tuberculosis and scarlet fever, and 10000
of these illnesses terminate fatally. In
diphtheria and scarlet fever, the infection
generally passes from pupil to pupil in the
early stage of the disease, which only
medical inspection can detect.
How widespread may be the infection
resulting from the presence of one source
of contagion is forcibly demonstrated by
an occurrence in a school at Millgrove,
O., where a boy with incipient measles in
fected every member of the school, in
Guiding the teacher, as that they all fell
sick within ten days. If discovered early
the sick are not only prevented from in
fecting the well, but are, in most cases,
easily cured. In one year about 700 pu
pills with diphtheria, scarlet fever and tu
berculosis were found attending the
schools of Massachusetts,. During the
same period several thousand children
with other contagious diseases such as
measles. humps, grippe, and syphilis were
excluded from these schools in the interest
of health. There can be no doubt that
the early discovery of these ailments pre-
vented them from injecting hundreds of
other children. Over $4,000 cases of con
tagous eye diseases were found in the
New York City schools in one year, and
$1,000 other children were excluded for
various transmissible ailments ranging
from diphtheria to whooping-cough. In
about 10000 of the school
attendants during the year are excluded
at some time, because of diseases which
menace the health of thir associates

forced inactivity of his mine and IA

Halliday, the agitator, glared dan

threats against my friend to one of his
companions.
The climax of the strike came the
following day when one of the trains
was derailed and the fireman and en-

investigated their complaints and con-
sidered their demands and had found
that there was virtue in neither, but
that both were inspired by labor
agitators who saw chance to advance
their own selfish interests by bringing
about difficulty between the road and
it's employees The demands had been
refused and the men had gone out on
strike.
Majors had come up from the ranks
himself and had every sympathy for
the men until he had convinced him.

convinced on this point, he had bowed
his neck and refused to treat with
them further unless they returned to
work Internationally. The men knew
his determined character and they
realized that he meant just what he
had said. l believe they would have
discontinued the strike, so popular
was Majors with the men and so we'll
