DIR. Woodward said that one of the chill
dren had been away in Virginia and had
slept in bed with another child who
had recovered from the disease. 1t may
be that the disease was communicated to
the Washington child in that manner.
DR.. Woodward was asked about a quar-
paralysis.
"a quarantine could be established, but
under existing conditions it would be hard
to maintain" he said. ut would be a
quarantine OF the kind used in typhoid
fever, and to see that it is strictly MAIN
tained inspectors would have to be in the
houses with the cases almost constantly.
The patients would have to be watched
carefully, as well as those in attendance
upon them. and there would have to be
constant burning and destroying Of things
from the sick room.
"At present there is no isolating ward
in any hospital that can be used for in

Principal among the defects noted by
the inspectors is the old-fashioned brick
