SHOULD PROTECT
 SCHOOL CHILDREN Dr. Nelson Asks Assistance in Preventing Disease EXPLAINS THE SYSTEM The Health Officer Calls on Family Physicians and Parents to Aid
 Health Department in Pre-
 venting Epidemics

Dr. Robert Nelson, health officer of Birmingham. issued a statement yester- day requesting the assistance of the heads Of families in Birmingham and the family physicians in an effort to so regulate the school children as to do away With chances for the spread of contagous dis eases. In his statement Dr. Nelson says that when school children show traces of any communicable disease. although seemingly healthy. they should be sent home until they are perfectly free of the germs shown upon examination. He says that it has frequently happened that ex- aminations have been made by family physicians and statements made tending to dispute examinations made by the health authorities. His statement, stir ring appeal for cooperative methods. fol- Jews:
 At the opening of schools for the past few years there has been a thorough med ical inspection of all school children in the various grades, the inspection being conducted by competent practicing phy- sicians for the purpose of ascertaining the existence of any cases of contagious diseases and of any children who might be a source of infection to other chill dIen.
 Among ether conditions looked for are the so called chronic diphtheria carriers These are children whose throats or ton sils show some deviation from the normal and cultures from their threats show under the microscope the presence of diphtheria baccilli. There is definite proof adducble to show that these children, al- though apparently perfectly well (and they do feel well, run, play, etc.), can communicate the disease to other chil- dien, particularly in a schoolroom in which they are more or less closely con- fined.
 Tt is nfinitly better to quarantine from 20 to 30 children for a period of few weeks or months or until the throats arc freed from the diphtheria germs than to run the risk of school epidemic by allowing them to go to school. FThe pa rents of some of these children, who are so unfortunate as to be chronic car riers, have manifested great deal of and uncharita bleness in this matter, believing, apparently, that the health department is exercising it's authority in the prevention of disease in a perfectly arbitrary. unreasonable and unjust manner Appeal is made to the family physicians to render the health de- rartment their assistance by way of ex- plaining the reasons for it's action. There have been a number of instances in which the head of the family has rep resented to the health department that his family physician has upon examination Of tie child presumably without taking cuture) denied emphaticaly the exis- tepce of any danger to other children on the part of the child under quarantine. It is believed that this is done thoughtless- ly, and that it is the desire of the family physician to cooperate in every way with the health department in its efforts to prevent the spread of contagious disease"

It is evident that the local association, as has been stated in The Age-Herald' Intends to open next season with new faces scattered all around the field. IL IS said that Bill McGilvray Is to go, in spite of the fact that it is admitted that he, together with Phelan, did he bulk Of Bir- minghams offensive work in the season just closed. But 1t is said that Bill has been too long in Birmingham. and that he desires to play in the west.
 Marcan is another who will in all prob ability be missing next spring. Marcan has been in Birmingham. too. for long time: he wants to play near his people in the west and the fans here would not be Ioathe to signing a second base man who can hit harder than Marcan. Phelan as is known, will not return. and 1t is probable that Ellam. alone of last seasons inner workers, will be on the scene when hostilties open in April, 1912 No second baseman has been signed as yet. but three youngsters have been land ed for short and third.
