DISEASE BARRED
HEALTH LAWS OF NORTH DAKO.
IA ARE STRICT IN REGARD TO
KEEPING SICK CHILDREN OUT
OF THE PUBLIC scHOoLS-THE
QUESTION AROSE IN CAPITAL
CITY.

There have been a few cases of
mumps reported among the school
clild!en of Bismarck. Those afflicted
with this disease have been motif I'd
to remain at home until they are well.
in order that none of the other schol.
ars might catch it. There seems 10
Lave been some doubt in the minds
of the parents regarding the enforce 81
absence of their children from school
and the school authorities desire to
call the attention of all such to the
following extract from the health
laws of North Dakota:
Sec. 26S-Duty of School Officials
No principal, superintendent or teach
err of any school, and no parent or
guardian of any minor child, shall per-
nit any child having scarlet fever,
diphtieria, smallpox, Whooping cough,
measles, or any other dangerous, in
!ccllous or contagious disease, or any
child residing in any house in which
such disease exists or has recently
existed, to attend any public or pri.
vate school until the local board Of
health shall have given permission
therefor.
Mumps are in the same category
as measles and whooping cough, and
therefore school children so affected
will not be permitted to enter school
until permission has been obtained
from the board of health of the city.
