Note on Typhoid Fever.

The bimonthly bulletin of the State
Board of Health which recently made
its appearance contains the following
statement concerning typhoid fever:
The prevention and the lessening
of the prevalence of typhoid fever is
one of the most important problems
which is before public health workers.
The specific cause of the disease has
been so we'll studied. the means
through which II is spread are so well
known, and the practicability of cut
ting down the death rate from typhoid
fever has been so clearly shown in
many places that public sentiment
supported by local governments should
demand more efficient work in freeing
ourselves from the disease of 'des-
tructive civilization as Prof. Sedg
wick of the Massachusetts, school Of
Technology has called it"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-12-11

Since the total valuation of all
school buildings is said to be nine
millions of dollars and in view of the
fact that the school population is not
increasing so rapidly as to require a
large number of new buildings for ex-
pansion, it is evident that very
large proportion of the foregoing ex-
penditures was to replace old and un-
fit buildings with new structures.
For9the year covered by the report,
902 school buildings were reported by
the superintendent as not being in
good condition" While that des-
cription is sufficiently elastic to cover
a wide range of personal opinion it
may be taken as fair reflection of
average opinion and fair judgment.
1t is claimed that the law of 1909
providing for the approval of plans
for school houses and for the pro-
vision of plans for small buildings
without cost to towns has resulted in
the establishment of good standards
of construction. The report suggests
that at an opportune time further
legislation might we'll deal with those
older buildings that are no longer At
for the occupancy of children. Com
menting on this point, the report
says:
There is small advantage in an ed
ucational program that considers sole
~ intellectual or mental training and
leaves out Of the account the right Of
the child to sound physical health.
School houses that are so faulty In
lighting, ventilation or sanitation as
to endanger the physical welfare Of
the children who attend them should
be speedily improved or replaced"
