SCHOOLS AND SICKNESS
Is 1t Best to Close Public Schools Dur
 ing Epidemics?

Is 1t Best to Close Public Schools Dur
 ing Epidemics?
 Doubt as to the wisdom of closing schools in epidemics of contagious dis ease is expressed by Dr. Francis George Curtis, of Newton, Mass, in bulletin on the "Health of School Children" just issued by the Bureau of Education. He says: eff the schools are closed when an outbreak occurs, the children are turned loose from supervision; they mingle freely with one another in the streets. on playgrounds, and in each others houses. They are having an extra vacation and enjoying themselves thoroughly and are unwilling to admit that they feel ill, lest they be kept at home and prevented from having a good time. For this reason they will not say they feel ill until the disease is we'll advanced, and they may be active sources of infection for some- time before it is discovered that they are ill.
 Eff the schools are kept open and the children continue in the class rooms as usual, they are under strict observation and examined daily by the school physician, suspicious and infected cases being sent home for observation or treatment.
 ''In this way many children are sent home before they have had an oppor- tunity to infect others, thus reducing the probability of spreading infection. Further than this, the attention of the parents is called to the fact that the child is feeling ill and he is brought under treatment earlier.
 ''It seems, therefore, that keeping the schools open offers the best chance of safety for the pupils, both collec- lively and individually.
 "Instead of closing the schools and allowing the children to be scattered and removed from supervision, when an outbreak appears the schools should be kept open as usual and the children urged to attend. The school physician and nurse should be detailed to the school where the outbreak has appeared and instructed to examine every child daily, excluding such as appear ill or suspicious. This can be done with very little disturbance of the school work. A note must be sent to the parent stating that the child seems, or is i'll, and must be seen by the family physician. Suspicious cases must be ordered to remain at home until further notice and, if necessary, must be visited in order to settle the diagnosis. Ab- sentees must be rounded up and ex- amined in order to find out why they have been kept at home. If they are i'll, they must be isolated, and, if well, urged to return to school"
 This, of course, applies to schools in which school physicians, or nurses, or both are employed. In view of the ar engagement recently effected between the Canaan school board and the Ca naan Visiting Nurse Association, it would seem to be applicable here.

Aren't the women of Connecticut doing their duty by their state? Why should the added burden of the ballot be thrust upon them? Why should
 they be forced to do mems work as well as their own? The women are making the homes and bearing and rearing the children-the greatest and most funda- mental service to the state. Women are teaching thousands of children in the schools of Connecticut. Women are nursing the sick, caring for the aged and the orphans, sewing for the desti- tute and visiting the poor and afflicted.
 They have started many philanthropic and charitable undertakings and are giving time, strength and money to carry them on successfully. All these

SUFFRAGE--PR0 AND CON
Pro-.


 Now that legislative work is at ap end for this session Miss Emily Pier son, Miss Aiyse Gregory and Miss Isbella Sanders are going into New Jersey to help in the campaigning there. New Jersey holds the popular vote on woman suffrage in September, and is therefore considered the most important of the four campaign states which are to vote this fall. It is for this reason that all three organizers are going into New Jersey. Massachusetts has sent to Connecticut for another kind of assistance. It has asked the State Association to lend it's press chairman for long enough to enable Massachusetts suffragists to organize the regular press work in similar way to the suffrage press work of this state. Circumstances in Massachusetts are much like those of Connecticut-espe- cially outside of Boston, where the press work offers different problems; but so far the papers in the small towns of Massachusett tts have not got into the habit of printing suffrage news in the way in which it is taken and printed by most of the papers of Connecticut. AS woman suffrage is a more immediate issue in Massachusetts than in Con- necticut-the vote being taken in No
 vember-it is felt that the editors would gladly print the news if it were supplied to them in convenient form.

things and many others the women of Connecticut have done and are doing for their state. The majority of them feel that this is enough and that no more should be asked of them; that the bur- dens and responsibilities of politics should be borne by the men. The sui. fragists, Jess than 1 per cent of the women of this state, however, insist that women are not doing their share and should be forced to assume the duties of Government in addition to all the rest. Is it fair?

The four big ships dating from
