PORTO RICOTTCH

| Systematizing health work in the
schools has been a prominent feature
of board of health activities recently
and has brought to light number of
| features requiring attention which
were previously more or less ignored
because Of circumstances. Additional
Funds and additional staff have made
possible a great deal of new work that
has borne fine results even in the
short period in which it has been in
effect
Thus. for instance, The board OF
health has secured figures concerning
what has been called an insignificant
disease known as Porto Rican itch,
which is common in the schools. A
good many of the centers OF the
! trouble have been located and special
efforts made 10 control it, with excel
lent results.
Porto RiCan itch is disease caused
by a small insect which lodges under
the skin and which is t .trtmc'y con

has serious consequences if not treat

does modified smallpox. 1t is not
necessarily a disease of filth. but its
spread is helped by conditions where
bathing facilities are poor. The insect
causing the trouble is not partial 20
