SCHOOL CHILDREN
CURED OF PHTHISIS
Several Excluded From Public
Schools Will Be Permitted
{ to Re-enter Now.

Several public school children
who were excluded from school be-
cause OF tuberculosis will be ready to
re-enter school tomorrow, having been
cured Of the disease. 1t was stated by
a school official today.
Those children excluded from school
have been receiving treatment TO
which the majority are responding
rapidly. The problem of housing and
teaching those youngsters who are
yet out of school probably will be
settled at the next meeting OF the
Board OF Education.
Building Is Minor Problem.
To decide on a suitable building is
not the greatest of the boards trou-
BILE. What causes the most concern
is the manner in which funds for the
proper maintenance of the prescribed
school are to be raised.
1t is not believed likely that the
number of tubercular children will be
increased materially. That a general
census OF all the children in. The
schools for the purpose of determtn-
ing whether or not they have tuber-
culosis, is considered not only unnec-
essary, but also nearly impossible
With the, present force.
Examination Takes Time.
To properly examine a person for
tuberculosis, considerable time must
be taken. There are about GO,OOo
school children in the city.
1t Is not considered necessary by
officials of the Health Department to
examine every child. The physicians
of the District are required by law to
report any case OF tuberculosis
among school children, and the
teacher may ask that a suspected
child be examined. This, Health De
partment officials believe, is ample
protection.
