SCHOOLS AND
EPiDEMlcs
No School should Close on
account of Epidemic of
Contagious Disease

The plan of closing school in
case of an epidemic of some con.
tagious disease is the old and in.
effective way of dealing with
such situation, and was adopt.
ed because there was apparently
nothing else to do. But, accord
ing to the North Dakota Public
Health Service, there is another
way, scientific and an efficient
means, of dealing with an epi-
demic in school. This way does
not close the school at all but
uses the school as a most valua.
BILE aid in keeping the children
under observation, that early
cases may be detected and re-
moved before they become q
source of infection to the other
children. "In case school has
no nurse or school physician"
says the bulletin, "a physicians
services can be secured for the
daily examinations while the epi.
demic lasts and both parents
and the health officer or quaran.
tine officer, can be notified and
the epidemic soon brought un-
der control"
On the other hand, it the
schools are closed when an out
break occurs, the children are
turned loose from supervision;
they mingle with one another on
the streets and in each others
homes; they are unwilling to ad.
NIT they feel ill for the reason it
will be the end of their good
time and consequently when one
does come down" with the dis.
ease, usually it is not detected
until he has infected his broth.
ers and sisters and perhaps his
playmates. Oftentimes, in such
cases, the parents call the ply
sioian too late.
No school should close on &C.
count of contagious diseases. II
the school teacher is alert ana
the health officer on the job, an
epidemic can be avoided or so
controlled that there will be no
loss of time on the part of the
part of the school as a whole.
Not for four years has a school
in New York City closed on &C.
count of an epidemic of a con-
! tagious disease.

stock exhibits at our Fairs but
there is some stock in this coun-
ty that has not been shown at
anv of our Fairs and which we
are in hopes of securing this
year. 1t would be a credit to
the owners to show them here.
1t is true we do not have the
buildings to take care of this
stock at the fair grounds over
night, but everything will be
done by the management to Sc
cure a good place for the stock.
And we hope you will all take
great interest in this depart
ment as it will be a great boom
for our fair.
Now don't leave it to the other
fellow to bring in the exhibits.
Let US each bring in our own
exhibit for the other fellow to
look at. We do not have a race
meet; we do not have a street
fair made up of cheap shows
and outside attractions. We do
have a County Fair made up of
stock and farm products. That
is what we want. That is the
central idea and that is why the
Steele County Fair Association
was organized. Such Fair
will encourage scientific agri-
culture and will help to foster
and develop the best in all lines
of farming. Remember that it
is your Exhibit that will make
the Fair.
Take the whole family and ask
your neighbor to come. Meet
your friends at the Fair and
Judge the exhibits with them.
Discuss the quality of these ex-
hibits and enjoy yourselves in
general.
Saturday, October 18th, will
be Steele County Loyalty day at
the Fair and we want every loyal
citizen of Steele county to be
present. A short loyalty pro.
gram will be put on as we'll as
exercises by the school children.
The Steele County Fair will
be what you make it. The d.
rectors have been struggling
along to keep the Fair from los.
ing money and the Fairs may
not have been as good as we
would like to have had them, but
with a big-money crop this year
don't forget to buy $25 life
mem bership in the Steele Coun.
| ty Fair Assn. this fall and help
make the Fairs of the future the
best county fairs in the state.
It will be a credit to every citi-
zen of Steele County.

Urges Britain to Keep Gains
Saturday Review" Criticises
Balfour's Speech
[Staf Correspondencel

LONDON, Dec. 26.-"The Saturday
Review" representing a large body OF
high Conservative opinion, in discussing
Balfour's recent speech, says:
"Mr. Balfour is at great pains 10
prove that Great Britain is the only
Entente power in Europe that would
gain nothing materia! out Of the war.
Russia claimed Constantinople. We re-
luctantly admitted the claim, and so
brought Turkey in the war against US.
Italy wanted Trieste and the Trentino.
France was to recover Alsace-Lorraine
"lf this were true, The ordinary
Briton might exclaim: why in Gods
name is Britain TO be the only power
that is to get nothing material in re-
turn for her sacrifices in wealth and
men" But the statement is untrue, we
arc glad TO say. British troops have
captured large portion of Asiatic Tur-
key. and presumably Britain will stick
70 it.
at is just this kind Of ministerial
speech which gains for England a rep.
utation for Tartuhsm abroad. Why
didn't Balfour say bluntly that we went
into this war to restore the balance Of
power by smashing Germany, and that
anything we conquer we mean 70
