PROTECT THE CHILDREN

NNAITH scarlet fever preva-
~ lent in the city the an.
nouncement that the
quarantine regulations will be
observed is a good thing if it is
made to mean what it says. All
the cases are from one room in
the Lincoln school and this
raises a question if the spread
of the disease could not have
been prevented had the first
case been handled in time.
In connection with this gen.
eral subject it may be said that
the mothers of the city gener-
ally hold the view that in the
past local precautions against
the spread of contagious and
infectious diseases have been
very lax. They have had little
faith in the authorities and it is
to be hoped the policy of our
officials this year will be such
as to inspire greater conf
dence.
In the army camps rigid pre-
cautions are taken to stamp
out such diseases, even to meas
les, mumps and other minor in
fectious ailments. The work
