Public School Enrolment and the War.

Enrolment in American public schools
has been affected by he war, but not TO
the extent Of making il less than last year,
according to figures compiled by the De
partmcnt Of the Interior through the
Bureau OF Education Figures from l,ill
cities and 696 counties or districts show
an increase Of close 10 the normal amount
Of 212 per cent in elementary schools In
high schools. however, the increase Is only
one-fourth OF the usual 9i2 per cent.
Such increase as there is in high school
enrolment is caused by the girl students
Fewer BOYS are enrolled this year in every
class in high school except the fourth;
apparently there is 4 healthy tendency for
BOYS in the senior year TO remain and
graduate,
In cftv elementary schools the increase
in enrolment j. actually somewhat above
normal; but in city high schools there Is a
marked falling of, especially among the
boys
Country schools show some gains over
last wear both III elementary and high
school enrolment, but not as great As
would be expected under normal condl-
tions. Rural high schools show increases
Tor both boys and girls, despite the war.

PHYSICIANS VERSUS
BOARD OF HEALTH

] And still the miniature war goes
on. For the benefit of those who
have been in doubt as to the duties
of the local Board of Health and the
physicians during the recent ep-
idemic in our city, Mayor Bragdon
submits the following self explana-
| tory letter:
Oct. 80, 1918.
DR.. c. j. Bragdon,
Mayor. City of Gardiner,
Gardiner, Maine.
Dear DR.. Bragdon:-
1t has occurred to me that possibly
| my answer to you over the telephone
| Monday evening may have been in
| complete and possibly misunder-
stood. While there is no definite law
which requires a physician to report
| cases of recovery, as there is a spe-
| cific law requiring his reporting of
the original cases, 1 think it may be
safely assumed that the reporting
| of such recoveries to local boards of
health is at least implied, especially
in those diseases where the local
board of health places a quarantine
on the case or house. 1t is impos-
know when quarantine should be
lifted and disinfection carried out I'M
less the recovery Of the case is re-
ported to the local board of health
by the physician in attendance. Il
the attending physician does not see
mt to report the recovery of the case
to the local board of health, the To-
cal board of health certainly has the
right to maintain quarantine until
such notice is Forthcoming from the
physician.
In the case Of influenza, local
boards of health have been given the
power to use their own judgement
as to whether or not a case shall be
isolated in the room, and if such per-
son is SO isolated by the local board
or health. isolation cannot be lifted
until the attending physician gives
notice to the board of health that
the case is fully recovered. For
this reason it would seem perfectly
proper for local board of health to
insist that recoveries of cases which
have been placed in any kind of
quarantine or isolation shall be re-
ported to them, although as 1 have
stated before, there is no strict law
or ruling on this point.
Hoping that this makes my ans
wer a little clearer, and with best
regards l am,
Yours very truly
L. D. BRISTOL, NJ. D.
Commissioner
