ADVICE TO TEACHERS
DR.. Brown Asks Them To Help Keep
Down School Diseases.

A letter OF warning has been writ
ten by DR.. Earle G.. Brown. city health
officer. to every school principal in
the city, telling them of the common
communicable diseases that may be
expected with the opening of the city
schools.
THE elimination Of the early cases"
says Doctor Brown. will have much
TO do with keeping down the POSSIBLE
lty OF an epidemic. Teachers can be
of untold help in the elimination of
infectious and conta gious diseases.
This can be done by teachers familiar
izing themselves with symptoms Of
diseases. II symptoms warrant sus-
picions a child should be excluded
from school until a diagnosis is made.
The diseases which the health Off
Ger suggests that teachers should be
familiar with are: Measles. chicken
pox. smallpox. scarlet fever. mumpa
whoopinE cough, diphtheria and influ-
enza.
He follows this lead with a detailed
description of symptoms of all these
diseases describing them in such q
way as to make them easily recognized
by the average laymen.
