At the regular meeting Of the Roy
School Board last week, Remigio Lo-
pez was unanimously elected clerk Of
the board to FIJI vacancy, and has
taken up the duties of that Office. Mr..
Lopez hesitated about accepting the
appointment for several reasons, one
of which was his full understanding
of the difficulties and unpleasant du-
ties it carries, but he yielded to pOpu-
lar demand for his services in the po-
sition where he is better qualified to
render the service our school interests
demand than any other citizens Of the
district.
Mr.. Lopez has served long and faith
fully as school director and celrk here
and will be able to extricate the dis
trict from the jumbie caused by neg
lect of some Of the most important
functions of the office. He has made
the census for the district and Sc
cured its acceptance by the County
Superintendent so that we may gel
our State apportionment, and will take
up the matter of a special levy with
the County Commissioners to meet
the deficit caused by the change from
rural to an independent district and
the working of the new law preventing
payment Of bills of former years from
this years taxes. 1ne TWO combined
have set this district about 100000
behind and a special levy will be ne
cessary to meet it. In the mean Tins
loyal citizens are taking care of the
deficit and depending ON the Schoo
Board aided by Mr.. Lopez to take
care of the financial problem.
1t is earnestly hoped that this and
other minor difficulties encountered by
the schools sbis winter will all be ad
justed and that the rest of the schoo
year may be more pleasant as wei
as more profitable. Conditions arr
hopeful. If no one was interested
enough to work for better conditions
it would be indeed "a serious matter.

A Better Way

Closing schools as a means Of con-
trolling epidemics of measles, whoop-
ing cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria,
smallpox, and poliomyelitis should be
considered as last resort, to be used
only when thorough and systematic
application Of other measures fails to
effect control. AS a method it is
clumsy, unscientific, and very unsat-
isfactory, for it fails to control and
results in the loss Of school, time and
money. The modern method of careful
daily inspection of infected schools,
isolation of sick children, and quar-
antine of contacts, is both more ef-
fective and economical
Such is the summary of report made
by the American Public Health AS
sociation.
The successful control Of epidemic
disease among school children re-
quires--
l. Keeping the schools open.
2. Careful inspection of schools.
3. Careful provision for exclusion
of cases and contacts, emphasis being
placed on clinical date rather than
upon fixed periods Of exclusion.
A. Systematic home visitation.
5. Reliance upon natural and phys
ical cleansing rather than upon chem
ical disinfectants, or fumigation.
