authorities recently conducted an IN
vestiyation into the subject of the
control III epidemic of diseases among
school children and advise that

that the successful control OF disease
among school children requires that
the schools be kept open, except
perhaps in the sparsely settled rural
districts where supervision by physi-
clans is impossible.
They recommend that during an
epidemic. all school children Should
be carefully inspected each morning
and provision made for the exclusion
OF all cases oi the disease and sus-
poets. The suspects should be eN-
Guided until the clinical data warrants
their return to school. This method
is preferable to the fixed period OF
exclusion. Children who are i'll
should be regularly visited by Il
school nurse. ply sician or other
health visitor employed by the school
board The disinfection OF the school
room and the sick room should be
accomplished by soap and water
cleansing and fresh air and sunshine,
rather than by chemical disinfectants.
The same rule Tor preventing a
number OF diseases which are pre-
valent this time of year apply to in
