RECURRENCE OF
INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC

The Commissioner Of Health
has called upon the Red Cross 10
make suitable preparations to meet
nossible recurrence of the Influenza
while if is believed that a repetition
of the disastrous epidemic OF last
,,aar is improbable, last year S eA-
ye~iance has shown that the epldem-
IL develops with such rapidity that IN
order to provide for prompt and ell
fcient action, plans should now De
eorrnnlated to deal with the posslDle
ITO this end the Commissioner
recommends that each Red cross
Chapter should make careful lnVen-
tory of material resources, OF Dulia-
ings both actually and potentlally
available. and OF nurses and nurses
lids classified in accordance Win
their availability for either local ser
vice or as a part of a mobile force.
2-The Commissioner suggests that
for tbe occasional case or in an ep-
idenic of slight proportions, ar
rangements with hospitals would in
many localities meet the require
ments. ~,
All our Chapters last year did
so much in combating the ravages OF
the disease and bringing relief to It's
sufferers that their familiarity with
the conditions will enable Chapter Of
fcials to take whatever precautionary
measures sound judgment will sug-
gest as being advisable at this time
in order to promptly meet a similar
condition this year should it arise.
5-As to the prevention and treat
ment of the Influenza, the Cemmiss-
ioner advises as follows;
."As for precautionary steps apply
/ ing to the individual, there seems
nothing better tLan the maintenance
of the general health at its highest
nnint. the avoidance of crowded, over
heated, ill-ventilated places, and the
stunning of him or her who coughs
without using a handkerchief as one
would a sufferer from small pox.
! There is enough evidence of the value
of masks properly worn and supple
mented by clean hands, to make this
measure advisable, particularly in the
case of those who do cough. This as
a protection to others.
6.-"The underlying cause Of in
| fluenza has not been discovered, un-
/ less it be a filterable virus, nor is
there any therapeutics for it other
than shelter, good nursing, proper
nourishment and symptomatic treat
ment"

TWO THINGS NEEDFUL

Mr.. Editor:-
One thing in the public schools has,
1 think, always been very much ne
elected. That is the teachers and
parents do not become we'll enough
acquainted with one another. mean
this rule to apply principally TO our
rural schools. / sometimes ask par
ents the name Of their teacher, and
that parent, especially the mother,
cannot tell me. She may know the
teachers first name by hearing her
own child mention II, but she so in
frequently knows the last name. But
II she does know the teachers full
name and nothing more. she has made
no step towards gaining the teachers
acquaintance.
The parents should visit the schools
and evince a lively interest In the
school work. Friendship between
teacher and parents creates a conf
dence IN the teacher from the pupils;
and this confidence Is OF vital import
anee to the welfare and progress OF
the school. The parents should al
ways speak well OF their teacher in
the presence OF their chill II they
wish TO maintain harmony and a we'll
balanced feeling between .eacher and
the children. Even a truant child
