ITCH KEEPS CHILDREN BUSY.
Twenty-One Cases Are Reported Dur.
ing Month of October.

Impetigo, coolies and just plain itch,
kept the school children of Topeka
busy last month, as we'll as their regu-
lar studies. Twenty-one cases of itch,
eight of lice and thirty-eight of i'm
petigo were reported from the schools
of the city during the month. The
district having the most cootie cases
was the poorest in the city. The dis
trict having the next largest number
was the richest.
Even as generals and other brass
hats once discovered, the cootie has
one godlike quality-he is no respecter
of persons. Seven, cases of scarlet
fever were reported. Ten cases of de-
fective vision were remedied by the
use of proper glasses. Twenty-four
were reported which have not yet been
attended to. The dental clinic handled
thirty-six dental cases during the
month.
