Board Of Health
New Regulations
To Cope With Spreading of
Contagious Disease Is Out
Lined by Co. Board

Reports nave DeeO mace TO the
board of Health of Cavalier County
of light cases of Small Pox in differ.
ent parts of the County. The law now
is that vaccination for small pox is
discretionary with parents or individ-
uals themselves Vaccination, how.
ever, properly performed is the only
preventative known to science that
lnsures against small pox and has,
we believe. thru the successive vac
cination of generations. subdued the
dread disease of small pox, formerly
almost necessarily fatal, to the
comparatively mild disease it now is
in most cases. The fact, however,
that the disease is in most cases
mild, does not prevent the virulent
form from developing at any time.
Therefor the spread of this disease.
Under the supervision of the State
Board of Health and outside of in
corporated cities, the County Board
of Health has supreme authority in
matters of quarantine which it may
declare and enforce when none exist
ed and modify or abolish when it has
been established. After consultation
with DR.. C. G. McGurren, the Super
intendent of the State Board of
Health, and upon his recommends
tion, we have decided upon the fol.
lowing method of dealing with this
epidemic for the present.
First: Upon the first suspicious
symptoms, the patient must be COM
pletely isolated in room in his home.
As long as he is kept isolated and
away from everybody, the other men,
bers of his family will not be quaran-
tined. but placard warning that
there is small pox in the house must
be posted front and rear of the house.
Second: The teacher must senc
home at once, upon the development
of any suspicious symptoms, any
pupil in school together with all
other members from the same house
with instruction that the pupil be iso.
lated as above set forth and such
pupils may not re enter school until
having a certificate from a duly
qualified physician If this instruction
is followed up the school need not be
closed unless the epidemic become so
general that the attendance requires
| it.
Third: The room in which the pa
tient is and the patient himself must
be thoroughly disinfected when the
disease has run its course. The dis
infectant will be furnished by the
county upon application to the County y
Board of Health. Physicians and
others are requested to send there fol-
it.
If these rules are not obeyed or f
at any time the Board sees that it is
for the best interest Of the county,
rigid quarantine will be established
and enforced

Not Bonding for Seed Grain

Chairman Sam Iverson of the
board of county commissioners writes
from Alsen, asking that the papers
of the county give front page publ.
city to the fact that the board at it's
meeting of two weeks ago decided
negatively upon the question of bond
ing for seed grain. 1t not being
deemed that farmers in Cavalier
county were in need Of being aided
in this manner to procure seed for
their 1921 crop acreage, The action
taken by the board of county COM
missioners in this matter was clear
ly stated. but what was done does
not appear to have become generally
known foa some reason or other.

4. From five to ten sets Of supple
mentary readers should be read every
year by every pupil in every grade be-
low the high school. Indeed wisdom
must be exercised in selecting proper
reading material for these children.
The grade Of the book used for general
reading purposes should not necessarily
be predicated upon the grade in which
child finds himself, but rather upon
his knowledge Of English, his power of
comprehension, etc. Reach the child
with material suited to his strength,
and appealing to his interest, and, in
due time, he will show greater intel
lectual strength, reaching out for more
difficult material, and, incidentally, he
| vii take a greater interest in his school
studies because, and only because, he
| has improved his mental condition to
the point where he seems able to mas
ter the things put in bis way.

grasp on a whole subject which she
