onstrated several days ago at the
Newport schools. according to DR..
A. j. Strikol, OF this place. who is
the examining physician for the
child Welfare Bureau. In this par
ticular case the physician and nurse
examining the school children
found two OF the pupils with the
skin peeling, such as is customary
in cases OF scarlet fever
An investigation made at that
time disclosed the fact that both
children had been absent from
school on one or two days because
Of illness, but had returned to their
studies. When the medical exami-
nation was being made. the chill
dren were recovering but the flesh
was peeling, which is considered
the most contagious period Of the
disease.
The children were sent TO their
homes and within a few days two
OF the other pupils were reported
suffering from the same disease.
Proper precautions we're at once
taken to prevent a spread OF the
disease. When the attention OF the
School. Commissioners was called to
the cases today however it was
said that the cases had not been re-
ported to them.
Several cases OF scarlet fever
have been reported among the
school children in this district dur
ing the past four days. So far none
