member that fatalities from this dis
ease increase in proportion to the de-
crease in age.
When measles occur in a community
it is not necessary to close the school
but no child should be permitted in
school who is not well. The teachers
should examine the children each morn
ing and send all suspected cases home.
All childrAn> from homes where they
have measles should be kept at home
until two weeks after exposure, then II
they are well they can return to
school.
Some day someone will isolate the
germ or causative substance, and we
will have a remedy as we now have
for smallpox, typhoid, diphtheria, etc.
In the meantime, let us do what we
can and save the loss of life, the suf-
ferring, loss of time and money due
to this disease of childhood.
