Dear Editor:
+ You will permit me through
the columns of your valued paper
to set before your readers who
are patrons of School District No.
II, a few facts concerning the
present epidemic of measles, in
order that those who do not have
access to the State Board of
Health rules and regulations may
know what governs the actions
of the school and health author
tiles.
Measles is considered a COM
municable disease; although the
disease in itself is not dangerous
to older children, as a rule, it is
fatal to infants and the after-ef-
fects and complications are far
more serious than the disease.
Whenever the local health au-
thorities are informed, or sus-
pect, that there is a case Of a
communicable disease in the ter
ritory over which they have jur-
isdiction, they have the power to
investigate and employ the quar-
antine or sanitary measures d.
rected by the Minnesota State
Board of Health in dealing with
such cases. Teachers in villages
shall refer to the head of the
schools at once any pupil who
shows signs of communicable
disease; all such pupils shall be
reported to the school physician
for medical examination unless
in the opinion of the head of the
school the pupils condition re-
quires that he or she be sent
home Immediately. In such cases
the health authorities of the san
itary district concerned shall be
notified Immediately by the head
of the school. A person having
a communicable disease, or a
person residing in a house in
which any such disease exists, or
has recently existed, shall be ex-
cluded from attending any pri-
vate, public, church or Sunday
school until the health officer of
the sanitary district concerned
shall have given his permission
for such attendance. Children
residing in the house who have
had the disease previously may
attend school upon receiving a
written permit from the health
officer; children who have not
had the disease are forbidden to
leave the premises and must not
return TO school until permission
from the health officer has been
secured. The local health officer
shall post in a conspicuous place
upon the entrance where measles
exists a notice in words and form
as follows: MEASLES exist on
these premises. Children resid-
ing in this house are forbidden
to leave the premises without
the permission Of the health Of
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1923-05-17

ficer. The occupants of this
house will be held responsible
for the unauthorized removal of
the card"
The above is quoted from the
State Board of Health regula-
tions. 1t will be seen that Meth
er the head of the school nor the
local health officer has any choice
in the matter. if these parties are
fulfilling their duties. There is
no fee connected with the secur-
ing of a permit from a health Of
ficer as he is paid for such SER
vice by the town or village board.
The van drivers have been in
structed not to carry children
front homes where measles exists
until the permit to return to
school has been given to the head
of the school; a permit must be
secured for each child. Parents
can aid materially in suppressing
the present epidemic by lending
their assistance. Children hav-
ing the familiar symptoms of
measles had better be kept at
home a day or two at least in or
der to protect themselves and
others.
Quoting from DIR. Woods Hut
Crimson we note the following in
the diagnosis of measles: After
the preliminary disturbances of
snuffles, hot throat, headache,
and feverishness, the first thing
to mark off measles is usually
that the itching and running of
the nose and the eyes become
more prominent, the child begins
to turn it's face away from the
light and complains not SO much
of soreness as of a peppery, burn
ing, itching sensation in its nose
and throat. The tongue is coated
and the stomach mildly upset;
the little patient is more uncom-
Portable and fretful than serious
ly i'll. This condition drags on
without apparently getting any
where for from two to four days,
during which time it is often
difficult for the most expert
enced physician to say positively
what the little sufferer has. But
about the fourth day a rash be-
gins to appear, typically first up
on the cheeks or the forehead in
the shape of little widely sepa-
rated dull-red blotches. These
grow larger and deeper in color
rising in the middle and spread.
ing at the edges, so that shortly
the whole skin becomes puffed
and swollen and of a notified
pinkish-purple color. II the
child's lower lip be pulled down,
little red spots will be seen
scattered over the lining men,
brane of the mouth; these spots
in the mouth will often appear a
day or more before the eruption
upon the skin and give the first
clue to the nature of the dis
ease"
II is indeed unfortunate that
an epidemic should break out
and especially so near the close
of the school year. But with
care and diligence on the part of
everybody the seige may be of
short duration and, it is hoped.
may result in no fatalities or al
ter effects.
Yours sincerely,
F. Clarey Nielsen.
