SPREAD OF MEASLES
WARNED AGAINST BY
SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
DR.. Cole Kelley Asks Par
ents to Watch for
Symptoms.

In view Of the large number OF cases
of measles among the schill children
and of the contagiousness of measles,
it is requested by the school health
department that all children who show
any symptoms that might be measles
be kept from school. according TO DR..
Cole Kelley. school physician.
Any child who has cold symptoms.
or any irritation of the eyes, or has
fever. should be kept at home for OBJ
Servation, he said. 1t is impossible TO
diagnose measles in the first day or
two, when it is the most contagious,
and when it is most desirable that the
child be isolated, hence the need for
this request. When a case of the dis
ease is actually present in home, all
the children must be kept away from
school until all are we'll. This is to
prevent the possible. spread of the dis
ease by the we'll children. All such
children, before being allowed to re-
turn TO school, must present a certif;-
cate, signed by the school physician,
stating that they are well.
IL is only by the rigid isolation OF
all suspected cases that the spread of
the diease can be controlled
Measles. while not of itself very
dangerous to life. may give rise to
very serious complications. the most
important Of which is pneumonia. The
period OF communicating extends
from the time the first symptomms APP
pear until about one week after the
arsh has disappeared, or until all dis
charge from the nose is gone. Children
exposed to infection usually develop
tie disease in about fourteen days.
