SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Dr.. G. a. =. Reed

You are continually hearing
about cases Of infantile pa
ralysis. Some Of them are single.
or isolated cases: others occur az
epidemics, or. more properly. en-.
denies, One such endemic occurred
in England in 1926. Two famous
schools, Uppingham and Broad.
stairs, were involved. There was
much controversy in the press.
Two distinct schools Of thought
were developed. Each school OF
thought followed It's own line Of
action.
The medical advisers of Tipping
ham caused the boys to be sent
away to their homes and the
school to be broken up. Lord
Dawson, of Penn. and DR.. James
Collier. who were consulted about
the outbreak in the school in
Broadstairs. advised the headmas-
ter to shut the school off rom
the world as an isolated commu-
nifty, and this was done. No
further cases occurred here.
whereas two boys from Tipping.
ham infected other people.
The work of Topley and Green
wood on infectious diseases in
communities of rats proved the
following rules Summed up by
DIR. Collier): ID If you keep a
herd Of infected rats isolated you
will perhaps in a short time get
rid of the infection. (2l But If
you allow a few ''unsalted immi-
grants" susceptibles-to dribble
into the herd from time to time
you will never get rid Of the
infection. (3) The effect of every
addition of susceptibles il to raise
the Virulence of the infection, so
much so that in time even the
immune members and those who
have recovered. suecumb. az 1t
is much safer to introduce a
thousand susceptibles in one day
than 10 a day for a hundred
days.
DIR. Collier concludes from this
that to break community cpl
denic, whether of infantile par
alysis or anything else, we should
keep the infected community to-
gether and allow no ingress.
DR.. Walshe Gancet), however,
points out that boarding school
epidemics introduce several quail
tying factors which have to be
considered. To begin with, the
headmaster is primarily responsible
to the parents of his pupils, and
not to the State. Secondly,
whether he is to isolate and quar-
antine his school, or dispense it,
depends chiefly on local condi-
tons. Infection Is chiefly spread
during sleep in dormitories, &C.
cording to Commander s. F. Dud-
ley's work, and so at the very
least a safe isolation of the school
community requires the division
of it's members into very small
groups, each one isolated from all
the other groups, and the spac-
ing OF the beds so that "droplet"
infection cannot occur; also the
strict exclusion of fresh suscep-
tible members for long period
after the infection has died out.
In some schools this is practicable.
