First, we must insist on cleanliness. and direct
the children in their personal habits. There are
preventive measures that will 90 far toward
keeping a child from taking a disease when
exposed to it.
Almost every contagious disease begins with
a running nose. When a child wakes up in the
morning with a sore throat, running nose, fever
and headache, keep him home, and in bed.
In the early stage of contagious diseases you
never know what particular contagion it may be.
Take no chances, but keep the child apart from
others to protect them from the contagion.
A child should be taught to cover the mouth
when coughing, or sneezing. This should be
everybody's practice. The schoolroom is a place
where the common cold is frequently met. On
the door-knobs, pencils, erasers, and everything
children touch, are the willy little germs that set
