THE CONTAGIOUS STAGE OF
 SYPHILIS

THE CONTAGIOUS STAGE OF
 SYPHILIS
 Article Number Five After an incubation period of from two to five weeks following the inoculation or infection, the first stage. of syphilis, the primary sore, called chancre, develops at the site of ineculation. This chancre or hard sore persists for four to six weeks and about the time 1t begins to heal Casually leaving 8 hard spot for many months afterward) the sec ond stage of the disease begins, with the appearance of skin rash which may scarcely show about the face, and sores in the mouth, falling hair, and slight feverishness and malaise resembling that of onconl- ing grip.
 The second stage of syphilis lasts from a few weeks to several months.
 It is in this second stage that the disease is most readily spread to others through casual contact, sorl1e- times through the common use of toilet articles, dishes, drinking cups, pencils, cigar-cutters, pipes, lipstick, or other articles likely to be con- | taminated by mouth secretions or saliva. Kissing is the way in which many innocents are infected. Never permit a stranger or in fact any one to kiss baby on the mouth. A per- son may show no external sign, nc skin rash, appeal to the casual ob- server perfectly clean and healthy yet be in the secondary stage o1 syphilis with mucous patches in the mouth, and so most likely to infect others.
 No layman can fairly or with any degree of probability suspect that 3 skin rash of any kind which shows on a strangers face is syphilitic The probability is that any such face eruption is not syphilitic. Sc far as outward appearances go, not even a physician can form rlnort than a tentative opinion whether g skin trouble is or is not syphilitic.
 Syphilis affecting moist surfaces is much more contagious than syphilis of the skin where there i no raw surface or moist discharge from the lesions.
 In any case where the disease is given proper medical treatment from the beginning, the contagious ness steadily diminishes and in tht course of two years after infec- ton becomes practically nil. There is practically no risk involved ir ordinary association with persor who has had syphilis more thar two years, especially if the persof is cleanly in habit. In any case oi syphilis in 8 household or in tn, immediate environment, ordinar, soap and water cleanliness is thu most dependable prophylaxis fol the protection of those who come 1T contact with the patient.
 After a year or so of the second ary stage of syphilis there is a more or less prolonged period of latency no further signs or symptoms oe- curing, until the beginning of the third stage. This is the stage of the formation of nodules. called gum mata, gummy or rubbery growths in any part of the body, in the brain, bones. organs, skin, and in this stage the secretions are no longer contagious.

BERLIN, July 3l-Under the NaN

even kindergarten methods are bein1
revolutionized
Education from the feet up. instead
OF from the head down, is the new
pedagogical theory 1t is being put
into practice as fast as teachers can
be trained and kindergartens built
According TO the Nazi philosophy Of
education it is just as foolish TO begin
a child'S education by training him ID
work at desk as it would be to teacn
him to stand on his head before he has
learned to walk.
SO the first thing the kiddies between
the ages Of and in Hitler's kinder.
gartens learn is how to use their feet.
Perhaps the discovery that large per-
centage of the 10-year youngsters
beginning TO march in the preliminary
Hitler youth formations had defective
feet has caused particular emphasis 70
be laid on the feet in the new kinder
gartens. In any case, the kiddies get
plenty of toe-Wiggling exercises. and
are expected to be proficient at picking
up objects with their toes long before
they are taught to hold pencil or pen
in their fingers.
The lets play a game" method OF
training the pre-school child to use its
body effectively is employed, rather
than drill. But enough emphasis is
laid on what Nazis call the "Gemein-
schaftsgeist" community spirit 20
that the games accustom the child to
disciplined community effort before ne
enters the first grade OF school
So much Of the time in the Nazi
kindergartens is spent on such physical
culture that the teachers for them are
trained more like gymnasium instruc-
tors than ordinary kindergarten in.
