SCHENECTADY, N. Y. July 16
tUP)-The New York state cduca-
ton department, in collaboration
with the General Electric Company
has init on n new idea to keep
Johnny in school.
It has agreed to installation of
germ-kIllinG ultraviolet ray lamps
in claSSroomS on an experimental
basis in the hope they may control
cpidemicS of measles. chickenpoX
and mumpS.
Three large central rural schools
in upstate New York have been
chosen as the proving ground. The
choice was made because all three
schools were constructed recently
on the same general plan.
SIMILAR SYMPTOMS
All have similar ventilating SyS-
tens circulating the same amount
of air per pupil. Each school has

TESTS USED
Tests to determine the bacterial
contamination of the air in repre-
sentative rooms with and without
ultraviolet lights will be made. The
ultraviolet light intensity and bac-
tericiGal activity of the lamps also
will be studied periodically.
But the experiment will not end
there Data to be kept over a period
of several years will include the
occurrence of measles, chickenpox

diagnosis. the determination of the
