With a daily inspection by a registered nurse there is no doubt but that the epidemics could be greatly reduced. Even at the slightest provocation, & pupil could be isolated or sent home and thus protection be given to others. It is true that the small expense of medical supervision must be met by taxes just as other school expenses are met but there should be no objection by the taxpayers or by members of the school board for care of the pupil's health. Some taxpayers point with glee to the reduction of school expenses; this is to be commended if extravagance or waste has been Teduced. But when the saving has been made at the expense of the pupil's health then it is nothing but criminal neglect and should be treated as such. While millions of dollars are collected for the mental education of the child, only a small proportion is spent in looking after it's health. What good will this money be to a child who has suffered death through a contagious disease caught at the schools? He is past the benefits of an education. The disease should be stamped out before it is fatal so that the child can be educated. Too often crowded quarters, unsanitary conditions, neglect of the pupil and lack of health supervision prevail in order to save a few dollars and practice false economy. That sickness can be easily contracted in picture shows, crowded stores and in places where people congregate is readily known. Also mothers, willingly or unwillingly, allow their sick children to play with other children and thus spread disease. These conditions must be met with through other channels of education or even prosecution, though it does not belittle the the fact that efficient results can be obtained directly in the schools. of pupils in primary grades that is not given hufficient attention, this is, lack of health supervision in many of the public schools. Each year it is of common occurrence to read of an epidemic of measles, chicken pox diphtheria, scarlet fever, mumps, or some other contagious disease that plays havoc among the ranks of the children. The pupil who becomes afflicted may or may not be seriously ill but a greater danger lies in the source of contagion to other children in the household or neighborhood with a spreading of an epidemic, often with disastrous results. Children may recover only to be permanently maimed with a weak constitution, some lingering illness or a serious affliction. Death occurs in families that otherwise would have escaped. To many people it has seemed an accepted fact that a child must pass through a series of juvenile diseases, it is part of the ordeal of life. Of late years, the medical profession has entirely refuted this theory and insists that it is much hotter to keep the child away from illness than it is to allow him to sufTer. When children congregate, there is always danger of passing disease from one to another, especially true in a crowded This jichool room with poor ventilation. brings forth the questions, "why should schools be known as the hot beds of contagion? Why subject the child to these insidious diseases? Why must the small ones at home or even the unborn babes be in danger because proper attention was not given before the diseases occurred? Certainly, it is much better to combat any sickness before it spreads and not wait un- Mrs. L. R.
