PAQE SIX' What Teacher Can do to Control Contagious Diseases. Nothing so destroys the effi ciency of work at school as con tagious diseases among the - pupils. It is no wonder that teachers refer to outbreaks of measles, whooping cough, diph theria, and other diseases in their schools as "abomihations," for nothing else so cripples their work, handicaps their pupils, and makes teaching a burden as the continued presence of illness in school. Children who remain at home on account of sickness several davs or weeks not only lose so much time and instruction while away from school; they return to carry a double burden in at tempting to catch up with back work, and do this with a weak ened body and a lessened vitality. It is under just such conditions that little bodies often break down, and an education becomes impossible. Furthermore, the whole class suffers. Oftentimes it is held back or turned back to accomodate those kept away on account of sickness. Teacher and papil are both handicapped. The teacr.er is now regarded in the light of the new State Quarintine Law es a necessary agent in the control of contagi ous diseases. While she is re quired by the law to comply with several rules in the event of a case of a contagious disease in; her school, these requirements! are no more than the precautions .she would otherwise want to take for the good cf her school and the health of her pupils. By tak ing these precautions, suggested in the law, it is often possible for her to stop an epidemic at its source and save the school and the community much sick ness and many deaths. It is fur thermore possible , by keeping the children under strict rules and observation, to keep the school open when without the observance of such rules, the school would close and several weeks would be lost for all the pupils. What The Teacher Can do In case of an outbreak of some contagious disease in school, the teacher can, in the first place, report the case to the county quarantine officer; she can teach the children as to the ways and methods of preventing the dis ease, and give them the free health literature treating that particular disease which is sup plied by the quarantine officer; she can exclude children from school on being exposed to cases or having symptoms of illness according to the rules governing the various diseases; she can and should observe daily the pupils for disease symptoms such as colds and sore throats. This can be done bv taking the child to the light, having him to open his mouth deep and wide, and noting if thpre is anv undue redness or inflametion cf the ihroat When a teacher observes these rules and orecautions, she not nnWhelnsto keen down infec- - tinn in her own school, but in the community, and in the State The cases of contagious dis eases reported to me for month nf December were eight these being.
