Co-Operation of School
Boards With Health
Officers.
Following is a paper read by Dr.
F. B. Kistner before the Morrow
County School Board Convention,
at Heppner, Dec. 12, 1908:
The subject given to me ia one of great
imooftance. yet one that has received
very little attention at these gathering
in the past, it 1 can create enoriKn in
terest that this nubj"ct will be tfiven a
place on the program next year, to be
presented by one more able than myself,
I shall teel repaid for my effor ts.
Preventive medicine is one of the most
important, if not the moat important
brunch of medical science. It tins no
dramatic side such s surgery ; the exe
cution of its principals are as humdrum
as wash day, or putting up the tureens
to keep away the summer insects; vet
its results are far reiching a"d of the
greatest importande. It enabled the
Japsn-f-e to keep their isnks full and
their hoKpia's en.ptv 1 n-int; a most
brilliant military ca'iipaijrti. It has
made possible the litri nu of the Panama
Canal ; and an a-my of men is working
in the canal zone p'actiraily immune
to the virulent tiest u Iiich ilecimate and
dvitaliz the na'iv.-s on hjili sides
Tin-se things are nadr p-ii-i'til tlir'High
c()(i) lete an ! thorough isolation of all
sick, the intelligent use of a liitle tri'W
rp-iito netting uml some petr -o'entn ; the
providing of proper drainage and stetile
foi'd and d'inking W'iter. There ia no h
ir occti't r mystic abont it. I s suc
i'eyq depend-! noon the p-eepts of C;:a
mon cleanliness and decney.
There is a i opuUr misconception in
regard to some of the con'agious dis
eases. For instanoe, tneaRles, whoop
ing congh an'l mumps are looked upon
hs r.t but slight importance, a necessary
evil : and one which they would have and
i be done with as soon as possible. Con
j seqnently there is great negligence i
j preventing the spread of thes9 diseases.
As such, they are rarely rami, dui iney
have a mortalitv and sometimes disas
trous results follow their complications.
Following any one of them, we may
have collapse of the lunge or a catarrhal
pneumonia, which is vrry fatal in young
children and the aged. Meailes and
whooping cough frequently lay the foun
dation for tuberculosis, abd many a case
of chronic inflammation of tbe middle
ev is the result of a mild attack of
measle-i. In our own small community
we have a stunt young man who is a -iiwst
totally blind as a result of whoop
ing cough. For these reasons it. is nec
essary to prevent I lie spread of diseases.
Due to the fact that medical aid is not
necessary in a majority ot the cases,
they are not brought to the attention of
the County Board of he dth and very
littleis done to prevent their spread.
There is no doubt but that mild caes
of diphtheria ami scarlet fever exist
which do not receive medical attention
throughout the entire course of the dis
ease. These caes iu many instances
attend school betore thi danger of
spreading the disease is past. As a re
sult thev are the innocent carriers of
wh ttever disease they have.
Many parents are exceedingly careless
regardirrg the health of their children
and overlook practically evryhing ex
cept when attended by such symptoms
as to cause alarm. It is the exceptional
parent thst isolates every ease of -ore
throat in his family until satisfied it is
not dipb'heria, while it is the ususl cus
tom to rexitrd every throat affection a
of no consequence until marked evidence
of every illness comes on For this rea
son a mild cus of diphtheria may go
ahso'utely nixparantined and pncJical
ly untreated tnroughoutits entire course,
all the while spreading 'he contagioo.
The same is true of small-box, scarlet
fever and chicken pox.
The meari8 to check the spread must
evidently he rlirecteil toward an early
detection of the di-. ise. Of necessity
a great deal of thi devolves upon the
teacher, who should nuke an inspection
of tier pupils a daily toniine habit. No
child who presents any of the evidences
of an acute ihnens should be Hllowed to
remain i i school. Dining the preva
lence of any contagion or in any case in
which the teacher has anv mi picion l
contagion, the r.ther chi'dren of the fam
ily slK'iild he kept out and the matter
reported to the school biard at once.
The board can investigate t i determine
whether a uuara' line m necessary.
Utile io. Oregon .State P.omd of Health : '
".No person ha'l be admitted into any 1
public, parochial, or private school, or
college or S i uiay scho' l. from any
house or hni'ilin r in which has recently
occurred a case of dangerous communi
cable disease, 'vith'iiU lirst presenting a
certificate, s gned y a repntabl" physi
cian, that nil 'Linger of communicating
such disease is past."'
In seve-al w ars, service County
Hf.al.h r flirer I have never yet been
asked for a certificate of readmission to
school excep' i;i the cities i.l Heppner
and Hardri an. Th violation of this
rnle strikes at thn ve-y essence of qu.r
antiiie regulation. For, what assurance
have yon that the child coming from an
infected home ia not carrying his hsir
and cloth'ng and throat full of mfection?
Cause and effect are widely separated
in point of time and distancj in some
cases, but the results are just as certain
as that harvest will follow seeding. The
epidemic of diphtheria which occutrrd
io Heppner during tbe past fe months
can be traced directly to one coivabs-
cent coming from a 'neighboring ntnte
win in hud not been subjected to 'jum
antine regulations.
District I'.Liards should insist that no
j child from a home in which there ban
existed a case oi contagious disease shall
be admitted to scho d until he present :t
written statement from the County o
City Board of Health that there is no
danger of his carrying contagion.
Rule 24, Oregon State Board of Health :
"It shall be the duty of all school
boards in all the districts of whatever
class in the State of Oregon, to prohibit
the entrance into any of the pub I c
schools of the State, of all childreu not
previously vaccinated (the evident- of
which is shown bv the scar), without
proper vaccination ; and it shulh be the
du'y of the teacher or teachers in any of
the public schools of tiie State ai Oregon
to satisfy themselves that such order
h hh been properly enforced, the evidence
being a scar, or by a certificate of vucci
nation signed by a reputable pi ysician."
It is the duty of District Boards to see
that teachers enforce this ruling. That
it is neglected in a majority of the dis
tricts is plainly indicated by the number
of school chi.dren who apply for vacci
nation during every small-pox scare.
At the beginning of each school year
and at any time required bv the County
or City Boards of Health the district
hoards should make personal inspection
of the school premises and report in
writing the condition of the water sup
ply and the ont-building.
I do not offer these surges ions as a
per fect set of rules with the exception
of the rules that I have vuoted lioni the
State Board of Heal h. These rules a-e
imperative. The rest of them are sim
ply in tru for m of suggestion. .My ob
ject is to get the District Boards to work
together with the r.Jrjet of f mutilating
a set of rillts for the governing of health
regulations in the several schi.ol dis
tricts tiiroughout the County. A set. ol
rules involving the principles urid id -:1s

small, and we can never hope to arrive
at any satisfactory control of these con-
