Protect the Children by
Keeping School Open
From SUte Board of Health.
Boards of health and school direc
or are often at a loss whether to
close schools or to keep them open
in the presence of an outbreak of
communicable disease. The problem
is not so difficult with the milder in
fections, as public panic in the pres
ence of these diseases is seldom great
enough to force school closure. With
the continued high prevalence of
diphtheria, scarlet fever or infantile
paralysis in a community, the health
officials are often obliged to consider
whether or not schools should be
closed. One may well e?k, here, what
forces health authorities to close
schools in such circumstances. In
general the answer is the pressure
of public opinion.
The public can scarcely be blamed
for wanting schools closed. They
have been led, for years, to believe
that the closing of schools would
stop an outbreak of contagious dis
ease. School superintendents, how
ever, are beginning to see that the
closed school is not an efficient bar
rier to the spread of an epidemic.
Lay members of boards of health and
some physicians yet believe that there
is no other way to control outbreaks
of contagious diseases. Under such
conditions, with public opinion clam
oring that "something be done" one
can hardly blame the press for fol
lowing what would seem sound, name
ly public opinion. It is unfortunate
when the officials of a community do
not act together. The community in
which the educational and health
authorities work together for the
common good is fortunate. In such
a community, you will find, even in
time of panic over an outbreak of
contagious disease, that the thinking
people, including the physicians and
the press, will support the opinion
and actions of its school and health
authorities.
But what can be done in an out
break of a dangerous communicable
disease to control the situation, if
schools are not to be closed? Seek
out the sources of infection in the I
community, lhese sources can be
discovered with the aid of the physi
cian and the health department.
With the schools open this last is
much easier from every point of
view than witn tne scnool closed.
All absentees are readily noted and
their physical condition can readily
be determined. The physicians can
' interviewed in regard to cases
under their care. Every child enter
ing school mornings or afternoons,
with the slightest suspicion of symp
toms can be segregated until exam
ined by a competent person. With
schools open, school, physician and
health officials co-operating, a daily
watch can be kept on comu..i:icabie
disease suspects, both in the school
and at home.
Health authorities realize that it is
not enough to isolate, quarantine
and placard in an attempt to control
contagion. Active effort must be
made to locate, if possible, the source
of infection. People, nci things,
spread disease ordinarily. t.e dot
ing of schools in time of epidemics
or threatened epidemics, is usually
the result of well-intended but poorly
informed public opinion.
CAMPFIRE NEWS.
The three groups of Camp
Fire
Girls combined to give a candy sale
at the Lyceum number Tuesday eve
ning. Committees of two from each
of the groups were appointed to act
on advertising, selling and sacking.
Due to a misunderstanding, the sil

MERICA today enjoys an era of
world leadership which was has
tened in no small measure by those
who faced Eastward ten years
ago sailing to the old world in the cause
of humantiy. Full credit, except at home,
perhaps has never been given American
arms in that world conflict. Nevertheless,
a stime sums up the part we played, there
will be no wonder that a nation such as ours
should establish itself as a power for good
and be an acknowledged leader.
Annually, we pause to pay tribute to all
the soldier dead in that great war. No lines
are drawn, our Allies, as well as the enmy's
dead, sharing in the tribute of the day. First
honor of course to our own a full appre
ciation of all they did, upholding the flag
and spreading the true spirit of Democracy
at the greatest cost man can pay the su
preme sacrifice.

America loves speed and bete is her
fastest tool.
America loves luxury and here Is her
fittest rour.
America, when she starts, likes to start
. like a rocket and here is a car that asks
but 7 seconds, through gears, to register
25 miles per hour.
Above all, America admires smartness,
when value is not sacrificed to achieve
it, and here style and stamina bid
equally for your faith and favor.
A sturdy car, commodious yet compact,
built from bumper to bumper the
good Dodge way.
