FUMIGATION of school rooms is usually done by means of the fumes of sulphur or formaldehyde. It is doubtful if, done in the hap- hazard, way it is usually carried out, it is worth the expense. Lots of children get infection of ono kind or another in school, but it is not the atmosphere of an "infected school -room" but the mild and unre- cognized cases of communicable disease which spread the disease by contact infection among the children. It is often found that after great pains and expense have been taken to disinfect school -rooms that fresh cases appear, as if no precautions had been taken. The nest_ safe -guards are cleanliness' and the simple, use of disinfect- auts.. -The objects in the school -room which are frequently handled, such as• door, -knobs ;,railings, gymnastic apparatus, toilet fixtures, etc.,` should be thoroughly cleaned once a week and gone over every WHAT SHOULD morning with a cloth wet in (1-40) formaldehyde solu- BE; DONE lion, creosol solution, or weak carbolic solution. Water - closets should be kept scrupulously clean, and the seats, doorknobs, chains, etc., should bedisinfected daily in the manner already described. The toilet facilities for many of the country schools are little short cf scandalous. The writer is aware that Women's Institutes are doing a great deal towards the improvement ,of sanitary conditions in these schools and it is the .duty of the Medical Officer of Health to have a sharp eye on school premises and insist that the 'toilets and surroundings are kept in proper sanitary condition. Dust should be wiped off furniture with a damp -cloth. • Don't use a feather duster, this merely stirs up the , - dust, and is Worse than useless. The floors should be oiled and oil brushes used in sweeping. Blackboard chalk should be removed as much as pos- sibleafter school hours by wet cloths instead of by erasers. Since much of the disease occurring among children is spread from the mouth and. throat it iseasy to see how the Common Drinking Cup and the Common`' Towel spread disease. Their use should not be allowed in school or elsewhere. ` A card with these rules printed in large letters should be hung up in every school -room. • Do not spit' if you can help' it. Never spit on a slate, floor, or sidewalk Do not hut' the fingers into the mouth. Do not pick the nose or wipe the nose on the hand or sleeve. Doi not wet tho fingers in the mouth when turning the leaves of a book. Do not put pencils in the mouth or wet them with the lips. Do not put money into the mouth. Do not putpins in the mouth. Do not put anything into the mouth except food and drink. Do not swap apple -cores, candy, chewing gum, half -eaten food, whistles, toys, or anything that is put into the mouth. Never cough or sneeze in a person's face, turn your face to one side. Keep' your face and hands clean. Wash your hands with soap and water before each meal. INFANTILE iPARALYSIS VS. OTHER ,COMMUNICABLE DISEASES. Great catastrophes have great lessons, and the greater the catastrophe the •g reater the lesson. Immediately after a railroad disaster, a shipwreck, or a sensational fire in which lives are lost the public demand that action be taken to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents in the future. While this is quite proper, it is essentially important that a broad applicationof the lesson should be learned, but it is seldom done. The suburban railway', accident at Queenston last year, the loss of the great vessels the Empress of Ireland and the Titanic, all contributing to greater or lesser loss of life,',' resulted only in guarding against an identical form of accident in the' future. The• same holds true inrespect to infantile paralysis which has been the cause of excitement almost appr'oaehing panic in some parts of the United States anti in portions of this country, though happily we have escaped with about the seasonal average number of cases. Stringent meas- ures were taken by our neighbours to check the outbreak in New York and other cities, and the Provincial Health authorities have been on the alert against any similar epidemic in Ontario. But the incidence of infan- tile paralysis with its death rate is trifling compared with the results from othe-r'disease,s in regard to which the public is apathetic. In December of last year there wore over 3,000 eases of measles in; Toronto alone, and the outbreak spread all over Ontario, Measles causes more deaths axtutrally than does infantile paralysis; so do diphtheria, scarlet fever, and tuber- culosis. It is a pity our people do not get a little more panicky about some or all of the Hist -named diseases; they are always with us, and cuts short each pear the career of many promising lives - Big $ s Four �•� l o ZURICH Mr and Mrs, Jos, Wickens of near Ingersoll are visitung at the home of the latter's parents, Mr, and .firs. r, Hey Sr.—lir, R.
