SCHOOL HYGIENE AND SANITATION.
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 -
