the three days,, revious to the ap-
pearance of the ash and before the
pupil was aware f the nature of the
illness,
As measles us ally develops with
symptoms of a zillion cold in the
head or chest, w h a mph appearing
on the fourth day and as infection is
very •active duri
this early stage,
parents and teachers are requested
to be particularise, careful to see that
no child attends school or other as-
sembly who is suffering from a cold
until time has elapsed to allow a
rash to appear, and to aid in the ef-
ficient isolation of those who are ill.
It is also requested that prompt no-
tice be sent to the family physician
or a member of the local board cf
health of any 'case, that arises .and
that the making of, or attendance at
social events and other gatherings be
limited as much as possible.
