SCHOOL HYGIENE AND SANITATION. FuidiGATioN 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 one kind or another in school, but it is not the atmosphere of an "infected school -room" but the mild and unre- cognized eases of communicable disease which spread the disease by contact infection among the children. .It is often found that after great pains and eepense have been taken to disinfect school -rooms that fresh eases appear. as if no precautions bad been taken. The best safe -guards are cleanliness and the simple use of disinfect- ants. The ob;;ects in the school -room which are frequently handled, suck as door -knobs, railings, gymnastic apparatus, toilet fixtures, etc., should be thoroughly cleaned once a week and sane over every tVHAT' SHOULD morning with a cloth wet in (1-40) formaldehyde solu- I3T1 DONF, tion, creosol solution, or weak carbolic solution, Water- closets should be kept scrupulously clean, and the seats, doorknobs, chains, etc., should be disinfected daily in the manner already described. The toilet facilities for many of the country schools are little short of scandalous, The writer is aware that Women's Institutes are doing a great deal. towards the improvement of sanitary conditions itt 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 Boors should be oiled and oil brushes used in sweeping. Blackboard chalk should be removed as much as pos- sible after 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 is easy 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 lettere should be bung up in every school -room. Do not spit if you can help It. Never spit on a slate, floor, or sidewalk. Donot patthe fingers into the mouth. Do not pick I he nose- or wipe the nose on the hand or sleeve. Do not wet the fingers in the mouth when turning the leaves of a boort:. Do not put pencils in the mouth or wet them with the lips. Do not put money into the mouth. Do not put pins in the mouth. Do not put anything into the mouth except food and drink Do not swap • apple -cores, candy, chewing gutn, half -eaten food, whistles, toys, or anything that is put into the mouth. Nevareach cough or sneeze in a person's face, turn your face to one side, Keep your facemea'. and hands clean. Wash your hands with soap and water before INFANTILE PARALYSIS VS. OTHER O01VIMUNICAB,LE DISEASES. Great catastrophes have great lessons, and the greater the catastrophe the greater the lesson, Immediately alter 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 application ef• the lesson should ho learned, but it is seldom done. The suburban railway accident at Queonston last year, the loss of the groat 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 in respect to infantile paralysis which has been the canes of excitement almost approaching panic In some parts of the United States and in portions of this country, though happily we have escaped with about the seasonal average number of cases. Stringent meas- ures were taken h Y our neighbours urs to check the outbreak tb eek i n 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 infect, - tale paralysis with its death rate is trifling compared with the results Prem other diseases in regard to which the public is apathetic. In December of last year there were over 3,000 eases et measles in Toronto alone, and the outbreak spread all over Ontario. Measles. causes more deaths annually than does infantile paralysis; so do diphtheria, scarlet fever, and tube*- eulosia. It is a pity our people donot get a little more panicky ubbiit'' some or all of the last-named diseases; they It
