PROVISION WANTED FOR
SOUTH GEORGIA DEAF
No Direct Recommendation
For Branah of School
Atlanta, May 26.—While no direct
recommendation for a South Georgia
branch of the Georgia School for the
1 Deaf is made by the 1913 board of vis-
itors to Cave Spring, yet attention is
, called to the fact that children in tin
southern part of the state are debar
red from the present institution on ac
count of its inacessibility.
The board of visitors therefore reco
mmended that there are many children
I
in South Georgia deprived of the ad- j
vantages of the school on account of l
its inaccessibility that the legislature
“make provision for them.”
This may be taken as meaning the
establishment of a branch, or simply
the providing of means for the chil
dren, now out, to get into the school.
Only five members cf the board made
the trip to Cave Spring. They were
John L. Herring, of Tifton; Dr. J. U.
Bennett, of Jefferson; John Awtrey, of
Marietta; R. O. Ross, of Wilner, and
Dr. E. H. Richardson, of Cedartown.
Editor Herring, of Tifton, was in At
lanta today, en route home, and he
spoke in very complimentary terms of
the Cave Spring institution and the
| long and faithful work of its head,
Prof. W. 0. Conner.
“it is a splendid state institution and
it is an inspiration to visit it and see
what is being done for the unfortunate
wards of the state. 'The children idol
ize Prof. Connor, so he must be th »
right man there. But he should be
provided with an assistant to relieve
h■ m of much of the burdensome detail
and heavy work. He is advanced in
years, although still vigorous and
hard working. But I think a grateful
state should relieve him of much of the
burdensome detail and heavy work.
I nder no circumstances do I favor r.
change, for he is the right man there,
and it would break his heart to take
him away from active participation in
the work to which he has devoted the
ripeness and fullness ot long and use
ful years.”
As four of the five visitors were from
North Georgia, the recommendation?
relative to provisions for South Geor
| gia children can not be ascribed in any
j sense to sectionalism, but it is evident
(to the most observant that the need
jof relief along this line is urgent. The
I committee at the same time made it
J plain that it did not favor anything
that would in any way take from or
hamper the work of the school at Cave
Spring.
I The board also followed the recom
mendations made by the board of vis- !
itors last year by urging an industrial'
department for the negroes. Prof.
| Connor said that it would be compar
latively easy to develop farming, gar
j dening, orchards and other pursuits
on the forty acres of land owned by
the state there, at a nominal cost tor
original equipment, after which the
I work would probably be more than
» ls-supporting.
A recommendation is also to be made
removing the present age limit for en
trance to the school. Now the line u
at seven years, and the committee be
jlieves fom ytars would be proper.

Leesburg, Ga., May 26. —Work will
be resumed soon, according to the an
nouncement just made here, on the
uncompleted link of the Andersonville-
Thomasville highway within Lee coun

' completed, though it was brought with
in two miles of Leesburg from Smith
vine, going south.
This two-mile link is about all of the
road that has not been completed, asi
the road below Leesburg to Albany is 1
in excellent shape. The two-mile ling
referred to would have been complete ! j
also, if there had not been a road in
good shape from that point to Lees
burg. A force of twenty convicts will
be put to work upon the road very
soon, and it is hoped that only a short
time will be required to finish it.
The remaining squad of convicts are
at work repairing the damage done .it
Wright’s bridge by the freshets this
spring. It will require some time
longer to complete that work.

HOW DANGER LURKS
IN GERMAN MEASLES
Itself Comparatively Harmless,
It Often Serves as Deadly
Disguise for Real Meas
les and Scarlet Fever.
Atlanta, Ga. —If an innocent-looking
and apparently harmless little ail
ment comes tapping at your door this
spring, and says “I am German
-Measles,” don't you take anybody's
word for it except that of your phy
sician.
“German Measles’’ whose other
name is “Rubella,” is a mild-man
nered fellow himself, who will likely
not do you any harm, but there are a
couple of grand rascals masquerad
ing in his guise, and if one of them
gets into your house there may be
trouble. One of them is named true
measles and the other is scarlet fe
ver. Both are exceedingly dangerous
guests, according to the Georgia
State Board of Health, and have of
ten accomplished their most dire re
sults when carelessly mistaken for
rubella.
Os course nobody wants to have
German measles if he can help it,
and when the disease breaks out in a
community, the State Board of Health
urges that all the regular precautions
against any epidemic be taken; but
the principal danger lies in the fact
that the other more serious diseases
may he mistaken for it.
For many years German measles,
which is sometimes also called
French measles or roseola, was con
fused even by physicians with meas
les and scarlet fever, as the skin
j eruption sometimes resembles the one
j and sometimes the other. But Ger
! man measles is now recognized as
j an entirely separate and distinct dis
; ease, which bears no relation what
ever to the regular measles or scarlet
fever.
It is Highly Contagious.
While not a dangerous disease as
compared with the two latter men
; tioned, German measles is highly con
! tagous and persons attacked with it
suffer from maiiy of the unpleasant
symptoms that accompany true meas
les. Single cases are seldom seen.
The disease usually makes its appear
ance in a community in epidemic
form. The winter and spring months
I are the usual times. German measles
| can be communicated during the en
, tire course of the disease, but is most
j contagous during the earlier stages.
The only persons immune are infants
under six months, aud persons who
! have already had it. The fact that
i you may have had measles before,
gives you no immunity from German
I measles, nor does an attack of Ger
man measles protect you from meas
les germs in the future.
The first thing to do in a case of
German measles is to make sure
I that it is really German measles. A
simple method of diagnosis, after the
rash appears, is to see if the glands
at the back of the neck are enlaiged.
If they are, it is probably German
measles. But this mode of diagnosis
I is not always sure and the only sa.e
I plan is to have a doctor.
| The diagnosis once established,
there is ve.y little danger from Ger
man measles, it usually runs a miid
course, and if the patient receives
the proper attenion during the attaca,
, there will not likely be any comp.ica
tions or after effects.
The treatment is simple. The pat
ient should be isolated to prevent the
spread of the disease; should be put
to bed and kept on a liquid diet. Tue
physician will sometimes prescribe
such drugs as the circumstances may
demand; or in some cases no medi
cine at all may be needed.
Course of tEie Disease.
After one has been exposed to the
disease, it usually takes ten to twenty
days for it to develop. The appear
ance of the rash is usually the omy
first symptom, though it may be ac
companied by catarrhal symptoms
and a general ’sick” feeling. Fever,
if present at all, is usually slight.
The lymphatic glands at the back of
the neck are nearly always swollen.
The rash usually appears first on
the face and then spreads; but in ex
ceptional cases it may appear first on
any part of the body. Sometimes it
appears as small pimples, sometimes
as large pimples, and sometimes in
large irregular reddish splotches.
The eruption usually lasts three days
but sometimes runs to six. Convales
cence is exceedingly rapid, if proper
care is taken of the patient.
in stating that German measles is
a mild disease, two things must be
borne in mind; first that it is highly i
contagous and that just as much care I
should be taken in its isolation as in I
any other epidemic disease, and,
second, that like many other intrin
sically mild diseases it can easily
enough result in serious complications,
if not treated with reasonable care. I
In caseß where the epidemic breaks
out in a community, the usual precau
tions should be taken by the families
In which the disease appears, and by
the local health authorities. Isolation,
and the sterilization by burning, boll-1
ing or fumigation of everything that
comes in contact with the patient,
are the principal precautions.
