NOVEMBER REPORT Os HEALTH COMMISSIONER Two cases of scarlet fever and .six of diphtheria were reported dur ing November. These were quar antined during November. No deaths ocurred from ojther of these diseas es. and we believe both are reason ably well under control. We have completed the examina tion of 315 school children, exclu sive of (hose two schools examined but nnl yet ready for record. Analy sis of the examination made reveals conditions worthy to he considered. Os 269 children weighed, 200 were found to ho under the standard weight; 75 of them lacking between ten and thirty pounds reaching the standard. This condition should arouse much interest in parents. In some cases il may be due to disease but often to imperfect ventilation, use of tobacco, etc. fib Wren should hove plenty of milk. Coffee is a val uable stimulant for adults when properly used but is it" ' ' children; tobacco and “dopes" are much more hurtful .1 suggest a close supervision (hat these harmful hab its may be eliminated and (hat chil dren may be required to sleep with open windows and to cat. whole some food. Bad teeth are almost universal There are some minor skin diseases especially poorly cared for scalp, a rather large number of bad pos tures which can soon be improved wilhthe physical training n«w re quired by the school laws.
