Manchester, England.—I)r. Rudolf
Degkwitz announces In the Deutsche
Medlzinlsche Woeliensehrlft (an au
thoritative publication! that lie has
succeeded In conferring Immunity to
measles by Injecting a serum prepared
from convalescent patients.
“This may prove to be one of the
greatest epochs in preventive medi
cine," writes a medical correspondent
of the Manchester Guardian. “In tils
Inst series of 1,700 cases Degkwitz
claims that all the contacts Inoculated
were completely Immunized or so pro
tected that the dlseuse was developed
only In Its mildest form and there was
no untoward result.
"If these results are confirmed nnd
the method can be effectively and gen
erally applied, the result should be an
even greater saving of life than has
accrued from Jenner's discovery of
vaccination.
Most Deadly of All.
“Measles, the most deadly of nil
the diseases of childhood, continues
to he the least controllable of the
scourges which regularly affect our
people,” the Guardian's correspond
ent says warnlngly. "With the pos
sible exception of Influenzn there Is
no form of epidemic disease In face
of which preventive medicine Is so
helpless. The causes for this are
mainly two. In the first place the I
disease Is not only highly Infective (
hut its Infeotlvity Is highest before
the symptoms can he recognized. The
child which contracts measles has
three or four days in which to Infect
his family, his friends and his school- j
fellows before it is known definitely
that he Is suffering from measles at J
all. The second cause is public apathy
and Ignorance of the dangerous nature
of the complaint.
"Half a century ago there appears
to have been some Justification for
regarding measles ns a trifling dis
order, something that every child must
‘gel over,' and the sooner the better.
Owing to the operation of the still
mysterious laws which govern changes
in type of disease, scarlet fever, which
was Justly dreaded, has declined In
virulence nnd ceased to he one of the
major dangers of childhood: diphtheria
Is also much milder In form and its
langers can almost he eliminated by
the early use of anti-toxin. But
measles has become more deadly year
by year.
Recent Epidemic.
"The present writer can recnll one
recent epidemic of measles in a Lan
cashire town which slew in six months
precisely the number of children that
had succumbed to scarlet fever In ten
years. Yet It is still not an unknown
Ihing for a mother to put the other
children in bed with a case of measles
•o that they may all ‘get over it to
gether,' and It Is the constant com
plaint of doctors that they are not
called In until the child is blue from
pneumonia and beyond all aid.
"Compare this apathy with the hor
ror of smallpox. Yet, before the In
troduction of vaccination, when small
pox was regarded as the national
plague, the death rate from this cause
averaged 420 per million. In 1015 the
death rate from measles was 1,308 per
million. Neither the governmsat nor
the local authorities seem to have
naked up to the facts represented by
these figures. We continue to lavish
enormous sums of money on the hos
pital isolation of scarlet fever with
very little effect on the prevalence of
tin* dlseuse, hut hospital accommoda
tion for measles is very rarely pro
vided.
"Scarlet fever is compulsorily noti
fiable; the notification of measles Is
optional and, In these days of nnti-
tspending as opposed to true economy,
practically In abeyance."
Night Schoo's in Capital Have Taught
Many Persons to Read and Write
—Laboring Class Is Deeply
Interested.
Mexico City.—Remarkable progress
Is being made in overcoming illiteracy
la the capital, according to informa
tion obtained from the department of
public education of the federal gov
ernment.
During the first three months of the
present year approximately 13,000 per
sons of the lower class were taught
to read and write. This educational
work is being carried on largely by
means of night schools, which are of
themselves something of a novelty In
Mexico.
It Is stated that interest on the part
of (lie laboring class In this education-
I al work Is unbounded. They crowd
the schools to full capacity and there
are hundreds who cannot ns yet be
taken care of on account of the lack
of tenchers nnd other facilities. Men
nnd women of middle age vie with
snndnl-footed youths to obtain enough
Instruction to enuhle them to read and
write. In one of the larger schools
there Is an average attendance of 800
persons.
The tenchlng of the fundamentals,
which Is being done In the schools, is
supplemented by a series of educa
tional lectures that are given In mov
ing picture theaters on Sundays. So
successful has been tills plan of teach
ing the lowly natives the rudtments
of reading and wrltlftg In this city
that the department of public educa
tion plans to extend the work to nil
of the larger cities and many of the
smaller communities of the country.
President Alvaro Obregon has
shown a keen Interest In this new
phase of education nnd has pledged
to provide the nocessnry financial
means for enrrylng it forward.
