GOOD HEALTH BY DR. LLOYD ARNOLD Professor of Bacteriology and Preventive edicine, University of 11linois, College of Medicine, SCHOOL LIFE A HEALTH ADVENTURE CHOOL In the minds of children and parents of children is a health adventure for all. Diring the summer, children are usually in a good state of health. They spend most of the time out of doors and so store up sunshine. Outside of a few digestive disturbances, cansed by sunburn or bad water on some camping trip or overeating of picnic food, they have been quite generally free of ailments since early last spring. Now how will they stand the fall and winter, housed as they will be for hours a day with some forty other children coming from as many different femily environment? Will they be ex- posed to some disease, such as diph- theria, scarlet fever, whooping cough, or measles? Will there be an epidemie of colds? Will some child in the room show signs of tuberculosis, making You uneasy for the health of your own? Particularly is school a health ad. venture for the child of five or six | years who Is entering for the first | time this new life of education, and | who has never before been in close | contact with other individuals than | his own family group and his neigh- boring playmates. It is a critical time | for this little John or little Mary. | Every one gets accustomed to the In- i visible bacteria In one's own home. | When a child starts school, he or she | has an established community of bac- | terial life In the covering layers of | the nose and throat that is much like the bacterial life in the covering lay- | ers of the nose and throat of the oth. | er members of the family. Now he enters another germ world complete. | ly. Each child transfers the germs from his own body through hands, | pencils, coughing, sneezing, loud talk- ing and shouting, to the nose and | throat of other children. The school | and recreation places become clearing | houses for the exchange of the bac- terial flora of the upper respiratory | passages. ’ If your child has had tonsilitis, ade- | noids, or chronic sore throat, he or | she will carefully collect, preserve and grow all the newly acquired germs | from the forty or more other chil | dren. If your child, on the other hand, | has a nose and throat that are per- | fectly normal, these organs will fune- tion so as to tend to destroy most of the new invisible visitors. As a result there will very soon be established a | different kind of bacterial flora in | the nose and throat which is harmless to the child. Your physician can de termine whether your child's nose and | throat are normal. Abnormal and dis | eased tonsils and adenoids should be corrected before a child starts school. | Diphtheria ean be prevented by vac cination. You should have your child immunized or vaccinated against diph- theria for the following reasons: First, | to prevent an illness that terminates fatally about once among every ten or twelve cases of the disease. Diph- | theria is a very serious ailment, one | of the most serious a child encoun- | ters. Diphtheria is avoidable and it is | useless to subject your child to this | hazard. Second, you should want to | protect the other children in the school against getting diphtheria from your child. During the period | of sora throat before the actual croup or diphtheria develops, a child | spreads thousands of diphtheria germs, and Is a serious menace to the | health and even the life of his play- | mates. Third, vaccination will pre- | vent the heart, kidneys or ather body organs from damage which may de- velop as a consequence of the dis. | ease. Recovery from diphtheria may | leave irreparable damage to vital | body organs. Recently Doctor Arm- | strong of the United States Publie Health Service reported that children vaccinated against diphtheria enjoy a resistance to other diseases more than unvaccinated children. It is a protection you should give your ehild, Have your dentist see that your child has no decayed or defective teeth that will give trouble during the school year. The dentist can an- | ticipate toothache and can repair the damage before the pain begins. And he can ald In advising diets to make healthier and stronger teeth. Also see that your child's eyes are not defective. A child does not know whether he has or has not good vis fon. Ohlldren who cannot see the printed line clearly do not recognize bad eyes as the trouble because they have never enjoyed correct vision. Batisfactory and rapld progress of your child In school will depend more upon his or her state of health than upon the teachers, books or system of instruction. In educating our chil dren we spend a lot of money for buildings and thelr maintenance and for the teaching staff, only too often forgetting the Importance of health in ‘the process. A properly trained school physician who devotes to his duty enough time to locate these chil dren who need help represents a wise investment. He can do a multitude of things that will prevent illness and ‘ald a child In adjusting himself to his school environment, However, no matter how much health supervision there is In the schools, the health of the child is | primarily the responsibility of the parents.
