OPEN LETTER 1
THE BOARD OF HEALTH
3 (COMMUNICATED.)
Editor Valley Re ord
“It is the fashion to call public
‘Servants to account but the follow-
is not undertakén in that spirit
* Hundreds of fathers and mothers
are exceedingly anxious about the
continued spread of scarlet fever in
this borough. The disease has been
or less prevalent since De-
cember, and instead of abating
seems to be on the increase, while
some recent cases have assumed a
malignant form and several deaths
have occurred. It] is assumed that
‘houses are quarantined aud fumi-
when the quarantiae is raised.
1a the face of the increase of the
fever it would not seem out of place
| to inquire whether these precau-
tions are rigidly enough carried
out. Again the disease has devel-
oped namely among school chil
dren. What precautions are being
taken in the school buildings ? We
are told that chidren no longer use
each others pencils and are sur-
prised that it ever could have been
possible. For the next two months,
or until the disease is stamped out,
no child should be allowed to take
a book from the school building—
for it is absolutely impossible to
tell into what places they may be
~ taken. Better shorter lessons fora
mark for life.
~ It would seem also no more than
ordinary precaution that the floors
gated at least as often as once a
week.
