“Cover the Well Before
|
the Child Falls In”’
AWNING wells in back yards
Y where children play are prac-
tically extinct nowadays, but
the old German proverb still holds
good. Today few children are in
danger of plunging headlong into un-
covered wells: through their parents’
carelessness, but in other ways they
need just as much protection as ever.
Children have little sense of dan-
ger. The normal, sturdy boy does
not fear the open well. Older and
more experienced heads must protect
him by such a device as placing a lid
over the opening and keeping it there.
Many other dangers exist in child-
hood, not so obvious as the open well,
but for which effective lids are at
hand. For instance, no child needs
to have diphtheria today. Smallpox
is another equally preventable dan-
ger. Scientific investigation tells us
that tuberculosis usually begins in
childhood, lies quiet and unobserved |
for years and then flares up in adult
life as the recognized disease fatal to
many.
If we would cover the well as a
protection against tuberculosis we
must keep *the child from becoming
infected with tuberculosis germs; in-
fection usually occurs from close
cortact with active cases. Even the
ancien{s observed that “tuberculosis |
runs in families.” They thought it
was inherited, but we know this is
not true. Whenever it “runs in fami-
lies” it is because the seeds may be
readily implanted in the young body
- when it lives in close contact with a
tuberculous person. It may be a fond
mother, a loving father, a dear old
grandmother afflicted. with what she

calls “chronic bronchitis,” who neg-
lects to cover the well.
Another protective measure is to
build -up the child’s resistance. In
spite of all precautions, most persons
sooner or later encounter the tubercle
bacillus. But if the resistance of the
body keeps the upper hand, the dis-
ease does not develop into its serious
form. This resistance can be in-
creased to a great extent. Modern
science now makes it possible to pro-
tect chlidren against many resistance-
weakening diseases. Modern training
methods help to rear children to be
healthy and strong. They must have
plenty of sleep, well-regulated work
and play, sunshine and good food at
proper intervals. They must be
trained to form health habits.
Because the early stages of tuber-
culosis are usually without signs or
symptoms, the condition remains un-
discovered in many cases until it is
too late. Therefore, it is well to have
the child examined frequently. by a
doctor. The tuberculin test and the
X-ray help to discover early signs
before severe damage has been done.
In a few places in the United
States large groups of school children
have been examined for the early
form of tuberculosis. About one out
of every fifty apparently well chil-
dren were discovered to have it, and
many more were classified as “sus-
picious.” In all these cases steps
were taken to prevent the further
development of the disease—in other
words, these communities are cover-
ing their wells.
So—cover your well before your
child falls in.

the aid of all civic organization will

manner a summary of the State's in-

The Department of Labor and In-|

presenting a call for safety by Governor
Fisher, in which the gravity of the
general accident situation in the Com-
monwealth is presented concisely. The
Governor's call for co-operation of all
citizens in the 1930 safety campaign
directs attention to the great Nation-
al Safety Congress to be held in Pitts-
burg next October. On account of the
congress the customary annual spring
industrial safety conference of the De-
partment of Labor and Industry will
