SCARLET FEVER.
This disease occurs most frequently in young children, and is the most fatal of the contagious diseases. It usually shows itself from three to eight days after exposure. It is disseminated by exposure to patients and may be carried by clothing. Particular care should be taken about disenfecting the rooms in which the patients have been sick with this disease, and all articles of cloth- ing that may have been exposed to contagion, before children should be allowed to return to school. In both diphtheria and scarlet fever, school books that are in the rooms where these dis- eases exist should not be returned to school or used by the pupils, and if the pupil is taken sick in school his books should be destroyed. Health certificates may be accepted by the teacher two weeks after the death, removal, or recovery and disinfection of the premises.
WHOOPING COUGH.
This is a highly contagious disease and is usually contracted by inhaling the breath of the patient. Most cases occur between the ages of one and eight years, but cases occassionally occur in old people who have not been attacked previously. It cannot be car- ried by a third person, hence only those who actually have the dis- ease need be kept out of school. It comes on about ten days after exposure.
As the breath is the principal source of contagion, children - should not be allowed to return to school until they are entirely free from the spasmodic congh.
MEASLES.
A highly contagious disease usually taken through the air, though it may be communicated through the breath. It has some- times been carried long distances upon articles of clothing and thus given to others. From ten to fourteen days elapse from the time of exposure to the commencement of the eruption, and the whole course of the disease is about two weeks. Pupils who have measles, and those in a family where measles have appeared, should not be allowed to return to school until two weeks after recovery.

DIPHTHERIA.
This disease may be imparted to others by a person actually, or lately affected by it. It may also be carried by a person's clothing.
The germs of the disease may also enter the system through the air, through the food, or through the drinking water. It usually begins from two to eight days after exposure.
As soon as a case of diphtheria occurs in a family, all the children of that family should at once be excluded from the school and none should be allowed to return until two weeks after the membrane has disappeared from the throat, and then not until a thorough disinfection of the house and clothing.
