In some schools this class is given in a room with a fireβ not a class-roomβnursery fittings are borrowed for the occasion... |
15f4e5e1-d35c-4e01-9d0a-d3732317fafa | The girls are supposed to have the main facts from the instruction in the school; then under the Matron's supervision they carry out the practical work. The lessons are:β 1. Clothing and dressing baby. 2. Bathing baby. 3. Baby's bed, sleep, and outing. 4. Washing baby's flannels. 5. Washing and making baby's bottle. 6.... |

It is easy to find out by a little judicious questioning whether the children have grasped principles, or are repeating vague... |

It is satisfactory to be able to say that the baby recovered ! The value of work of this kind cannot be expressed in statistics, but in time it should show in an increased knowledge of the reari... |
6df98b0a-1a87-409e-8a73-cfdcb1057128 | The scheme works without any friction, thanks to the fact that the Teachers in the schools and the Matron at the creche have worked whole-heartedly for its success. Without such co-operation it could not have been carried through. The Committee pay 6s. a lesson for six girls; that is, 36s. a course of 6 lessons. The Co... |
6e10147c-dca9-49b1-b870-fe7de3c42984 | During the year under review new arrangements were made, by which all children from Scarlet Fever or Diphtheria, and all contacts are examined by the Medical Officers before their return to school. A form, signed by one of the Medical Officers, is sent to the Head Teacher authorising him, or her, to re-admit the child.... |

248587ad-ae92-4744-b064-977442b2c1af | Where the case is removed to Hospital the contacts are excluded from school for 8 days after the removal, and the patient for 3 weeks after the discharge from the Hospital. But every case of Scarlet Fever and every contact is examined before they are allowed to return to school. Last year, in addition to the actual suf... |
a06f7179-2e6b-45d2-9fc5-7431457658c7 | These are the "infecting" cases which give rise to "return" cases, and they also probably give rise to a certain proportion of the school cases where the source of infection remains untraced. What the precise conditions are under which they continue in an infectious condition remain a subject of doubt and debate; but i... |
114361f1-6b39-4acf-b8c6-3ef9d72d4b9b | Basing our action on this experience, every convalescent case is examined before resumption of school attendance, and if any abnormal conditions of the nose and throat exist, an endeavour is made to have this abnormality remedied before the child attends school. If there is a sore present inside the nose, or an unhealt... |
508bedba-4c42-4952-8126-897873150176 | Moreover, the "carrier" case may transmit the disease in a virulent form to those with whom it comes in contact. It is possible that a phenomenon somewhat similar in its character may occur in Scarlet Fever. In houses where Scarlet Fever has appeared, some of the children suffer from a sore throat, but do not exhibit a... |
f5dc6c01-e6b7-4fc8-aa04-15a4ff4edc86 | No undoubted proof of an incubation period of more than seven days has been adduced in the case of Scarlet Fever, and yet cases occur after an interval of some weeks has elapsed since any contact could have taken place with a previous case of the disease. The interval is probably bridged over by an abortive attack of t... |
51ac315f-9838-4dc3-bbb5-82ae2d0770d6 | Acting on this assumption, every school child from a house where a case of Scarlet Fever has occurred is examined at the end of 8 days after the removal of the patient to Hospital or after the disinfection of the premises, and if any history of recent sore 72 throat is obtained, the child is further excluded from schoo... |

Before the end of November the Central Schools had been invaded, and in 1912 these were the schools which suffered most. In December, 1912, the disease had made its appearance in ... |

The figures are, of course, too small to draw any conclusions, but it will be readily appreciated how easily the disease is kept alive in a community, and how difficult it is to stamp out the disease i... |

78404ceb-6d41-4451-bbe7-a40f029d21f4 | The percentage of "class-contacts" who would be found positive on examination is probably a higher one than we are led to believe The mild and the carrier cases are those which it is of the greatest importance to identify, especially in schools, for, if not recognised, the children may go about and prove a source of in... |
