Health Department
Report
By Dr. J.E. Malone,
Health Officer
We have supplied all teachers in the county with large
placards furnished by the State Board of Health. This placard is a “Guide for
Teachers, Contagious diseases among school children.” This card gives the names
of all contagious or communicable diseases. With this card placed in a
conspicuous position in the school, the teachers and pupils can readily see and know what the Health Department expects them to do. These teachers are
supplied with report cards and all the literature necessary to carry out the
Law.
Now the next most important thing to do, at all the public
schools, is to put in Sanitary Privies, and this is why I have requested the
Chairman of all the School committees to call at my office and let me tell them
how they can put in cheap and efficient sanitary privies. We would like very
much to have these sanitary privies in every home, at every country church and
country store. A committee is coming around to inspect the sanitary conditions
of all the homes. Look out and clean up. The Health officer is not doing this
for spite or any unpleasant feeling, but for your good health.
In a few days we will be ready to begin vaccinating against
Typhoid Fever.
Let all work together for the public health and make a
record this year.
