submitted to the principal; who will cause these children to be excluded 
at the next occurring recess. Measles, scarlet fever, smallpox, are to be 
reported forthwith to the Central Office by telephone. Every throat 
inflammation or nasal discharge is to be cultured and duplicate culture 
slip forwarded. Each culture tube should be wrapped in its corres- 
ponding blanks and fastened and placed in collecting station before 
2 p.m. on the date that it is taken. 
WEEKLY EXAMINATION OF ALL CHILDREN. 
Once each week the inspector will make a round of all the class- 
rooms, and examine the eyelids, throat, hair and skin of each pupil, 
individually. Any child suspected of having measles, scarlet fever, 
whooping cough, chicken pox, diphtheria or mumps, or having any acute 
catarrhal affection of the eye, nose or throat, is to be sent from the class- 
room at once for more careful examination in the room assigned to the 
inspector.. If excluded, a properly filled out exclusion card is given, 
sealed in an envelope and child sent home at once. Principal must be 
notified of all such exclusions. 
The name of each child found with any contagious disease, of what- 
ever degree, is to be entered on the index card for that particular class 
where the child is found. All details required by the index cards must 
be entirely filled out. In cases of pediculosis, trachoma, acute con- 
junctivitis, scabies, ringworm, impetigo, favus, molluscum contagiosum, 
the name of the child is entered on class index card, and the date filled 
in on which the child was ‘‘ordered under treatment.’’ In these cases, 
the children are given forty-eight hours to get under treatment. When- 
ever they are under treatment within this time, the card is checked up 
with the date under ‘‘under treatment,’’ and the child allowed to return to 
the class. If children are not under treatment in forty-eight hours, they 
are excluded forthwith and checked up under ‘‘excluded.”’ 
When the child returns for readmission, it is to be seen by the in- 
spector during his morning inspection and admitted, if under treatment. 
If not, exclusion is to be continued. Repeated refusals to go under 
treatment should be reported at the Central Office, with all facts of the 
case. When re-admitted, check up on index cards under ‘‘re-admitted.” 
In cases of trachoma, indicate treatment under ‘‘remarks’’ column, such 
as operation, ete. 
If suspected diphtheria has been excluded and culture shows no 
K. L. B., the inspector must visit the case at home, and direct the return 
of the child to school if no new symptoms have developed.
