With respect to schools to which
children are transported in busses
from widely separated areas or
boarding schools, excluding col-
leges and universities, Dr. Van
Riper said occasional exceptions
may l>e made regarding school
openings. These involve such sit-
uations as when a school is lo-
cated in a high incidence area,
and children are brought into that
area from regions where the dis-
ease is not prevalent.
"The thing to a-k yourself is
what would your child do if school
were not open," he concluded. "If
your child would be ju.-t as ex-
posed to pos-ible contacts through
busses, movies, church attendance
and social gatherings, then ob-
viouf-ly nothing will be gained by
keeping him out of -chool — ex-
cept a disturbance of his normal
pattern of lift*."
Meanwhile the National Foun-
