But how may the parent know
when it is safe for the chikl to go to
school on both these counts?
There are certain symptoms, any
one of which, if present, should auto-
matically decide this question.
Among these symptoms are the fol-
lpwing*- -
; 1. Fever

3. Diarrhea
4 ^Severe abdominal pain
5. Earache *
6. Discharging ears
7. Discharging sore eyes
8. Paroxysmal -cough, especially if
coughing spells are followed by
vomiting and always if followed by
whoop
S. Severe colds, even when no fev-
er is, present

how to take the temperature, and
that they should possess a reliable
clinical thermometer. The method of
taking the temperature and of cleans-
ing the thermometer to prevent the
carrying of infection to others, may
beat be learned from .the family doc-

were often kept at home because of
the fear of thnir contracting some
contagious disease. With a health
