The tox- oid, which is the immunization against diphtheria, is given to the younger children as they are too young to have a natural immunity and are, therefore, in great danger of getting the disease. The Tuberculin Test is given in either one or two doses. If nega- tive after the first intradermal in- jection, the second dose, with a stronger solution is then adminis- tered. If this second test is nega- tive, it is a sign that the tubercu- losis germ has never entered the body. X-rays of the chest will be given by Dr. Logie of the Florida State Board of Health to all school children in the tenth, eleventh students who have completed the course. ' Four cases of measlés and one of chicken pox were crteported this month. Visits were made and all were reported to the State Board of Health. School:inspections are made at the schools to examine contacts and to exclude any child found with early symptoms of the disease.
