The department of health has succeeded in eliminating various sources of the infection and is able to say that it comes from contamina- tion of food. Whether this contaml- nation is due to a “typhoid carrier,” who is not himself fil, but is capable of transmitting the disease, is a mat- ter for determination. One of the dangers i referendum measure 18 ts that “car riers” of typhoid and of diptheria may attend school and be exempt from any physical examination. No physician can tell in advance of an examination whether a pupil “carrier” of typhoid or diptheria, if referendum measure 13 became statutory law no safeguard for the healthy children would be afforded. ‘The sudden flare-up of typhoid at the Washington State College is a serious matter, Preventive meas ures have been taxen but it Is essen- tial for the protection of those now enjoying good health that the source of infection be discovered. If it is found that a “typhoid carrier” is em- ployed in the preparation of the food in the student dormitories or in the dairy which supplies the milk, co mon prudence will require his re- moval. Had there been a statutory provision for the exemption from physical examination of anybody em- ployed in or about the college, the work of the health authorities would have been handicapped greatly. The health of the community origt- nates in the health of its children. Communteable diseases which can be prevented and unnecessary loss of lives are « stigma upon any com- munity. The costliest commodity in any community ts needless sickness. TM health plays an important role tn lowering the average of school tendance, No child who does not en. joy robust health can enjoy the full {benefits of our system of education. ‘The child who, thru {Il health or for other reasons, falls behind his classes, costs the district more than the child who keeps abreast of bis classmates. During the years 1919, 1920 and 1921, Seattle had 4,601 pupils who failed to make thelr grades and were “re tained.” Thewe children, who are technically known as “repeaters,” were an added expense to the schools.
