with

Considerable

to

was
given
by
Dr.

It
was

by

and
the

Functions
of
the

Included

to

to

was

In
this
connection,

vas
that
every

this
year
should
be

possible.

In
answer
to
another
question
by
Dr.

in
his
report
as
Mrs

Dr.
MacDonald
said
that
chairman.
Informed
the

had

meeting
that
there
was

lighting
but
this
was
seldom
found
in
schools
anywhere.
The
medical
health
officer
had
the
authority
to
close
schools
but
modem
belief
was
that
this
was
not
desirable
unless
as
an
extreme
measure.
Spread
of
communicable
diseases
might
even
be
curtailed
by
keeping
the
well
children
at
school
Instead
of
moving
around
among
possible
contacts.
A

survey
of
the
school
would

quite
a

matter.
Some
such
testing
had
al
ready
been
carried
out
particularly
among
native
children
seeking
to
enter
schools
here
but
no
reactors
had
been
found.
