It is unfortunate from any
standpoint when children are
kept away from school because of
illness; doubly so when sickness
is due to preventable causes. No
school need have its attendance
record shattered because of an
outbreak of smallpox or diphthe-
ria. Parents in increasing num-
ber are having their children swfe-
guarded against these diseases in
the first year of life. Likewise,
through child health conferences,
for preschool children, more and
more attention is being given to
work of immunization against
preventable diseases and to tho
correction of dental and other i-e-
mediable physical defects. Such
measures will go far toward as-
suring good health and regular
