EXPLANATION.
A number of people have questioned
tne as to the reason why children w ho
have not had the whooping cough are
not allowed to attend school. Whoop
ing cough, from the very onset, is In
fectious, and as a number of the child
ren have l>een exposed, some of them
will develop the disease later, and
transmit it to the other occupants of
the school room, who hnve not had
the disease. These, in their turn, will
develop it and infect the smaller
children at home, who are less able
to withstand an attack. I will state
here that any person who wishes to
send a child who has not had the
disease to school may do so, but they
must assume aii of the responsibility
