Tuesday, November 7. The frequent occurrence of diph theria at the New York state reform atory at Elmir.) led the superintendent and his medical staff to investigate its soun e. it was found on taking throat cultures of arriving prisoners that a considerable proportion of them har bored the diphtheria bacillus. When these new prisoners mingled with the healthy reformatory population, epi demics of diphtheria started. An ex amination of a!l arrivals since Novem ber, HU0, revealed diphtheria bacilli in more tha neighty out of 020 prison ers admitted. An isolation hospital ' had constantly to be maintained. In an effort to eliminate an opinion from the attorney general of the state and in structions from the slate commissioner of health which may involve rather far reaching consequences in relation to the rights of prisoners and the duti s of the state and prison authorities re garding the protection of the health of prison inmates. The attorney general expressed it as his opinion that "the health of prisoners sentenced to re formatories is as much a part of the public health, and they are entitled to as much protection from contagious di sease as any other portion of the pub lic," and that it was the duty of the state board of health to take such steps as were necessary. On this opinion the commissioner of health instructed the superintendent of the reformatory to notify jails or pertnl institutions that before being sent to the reformatory prisoners must be examined to deter mine whether or not they are suffer ing from any infectious or contagious disease. The superintendent accord ingly issued such instruction and re quired that, in addition to a general examination for such diseases, a throat culture must be taken and a certificate of health attached to the commitment. The Journal of the American Medical Association says that it will be seen that the right of a prisoner Is recogniz ed to demand protection for his health either from inmates with whom he is compelled to associate more or less closely, or from Insanitary, unhygienic conditions in the prison itself, either from its manner of construction, or from defective care, or from Infection of the surroundings by diseased in mates, for which he no doubt might invoke the aid of the courts. It is as serted that, many penal institutions, particularly the older ones, are hot beds of tuberculosis, and that a long term in them means almost certain in fection. The possibility of other in fections is shown in the instance of diphtheria n the Elmira Reformatory. Vinita will soon have the finest high school building in northeast Oklahoma. Vinita lias always led in the matter of good schools and with this new build ing and equipment will still be in the front.
