successfully. But
It must be ad

school imposes a

is the increased

Contagious dis

are far more
prevalent in win
ter time. But the weather factor is
not important—it is simply that In
the winter time human beings are
crowded together and contagion is
more easily spread.
Children, of course, are notably
more susceptible to contagious dis
eases. For nearly all of these dis
eases the curve of immunity during
the life of the individual shows that
for the first few months of life im
munity is high; few infants acquire
any contagious disease; probably be
cause their blood is saturated . with
Immune substances from the moth
er’s blood. After at least the first
year of life this passive immunity
disappears, and from one to five
years they are likely to catch any
thing. After five years, due to ac
quisition of some diseases, and con
tact to others, immunity rises; at
ten years of- age probably half as
many are susceptible as at five. This
process goes on until at twenty adult
immunity is established and oniy
about 5 per cent of the adult popula

might break out any time with ter
rible violence. As to when it should
be done, it was recommended at the
last session of the American Medical
Association that the infant be vac
cinated on the first day of life. The
result is milder than at any later
period. At least such a position in
dicates that vaccination should be
done by the end of the sixth month.
Typhoid fever vaccine should also
be given—during about the third or
fourth year. Typhoid has been re
ported as early as three months, but
it is not until after five years that It
becomes common in childhood.
Typhoid is almost a disappearing
disease, but my newspaper this week
tolls me of an epidemic among the
personnel of Ringling Brother’s cir
cus, so the menace is still with us.
Diphtheria, most malignant of
childhood’s enemies, can be prevent
ed in a similar way.
Whooping cough, more dangeroue
than it sounds, can also.
For measles, the commonest, we
have no protection to offer.
The scarlet fever preventive has
been disappointing.

A o Rigid Growth Standard

must be made very flexible if they
are to include all normal infants.
Development is not uniform in all
individuals. Hereditary influences
begin to make themselves felt, and if
a child is going to be a small adult,
his rate of growth is not the same

size.
Weight and height are, however,
the best general standards of normal
