January 12, 1928 School Health Notes The health condition in regard to contagious disease is about the same. New cases are appearing at the rate of about one each week. The disease as yet is mild, but it is well to remember that the late winter months is the time for diseases to become more severe. The months of February and March are given as the period when diseases take their greatest toll because of the lowered vitality of the people and the type of weather that is common. Many are taking the scarlet fever vaccine. The reaction is not severe, and the injection is almost painless. It is well for everyone to investigate thoroughly, as we have disease with us and the time for it becoming severe is not far away. Notify your doctor or call Mr. Hollingsworth if you wish your children vaccinated.
