I would therefore suggest to the Committee the adoption ot
the following rules, to amplify and take the place of the present
"Rule 7."
1. No scholar or teacher shall attend school while suffering
from small-pox, scarlet fever (scarlatina), typhoid fever,
diphtheria, measles, German measles, whooping cough,
chicken-pox, mumps, ringworm, ophthalmia, itch, or
other infectious skin disease.
2. No scholar or teacher shall attend school from a house
where there is, or has been recently, a case of small-pox,
scarlet fever, typhoid fever, or diphtheria, until notice to
the effect that school attendance may be resumed is
received from the Medical Officer of Health.
3. No scholar shall attend an infants' school from a house
where there is a case of measles, German measles,
whooping cough, chicken-pox, or mumps, but children
in departments for older children, who have previously
suffered from the disease in question, need not be
excluded under similar circumstances.
4. Scholars suffering from the following diseases must be
excluded from school for the undermentioned periods :—
Measles or German Measles, for three weeks
from first appearance of the rash.
Whooping Cough, for as long as the whoop
continues and not less than five weeks from
the commencement of the whooping.
