HEALTH
On January 11, 1911, we had a case of scarlet fever and on the next day, two more. All three of these pupils had been home for Christmas and had evidently been infected either there, or on the
ears.
They were at once removed to the contagious hospital and developed very mild cases. Except for the tedious quarantine, which was necessary for the protection of the other pupils, they did not suffer at all, and all gained in weight while in the hospital.
On October 20, 1911, Mary Iva Andrews, a bright and very lovable little girl from Mackinaw City, was taken violently sick with some obstruction of the bowels. In spite of the constant attention and hard work of the
doctors and nurse, violent inflammation of the duodenum accompanied by paralysis set in, and she died on the morning of the 22nd. The body was sent to her friends.
Mark Wright, a bright young lad who had been with us six years, was carried off by a sudden attack of Bronchial Pneumonia on February 14,1912.
With the exception of these two sad cases, and a prolonged siege of
mumps in April and May last, the health of the children of the School has been very good:
