No reason to close school in polio outbreak
Topeka expert Dr. Thomas R. Hood of the Kansas Board of Health says there is little reason to shut schools despite polio concerns. He notes past efforts to curb epidemics by closing schools were often ineffective, though closures might be advised in highly consolidated districts with widespread attendance if officials fear rapid spread. Health officer Dr. C Henry Murphy agrees schools are likely safer than extended summer play, while the state board reports 24 new polio cases, including five in Topeka and single cases in several towns.
