Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Edward Thring, Vol. 2: Headmaster of Uppingham School; Life Diary and Letters An elevated situation gave the place a naturally bracing and healthy atmosphere; what were appar ently sufficient precautions had been taken in house building to secure sanitation a hospital had been built at large expense to provide for the isolation Of infectious cases; and for twenty-two years the arrangements had proved sufficient, with vigilant care, to ward off serious danger. But the school had been built up in a remote and unprogressive country town, whose tax-payers dreaded the heavy expenses of the sanitary engineer. The system of town drainage was very imperfect; the water-supply inadequate; in many cases when building schoolhouses cesspools had to supply the place of sewers; later it was found that connection with the town system of drainage was the most dangerous of all, Since the sewers were un?ushed. Long immunity had begotten carelessness among the townspeople, and even among the masters themselves, and the place was ripe for a disaster-a disaster which from the Circumstances of the case could not but fall with crushing weight upon the school. In earlier years slight outbreaks of scarlet or typhoid fever had occurred in the town at intervals, sufficient to make the masters anxious, and leading them to bring what pressure they could upon those responsible for the sanitary condition of the town. During the early part of 1875 there are several suggestive entries in the diary. February silz. - Much illness in the town - scarlet fever. This is anxious work. I fear we Shall not escape. Most certainly in former days this perpetual fear of epidemics was not on schools as it now is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
