PERMANENT ELEMENT. 38 THE DEAF Taking these tables also collectively, we findin respect to scarlet fever a decline in all theschools, this being especially pronounced in thecase of the Ohio. In meningitis, however, thereis an increase so heavy as to call in question theaccuracy of the earlier records; and it is possiblethat it failed to be entirely recognized then. Inmost of the other diseases, as in the previous case,no very great change is perceptible. In generalfevers a decline is apparent in all, in most beingconsiderable; and probably several diseases wereformerly included which are now listed separ-ately. In measles rather a decline is found inthe American and Ohio schools, but a slight in-crease in the Iowa, and a somewhat larger one inthe New York Institution.
