SCARLET FEW Err.
Its Prevalence Among the Children
of This City.
ONE SCHOOL CLOSED UP.
A Vicious System Which Invites the
Spread Of Contagion.

above mentioned, the question of exclud-
ing from the schools children who re-

merely dangerous, it is criminal. The system for
the prevention of the spread of contagion among the
children should be perfection itself. HERALD re-

give the following table of the number of cases Of
contagious diseases reported by the Board of Health
to the Board Education ending Friday the last
school day of the week.
