ease. Mr.. william II. Baum, ono OF the trus-
tees, has sent the following circular letter to
physicians In that part Of the city, to which
the attention OF the parents Is also called:
"Learning that there is considerable scarlet
fever In South Washington, and understand
ing that children have attended the public
schools coming from houses whore there is
scarlet fever, thereby endangering the lives OF
other children, would respectfully ask that
ifyou have any cases of contagious disease
under your charge that you request the
parents TO keep the children living in the
same house from school,"
