Scarlet rever and Schools.
Editor of Kennebec Journal:

Editor of Kennebec Journal:
There seems to be no occasion for any
panic in regard to the spread of scarlet fever
in our schools and no reason for keeping pu-
pills at home as several parents are doing.
There has not been a single pupil sick with
the disease from the Grammar school house !;
no pupil from any family where the disease
is present is allowed to attend school The
cases from the Grove street schools occurred
so long ago that any danger of the spread of
the disease in those schools, if it had ever
existed, would have been past some time
since. All necessary precautions are taken
and parents may rest assured that any real
danger of the spread of scarlet fever in the
schools will be met by closing the schools at
once Yours truly, j. 0. w.
