NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. II, 1891. J
Board of Health City of New Haven:
COMMUNICATING to the prevalence of conta-
gious diseases in various parts of the city, and on
account Of the necessity of great care in the
thickly populated districts to prevent the spread
of such diseases, we, the committee on schools of
the New Haven city school district beg leave to
call the attention Of your honorable board to
what seems to us to be inexcusable laxity on the
part of the authorities and to city instances that
would indicate criminal negligence on the part of
some physicians of the city. We have evidence
at this Office of cases of scarlet fever where
not only was no notice sent to the schools
but where, as we are reliably informed, the
death certificate was the first notice received
by the health officer. Other cases have come
to our knowledge in which, in utter disregard
of public safety, children from the schools have
been allowed to enter the house and
view the remains of those who had died
of diphtheria. We feel it incumbent upon us
to take every precaution against the spread of
these diseases in the public schools, and are
not inclined to censure any one unjustly, but we
constrained to raise the question to
where the blame for this negligence rests. We
would urge the necessity of the strictest
observance of the existing laws and if the ordi-
rances of the board of health and of the city
are not sufficiently stringent, let proper legis-
lation be secured II the officers and author
tiles in charge are at fault let them be called
to account
Yours respectfully,

SIX-DAY SHIRT SALE.
What should a Shirt BEG
A decided difference often be-
tween what it SHOULD BE and
what it Is.
We have worked to find out
what that SHOULD BE is. The
knowledge didn't come in a day.
but we've got it.
To wear we'll shirt must abb
solutely fit. The inevitably con-
slant friction of a loose fit will
play havoc with the best mate
rial.
To be a joy not forever, but
for a reasonable length of time,
shirt must be a "thing OF
beauty"
Many a garment is thrown
aside before half-worn because
it's "ugly."
A well-made coat, hat, pair OF
boots, anything almost, has years
more life than bad one, from
its very make alone. Nothing
offensive about its old age.
Whatever natural advantage:
come to the best-made shirt art
embodied in these, besides addi
tional ones that belong to NJ
others.
Those reinforced patent indie
structible buttonholes and paten
endless gussets are secrets O
success in themselves. The,
count considerably in the wea
and fear.
