HIGH SCHOOL MATTER.
Committee Took No AC-
tion Last Night.
FIVE MEMBERS ABSENT.
Scarlet Fever Guarded Against in the
Garden Street District.

Only three members of the School Board
responded to Chairman Tobie's call last
evening to discuss the condition of the
High school.
Mr.. Tobie explained to those present the
situation as he understood 1t. He thong hit
1t better In the interest of care to close the
school and call a meeting as soon as possi-
BILE. Explaining the secrecy which was
maintained he said he did not think that
the committee to tell any and everybody
about the case before he had an opportu.
nifty to tell the committee.
II was not deemed 'advisan nile to take ac-
tion on so important matter with 30 few
members of the committee present, so the
matter was continued to an adjourned
meeting to be held Saturday afternoon
next, at 5 O'Clock.
A case OF scarlet fever In the Garden
street school district under somewhat pc
culiar circumstances was reported. A
family has 10 It one child from this disease.
An older brother of this child had been
living with his grandfather. At the time
this child was taken I'll the other children
were also taken to the home OF the grand
father and were, OF course, associated more
or less wit n the Older brother, who was
attending school. Recently another child
has been taken i'll and has been moved
back TO the fathers house, leaving the
older brother still at the grandfat hers.
The two houses ara close together and
in the. same yard. The committee con-
sidered that as the older broth her had been
quite as much exposed as the one recent
W taken III, and as the two families are
able to more or less intercommunica-
tion, living SO closely together, 1t wor Id
be on the side OF safety not to allow the
older brother to attend school, and it was
so voted.
The Board adjourned until next Satur.
day afternoon at 8 o'clock.
