HOW CONTRACTION SPREADS.
Children From school No. 6 in Daily
Contact With Disease.

Contagious diseases are rayaging the
old Fourth district and carrying in their
pathway sickness and death. A number
of cases are daily being reported to the
Board of Health.
The children in the schools are having
a bad time of it and almost daily new
cases are found among them. About one
month ago School No. % was closed on
account of prevalence of contagious
diseases. Now numerous cases of scarlet
fever and ~diphtheria are reported from
No. 6 School on Central avenue.
On Monday night eight cases were re-
ported and yesterday six more, making
a total of fourteen cases in two days,
and there are probably others which
have not been reported.
Opposite the school on Central avenue
is a candy and stationery store which
is extensively p~atronized by the children.
This place is kept by M. C. Marquart.
His little son has been sick with scarlet
fever for upwards of two weeks and died
in the room in which he lay. The store
was kept open every. day during the
child's illness. The children from the
school have been much in the store while
the child was ill and have even fingered
in the room in which he laid. The store
was closed today by order of the Board
of Health.

Disappeared.

The flag of School No. 6 is all in shreds
and t~atters, and of late has been unfit
for use. Mr.. Wakeman, the Principal,
allowed his good silk flag, which was a
present from the teachers two years
ago, to be raised Ger the school in the
absence of another during school hours.
The teachers suggested a plan for get

donated money. Now the school has two

new course of study adopted by the
Board of Education the teachers in the
fall give practical lessons, as far as
possible, on leaves and birds. Recently
a sparrow flew into the assembly room
and was caught by one of the boys.
The sparrow served as a specimen for
the lessons that day in three classes,
