Of fear on the part of parents whose
children attended school in the rooms

suffering with diphtheria contracted

and were taken out Of school before
the cases developed. John News ten
year old boy is expected to die. He
has not been In school this year. A.

children are doing as we'll as could be
expected. They were taken out of
school at the FIRST symptoms OF sick

days before their ailment was pro.
