OF an Epidemic In the Public
Schools.
The following address has been sent
out by Superintendent H. V. Hotch-
kiss:
Akron, Ohio, Nov. 8, 1900.
To Parents:
Because of the feeling of anxiety
among parents caused by the pre-
sence of diphtheria in the neighbor-
hood of the Henry school, we feel that
it is right that statement be made Of
actual conditions.
Up to this date but four pupils of
the Henry school have been reported
as having diphtherla. Careful inves-
tigation has failed to discover that any
of these pupils contracted the disease
n the schools. All children who have
been absent from school within the
past month because of sickness, have
been required to present physicians
certificates. All pupils troubled with
even slight soreness Of the throat have
been asked to remain at home to await
developments.
Sanitory Inspector Hoye reports I'M
mediately every case, and all pupils
who have been exposed in any way
to contagion are eXclued from school
AS further precaution, and to re-
move every possibility of danger, dur
ing Saturday and Sunday, today and
tomorrow the Henry school is being
thoroughly fumlgated in every part
from basement to garrct. We do moi
believe that there are any dphtheria
germs in that building, but We are de
termined that the existence of a
single one shall be impossible Monday
morning when school opens. Every
officer connected with the schools il
an official way is determined that they
shall be safe as care can make them
Very Respectfully,
III. V. HOTCHKISS.
