HOBART FUTILE,
Private Secretary.

For the first time in the knowledge of
our health or school authorities, it is deem
ed necessary to close tie Schools both pub
lie, private and Sabbath schools, as a health
preeaution, and adopt strict sanitary mea-
sures to arrest and eradicate contagious
disease in Woodbury. In another column
we publish the official action of the Health
and School Boards ON this subject.
The action of the Health Board will be
thoroughly understood, but some may
deem the resolution of the Board of Edu-
cation denying admission to the schools for
period of four weeks after convalescence,
or a certificate of meteorological examine
tion hardship.
s.-.'l4-s-sIe- adoption Of this rule, the Board
has been guided by the highest interests of
The city. 1t is fact of scientific accuracy
that the bacillus may Jerk, undiscoverable
to ordinary investigation, for a period of
four weeks after convalescence, or be pre-
sent in members of the family not infected.
The Princeton Laboratory is at the service
- the physicians of the state, and an ex-
ation Of cultures may be procured on
lew hours.
To allow children convalescent from the
disease to return to school without enforcing
every method Of ascertaining beyond all
question that they were free there
from would be little less than crime,
and this rule will be rigidly adhered to.
Itcannot be amiss for the public prints to
supplement the warnings of the Health au-
thorities at this time. Every family should
constitute themselves committee on SAM
tation at their own premises. If there is a
foul gutter in the neighborhood Of your
home don't wait for a meeting Of Council
to make complaint, but cleanse it yourself
keep the children at home as much as
necessities viii permit Aid the health au-
thorities in enforcing the quarantine where
infection exists, and we have no doubt we
