FOUR CAsRs OF FEVER AMONG
THE STATE NORMAL STUDENTS
Contracted not at the College but IN Private
Home Where SIX Students
Were Boarding.

Especial to the News and Observer)
Greensboro, n. c., Nov 17-There are
four cases of continued fever, probably
typhoid, among the students of the State
Normal and Industrial College, none of
Of them, however, being among the stu
dents boarding in the dormitories.
There are 800 boarders in the college
dormitories, about so boarders in private
families, and about so students from
Greensboro. The cases of fever were
contracted in one of the best private
homes in the city Six of the college
students were boarding there and four
of them, Miss Barnard, of Currituck
county: Miss Haskell, of Pitt county;
Miss Seagle. of Henderson county, and
Miss Scheduled, of Rockingham county,
were taken sick in exactly the same man
ner and almost at the same time. 1t is
supposed that the sickness was due to
the well water used. All the students
in the college dormitories and in the
college building drink steriliZed water.
All four of these patients have been re-
moved to the college infirmary in order
that they may be better cared for These
are the only patients in the infrmary
and all are getting along very satisfac-
torily.
