SCHOOLS OPEN
School Board Allowed to Re
sumo Operations Monday.

Teachers aud Children Required to be
! yaecinsted Most of the Children
Have Gathered in-Ne Other Gases
Of Small Pox have Developed Other
News About it.
A meeting of the health board
was hel on Saturday afternoon at
four thirty. After canvass of the
situation it was determined to al
low the schools to open again. This
was the most important bit of work
done by the board
They recommended tc the school
board that the children and teachers
be required to be vacciuated before
they are allowed to take part in the
sessions of school.
The city council is recommended
to get some place which may be
used as detention hospital as we'll
as some place where the patients
who need it maybe treated.
Up to this time many people have
been breaking quarantine and they
should be cooped up in every case
where they break in or out of quar-
antine. 1t is expected that the city
fathers will hit on some place to be
used in this manner. They meet
this evening in regular session.
The action of the health board
was at once communicated to the
school authorities and the word was
sent out. Most of the children re-
ported for duty this morning al
though quite number OF them have
not come in yet. They are expected
in the next few days. Those who
hadn't been vaccinated yet have
been submitted to the ordeal today
and in few days there will be an
epidemic OF sore arms in the schools.
No new cases had appeared since
last week. a couple If suspects are
being watched but the fact that no
cases have appeared for so long
makes people begin to feel good
over the situation. 1t may be that
there are to be no more cases at all.
All sorts of reports are going
through the country over telephone
and they would be funny If they
were not so serious. The people
living out in the country should
have no lies told them when they
call up as many people are telling
them. 1t hurts the town to tell such
yarns as are going. Tell the truth
at all times. Don't get funny and
staff any more stories. =
A meeting of the business men OF
town was held on Saturday night at
Municipal Hall. Ed Herd called
the meeting to order and called H.
l.. Swisher to the chair.
Everybody had something to say
but the meeting took no definite
steps toward doing anything. Some
resolutions were introduced by z.
M. Grant condemning the local
newspapers for publishing official
reports o. the small pox situation
and condemning out of town cores
pondents of city papers for sending
out small pox news.
One of the members stated this
morning that fund has been SUBJ
scribed ard that an expert will be
brought here ii there are any more
cases He will determined whether
it is really small pox. There was
much doubt expressed by the mem
bers to the nature of the disease.
