Schools Let Out.


Amasa schools We're suddenly dis
missed for the season this week and
the teachers have gone 70 their
homes. The cause Of this unlocked
for dismissal Is the fact that measles
are prevalent In and about the vii
lage and theshealth officer thought it
necessary TO stop the children congre-
eating In the school room. The board
concluded that itzwould be folly 70
keep the teachers waiting here, as
school was to.let out for the summer
vacation In a week more and they
certainly would not be allowed TO re-
sumo before that period According
ly, the teachers were paid OFF and
school is out for the year.

Crystal Falls boys.
