HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 3O.-The Free
mont school was closed today until the
first of the week in order that the
authorities might thoroughly fumigate
because of scarlet fever. There are ten
cases at present In the school and a
number of others are feared. All the
present cases are traceable to one boy.
This lad belonged to a family which
had had the disease in light form and
had not called a physician. The boy
was permitted by his parents to go
back to school too soon. Principal
Clark of the city schools said that
while it was not necessary to close the
school that it was deemed best to do
so by the board because the building
and outhouses could be fumigated more
thoroughly. There are no cases at the
Grant school or the high school.
