Anyone wishing a recommendation for
Brattleboro as a healthy town should
consult the records in the Office OF Health
Officer Henry Tucker. For the three
months from July l to Oct. l there were
only is cases of contagious disease repor-
ted and a large part of these were chick
en- poX of a very light type. At the
present time the only dangerous contag-
ious disease in town is a case of typhoid
fever at the Memorial hospital. An in
vestigation of this case showed that the
man came from Bridgeport, Conn, re-
Gently and probably contracted the dis
ease there. This record is excellent
considering that the weather conditions
were unusually bad all through the sum
meT.
The veXed question of choosing a class
pin seems to have been settled in the
high school by decision of the classes
to adopt school pin for the use of all
classes The choosing of a design that
Will suit each member Of a class is a
hopeless-task and many classes have been
nearly split into factions before choice
was maue. The task of settling on a
suitable design for the whole school for
years to come is an even harder one but
once accomplished will be done until a
new order is adopted. The students have
not tried to choose a design for school
PIN, put nave offered to let the decision
rest with the faculty. A pin will be Sc
lected that can have the year Of each
class engraved or marked upon it in some
way.
