TO REOPEN THE SCHOOL
Aiken Street Directors Say Scarlet
Fever is Not Menacing.

The Aiken street school in South
Rock Island, which has been closed for
week on account of the cases of scar
let fever appearing in the neighbor-
hood, will resume its sessions Monday.
The directors state that in their opin-
ion the children are as liable to be eX-
posed to the contagion in the streets
as they are in school. and as there has
been no spread of the disease, they
consider it unnecessary to keep the
school closed longer.
