public schools. I would be glad to ap-

We desire to reduce the irregular

the very lowest minimum. With the
help of the parents we a do this.
We are building character when we
are the means OF our children imbfb-

We call upon o In the interest
Of your own children, to visit your
schools, help and encourage your
teachers. See that your children who
are above the fourth grade, do a GER
tain amount Of home study, see that
your children are at school every day
and on time. If o think your child
has not been given the proper con-
go to see the teacher, and
IL you cannot adjust matters, then
come to see the superintendent.
With these practical hints put into

MILFORD. Feb. 5.-The long con-
troversy between the doctors Of this
town has at last been settled, or at
least as far as the Board Of Health
is concerned. For some weeks past
there has been an epidemic running
its course IN Milford, and II has af-
fected mostly the small children. The
doctors have been divided upon the
question Of deciding just exactly the
nature of the malady.
Some diagnosed IL as scarlet fever
others held It was German measles
The physicians who claimed 1t was
scarlet fever advised the closing Of the
Milford school, and quarantining the
infected homes. This the Board OF
Health did.
The doctors sent for DR.. A. c. Low
Der, secretary of the Delaware State
Board Of Health, who has had a broad
experience, and whose opinion they
held in high esteem.
DR.. Lowber made an examination OF
the cases in town this week, and has
pronounced It undoubtedly scarlet fever
Very strict measures will be put in
force now by the Board of Health
and all who violate the quarantine
laws will be arrested. The doctors
now have hopes of soon holding in
check the ravages of the contagion.
