PUPILS GIVEN A CHANCE

Owing to the change i'll the marking
system employed i'll the schools, the
pupils, if in the least Industrious, will
not necessarily lose much time while
the schools are closed. The revised
rules provide that pupils absent from
good cause, which includes "quaran-
tine" may make up their work and
take an examination. The eXamina-
tion mark will be used as the pupils
mark for the time that he or she is alb
sent, which, in the present case, inn
plies the time that the schools are clos
ed.
In a short time the pupils will be
permitted to return to school and OBJ
tain their books, which by that time
will have been thoroughly fumigated.
Practically the entire time Friday was
spent in outlining the work for the
period during which the schools will
be closed. The teachers assigned two
weeks work, which, it is believed, the
pupils can very easily get through
with in three weeks.
Apropos of the loss of time it is
question whether the teachers of the
schools closed will fare as well as the
pupils. The agreement signed by them
at the beginning of the term provides
that in case it be necessary to shut up
the schools owing to contagion the sal
ary of the teachers shall discontinue
while the schools are closed

lOllOWS:
"Dr. George A. Stock,
Danville, Pa.
Dear Doctor Your letter of OctO.
Der eth received. The case as cited is
a rather peculiar one and is worthy of
some consideration.
"While it would appear on first
thought that it would be entirely pro-
per to allow the child in question to
return to school after the incubation
period, yet as a matter of principle to
establish precedent of this kind
would encourage parents to rush out
children of the household indiscrimin-
ately whenever case of contagious
disease broke out in the family, and as
act No. 6jS provides the means, and
the only means, by which this may be
done and confines it to immunes we
think it best to obey the letter of the
law and treat this child as having
resided i'll a household where it was in
contact with IA scarlet fever case and
excluded from school under the act for
the same time that it would have been
excluded had it remained in the house
hold and been properly isolated from
the patient that is the child cannot
return to school until the quarantine
is lifted from the house where the case
occurred and where the child lived
prior to its hasty removal
Yours very respectfully,
SAMUEL G. DIXON. "
1t will be noted that the hypothetic.
al case relates to scarlet fever. - The
same reasoning applies to diphtheria.
The case is decided under the act of
May #, 1909
In the case of scarlet fever the above
act provides that any child or person
who is immune from scarlet fever bv

being attcsted by the attending phySi-
cian-may on the outbreak Of the said
disease in the premises in which he or
she resides, be allowed after taking

infected clothing to- remove therefrom
and take up his or her residence in
other premises occupied exclusively by
adults, and may, from and after ten
days from such removal, be admitted

That the celebration of Hallowe en-
in its characteristic features each year
is apt to become an unmitigated nuis-
ance is fact that almost every person
is willing to bear witness to. That
the observance in its characteristic
and Objectionable features has fallen
off in late years is also quite apparent
and is no doubt owing to the han that
has been placed upon disorderly CON
duct, use of chalk, charcoal, SCOT, flour
and the like.
Some very clever disguises We're seen
among the masqueraders on Saturday

different centres of town along with
the clang of cowbells as the latter
were dragged over the paving.
1t was not until about half past
eight o'clock that the mode of celebrat-
ing prohibited by the proclamation of
the chief burgess became in evidence
on Mill street. -Four girls and two
young men, one of the latter, at least,
being from the country, appeared, and
began to use chalk of different colors
indiscriminately. The revelers We're
enjoying themselves to the utmost
when the police happened along and
caught one of the young fellows in the
act. He was unceremoniously waltz
ed'' out to the office of Justice Dalton.
He gave his residence as Roaring creek
and threw the blame wholly on the
girls, who, he said, attacked him first
marking his clothing. He declared
that in self protection he had taken
the chalk from the girls. He did not
deny that he then entered into the
game himself, but protested that he
did not know that the use of chalk
was forbidden, as he had no opportun-
ity of perusing the paper Saturday
morning. Another young fellow, "A
member of the party, accompanied him
to the Office of Justice Dalton and cor
roborated his testimony.

GIRLS BROUGHT UP

At this juncture it became known
that two of the girls concerned in the
affair, anxious to know the fate of the
young fellows, had followed the crowd
to the 'squire'S office and We're stand
ing outside. IN officer went ont and
brought them III. They made no effort
to shift the blame, but declared the
young men were "clalking" rs much
as anyone. The truth Of their t,>,i-
mony was well borne out by appear
anceS. The tall young man from the
country was striped like barber pole
while not only the clothing but also
the cheeks of the girls were ''chg ll,od
red, white and blue.
1t was decided TO discharge the
young man and to hold the girls. The
latter were half hysterical when they
learned that they were under arrest
They readily gave their own names
and the names of two other girls who
they declared, We're using chalk. BY
this time the young fellows had van
ished and the girls were left to face
the music. There was considerable
sympathy for them in their predica-
ment and as it was about ten O'Clock
at night it was decided that they
might depart TO their homes until Mon

discussion in the school board for
years past.
a hypothetical question was pro

"A child is taken sick and III view
of the prevalence of scarlet fever the
parents send school child from home
pending IA diagnosis. The next day the
case is positively diagnosed scarlet
