TO KEEP PUBLIC
SCHOOLS open
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD
OF EDUCATION WAS HELD LAST
NIGHT TO DISCUSS SICKNESS
WHICH HAS DEVELOPED IN THE
CITY. l

The board OF education held spe-
cial meeting last evening to discuss
the sickness which has developed In
the city during the last few weeks.
President Holt of the board made the
following statement to The Forum to-
day regarding the meeting:
'eThe health officer of the city was
present and stated that several days
ago he notified all the doctors of the
city and county to report to him all
cases OF meningitis and infantile par
alysis OF which they had knowledge.
From the reports of the physicians, and
from all rumored cases which it Is
possible to verify, it seems that there
have been up to the present time pos
sibly ten cases of both diseases. OF
these ten four have proved fatal. These
reports cover a period of six weeks
and the cases have been quite scatter
ed both as to locality and time of de-
velopment. So far, as can be learned
no new cases have appeared during the
last three days and at the present time
these diseases certainly are not cpl
demic.
I'm view OF these facts the board
decided that it would not be justified
in closing the schools. A resolution
was passed. however, to exclude from
the schools all children belonging to
families where either of the above
mentioned diseases have appeared, and
that such children be required to Sc
cure certificate from the health offic-
er certifying to their freedom from all
infection before they can re-enter the
schools.
eve wish the public to know that
the school authorities are paying very
close attention to prevailing condi-
tions, and that they will take every
precaution which any change in the
situation would seem to Justify"

Railroad Notes
SLADE TAKES
new N. P. JOB
BELIEVED THAT HILLS soN-IN-
LAW WILL SUCCEED THIRD
VICE PRESI DENT LEVEY.

st. Paul, Sept. 17.-Persistent reports
are to the effect that Charles M. Le-
vey, third vice president OF the North
ern Pacific, in charge Of operation, has
resigned, and that he will be succeeded
by George t. Slade, general manages
of the eastern division of the road.
Official denial was made that Mr.. Lee
vey had severed his connection with
the road, the statement being made
that he is simply on an extended leave
of absence on account of i'll heath. But
despite the official announcement to
the contrary, it is reported in railroad
circles that such a change in the OPP
Grating department. OF the Northern
Pacific will take effect within short
time
Mr.. Levey is now in the east and re-
port has it that he is making nego-
tiations with another road. He left
st. Paul several weeks ago, presumably
on a leave OF absence in order to re-
cuperate from sick spell from which
he had suffered, but the fact that he is
reported to have been travelling in the
east is taken to mean that he has
severed his connection with the North
ern Pacific. That Mr. Levey does not
in st. Paul Is deducted from the fact
that his possessions have been re-
moved from 623 Summit avenue, where
he maintained his residence. and
Thomas Cooper, assistant to President
Howard Elliot, has taken up his abode
there.
Came From Tacoma.
Mr.. Levey has lived in ST. Paul only
few years, having come from Ta-
coma, Wash, where he looked after
the affairs of the Northern Pacific in
the west end He entered the railroad
service as a telegraph operator with
the Michigan Central in 1871. The year
following he went with the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy and steadily
worked himself up through various
positions in the operating department
until he became general superintendent
in 1887. He was general manager of
i the Missouri river lines of the Bur
! lington in 1906, when he became as
sistant to the president of the North
ern Pacific.
| Mr.. SIade quit as general superin-
tendent of the Great Northern in the
early part of 1907 He had held that
position about five years, prior to that
time having been general manager Of
| the Erie e wyoming and Delaware
Valley g. Kingston roads. He was
! graduated from Yale in the class OF
1898 and entered the railroad service
that same year One of the first jobs
he held was as clerk to the roadmaster
of the Cascade division OF the Great
Northern. being promoted until he be-
came superintendent of the Eastern
railway of Minnesota. He quit that
position in 1899 to enter the service
of the eastern roads in 1899
