A second crop of measles developed in
the schools this week. Since measles
broke out in the fourth grade room in the
High school building the teachers have
been sending home any children who had
coughs or colds. and the precautionary
measure has proved to be well worth
while. About 10 new cases have de-
veloped during the week some being in
the Canal street school, which was free
from them before. All the new cases
have been traced to a dancing school
gathering which was attended by one of
the children who came down with meas
les in the first round. The time is past
for any more cases from the first eX-
posture.
