THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSED. Every pre-
caution has been taken to prevent the spread
OF dlphtheria from the single case reported.
The family have been quarantned, and all the
school buildings thoroughly fumigated. A
physician says that the two younger members
had the disease in very mild form, are not
likely to have it again, and that no danger
from them is to be apprehended. AS usual in
such cases great many unfounded reports
are in circulation as to the treatment, ETC., and
it should be sufficient to say that the patient
received the best of medical attention and that
all the precautions necessary in such cases
were observed. Alonzo J. Knowlton, secretary
OF the school committee, makes the following
announcement:
| meeting of the school committee was held
| Monday night to consider the question of clos
| ing the schools for one week because of the
| appearance of diphtheria in Belfast. At the
| request of the committee the members of the
| board of health were present and stated that
while there was no necessity for such action,
as precautionary measure it might be we'll to
close the schools. The committee therefore
! voted to discontinue the schools at the North
| and South Primaries and on the Common for
| the remainder of the week.
i There are no cases now in the city and if
none develop the schools can be reopened next
Monday with perfect safety.
