WHEN IT is AN EPIDEMIC.

The people in cities of this region
who have complained because the
schools have not been closed every
time there were five or ten cases of
diptheria or scarlet fever may be
startled by the theory out which, has
much about it to commend it. is that
of DR.. Hurry. secretary of the state
board of health, in a statement just
issued in which he asserts that the
public schools are often closed when
there is no occasion for it, There
Is apt, according to the doctor, to be
as much danger in closing schools
and allowing the children to roam
about town or city as there is in
keeping the school open. Dr. Hurry
believes that the correct manner to
handle such cases is to employ a ply
stefan to examine each pupil each day
for symptoms of the disease, when a
contagious disease is prevalent. keep
ling those indisposed at home says the
Huntington Democrat. He says that
| ten cases of a disease in a city OF
ent thousand could not be called an
epidemic, but in a city of 1000 il
would be. The idea will be tried in
Indiana cities this year If necessary

Homewood grew. slowly at first for
it was too far in advance of the town,
and then more rapidly. Every time
$4,000 or $4,000 residence was built
it helped to establish the character OF
the neighborhod and to make the
neighboring investments more secure
A spirit of civic pride began to
manifest itself in Homewood. The
lawns were beautiied, Holman street
was widened to meet the demands of
the neighborhood for fine residen-
tial street.
This spirit has grown until now
anyone who would build home on
less than SO feet of property in Home
wood would be criticised until he
would find his neighbors anything
but congenial. A man who would
dare build fiat on Holman street,
south of Carroll street would almost
be the object of attention for vigil
ance committee.
The people of Homewood watch
these things for the reason that they
realize that there is community of
Interest between them. Anything
that tends to lower the character of
the neighborhood reduces the value of
every property in Homewood.
That is why Homewood people
make themselves their brothers
keepers. That is why it is one mans
business what his neighbor intends to
build on the lot next to him. 1t is
this spirit that has prevented people
with dwarfed ideas of the city beauti-
full from coming in and running what
has only been built up by the ex-
penditure of hundreds of thousands
of dollars. This same spirit should
spread to other parts of the city. II
accounts for the high values in
Homewood.

HERE is timely warning from a
newspaper which has oft been reiter-
ated, but 1t won't hurt anybody to read
it again and again:
Now is the time when parents
should know where their children are
panions they have. A little wise and
dfligent solicitude just now when
their children are young will prevent
many paternal heartache in the flu
ture and keep many girl and boy
from going astray."
