this session, and Saturday the teach

TRUSTEES AND HEALTH OF

Any Child, Teacher or Janitor FaiIIno

Every pupil, teacher and janitor con-
nected with the city public schools

from a reputable physician Thursday
morning or be barred from further at

This was the decision reached in q
conference between the Trustees Of

Health Officer, DR.. Ross; County
County Health Officer, DR.. Robert
Donald and City Health officer, DR..
Summers this morning.
Hattiesburg like the majority of the
towns and cities of the state. has a
number of cases of small pox. though
In mild form, and not nearly so many
cases as sensationalists and alarmists
would make believe. The disease an
peared here month or two since and
there has been a gradual spread of IT
since then, largely among the
colored population, until the situation
mas become sufficiently acute for the
trustees of the city public schools to
feel that some preventive action was
necessary, so the conference with the
health officers was called and the
above action decided upon. A certih-
cate from any reputable physician win
be accepted; and all the physicians OF
the city will be furnished with blanks
on which to issue these certificates.
The city authorities have been work
ing since the appearance of the first
case OF small pox here to prevent the
spread of the disease, but have been
handicapped to an extent by the lack
OF a pest house. All that has been
possible has been to segregate the
patients, vaccinate all members of the
families and fumigate the houses. The
mild nature of the disease here has
tended rather to carelessness on the
part of the patients and the spread Of
the malady.
