IL. Slower made an appointment Tuesday
to meet the pupils from the families in
district No. Z, where the epidemic orig
mated at the schoolhouse to make an
investigation in regard to their condition
and see II they could enter school again.
AS no pupils appeared they went to the
home of one of the families and found
the children qualified to return to school.
The parents said nothing had afflicted
the children and they would not send
them back again. They had to be re-
minded that If they did not comply with
the school law a truant officer would be
sent to look after the children. After
considering the matter the pupils were
sent to school again.
