Epidemic Of Measles Over 25O Cases Discovered, and Disease Cuts Down
 SchcOl Attendance

New Haven, Feb. 1-The outbreak of measles in this city has amounted almost to a mild epidemic Within the past two weeks over 25O cases have been found, about one-half of which have been reported to Health Officer Wright. This is the time of the year when the disease is most prevalent among school children on account of the slushy walks and damp atmos- phere. and the schools in all parts of the city have fallen off considerably in attendance
 The character of the disease makes It difficult to cope with and prevent it's spread because the period of con- tagion which precedes the appearance of the rash, spreads, too, with great rapidity sometimes injecting a whole school room at time. Fortunately most of the cases are not severe, some of them so light that no physi- elan is called, in, fact which helps the spread, too.
 In some cities primary cases are placarded, but no attempt has been made in this city to segregate those affected. Health Officer Wright said yesterday that if physicians were con suited as soon as the first symptoms make their appearance, a great step would be taken in confining the epi- demic. There has been, however, no talk of closing schools in the dis tricts where the disease has broken out.

 After the service there will be an informal reception in the parish house adjoining the church.
