District school on account Of scarlet
fever. This was done March IT and
the building was thoroughly fumlgat-
ed few days later. The pupils from
the Windham County Children's Home,
who had been quarantined and away
from school because of an epidemic of
scarlet fever since Oct. 1, had been re-
admitted to school March 1. They
had been at school only two and one
half days when 1 closed the building
again, as indicated above. The new
case is one of the Home children, who
had not, however, been at the Home
during the epidemic. She evidently
had the disease the last day she was
at school. which led me to take the
prompt action which 1 have reported.
Two other children. who had been liv
ing in the same family with this girl
have also contracted the disease and
all are being cared for at the Chill
dren's home. This will necessitate
the absence from school of all children
at the Home until the quarantine is
removed. Two children in another
family in this district are also in quar-
antine because of scarlet fever. This
will leave only 10 pupils to report for
work. if no new cases Of scarlet fever
develop in the district, when schools
open for the new term April u
I have also to report that four or
five cases Of diphtheria have appeared
among the pupils of the lower grades
at the Israel Putnam school. 1 hope
that the vacation of next week may
check any further spread of this dis
ease.
A Parents Night was held at the
High School March 26. which proved
to be, in all respects, very enjoyable
and successful. There was very
large attendance of parents and
friends of the school.
Schools closed Thursday afternoon,
April 1, for the spring vacation. Ses-
sions will be resumed Monday morn
