 Epidemic of Measles.
 During the past few days numer- ous cases of measles have been re- ported to Health Officer J. N. Bull and that official has taken up with the school board the matter of preventing as far as possible further spreading of the disease. As the cases are al- ready we'll distributed Dr. Bull has decided against placing the homes of the patients under quarantine.
 The disease was brought here from out of town and it's spread has been rapid. Gases on Pearl, Broad and North Washington streets and Norton Place and Westwood park have al- ready been reported.
 While quarantine will not be es- tablished Dr. Bull has advised par ents to use their own discretion regard ing the sending of their children to school. Should they keep them from their class rooms to prevent their catching the disease, the physician warns them to keep the youngsters away from other boys, and girls until the danger is passed.
 The school board, through it's sec retary, Rev. F. L. Grant, today issued the following statement: An epi- demic of measles has visited the schools, the cases being so distributed through the community that in the opinion of the town health officer it is unwise to attempt a quarantine Parents will, therefore, exercise their own discretion in sending children to school"
 Dr. Bull believes that if parents use care much can be accomplished to pre- vent further spread of the malady without resorting to quarantine.
