Whether the Board Of Health
means to refuse future cooperation
with the Board of Education IN
health matters was a point raised by
Miss Beatrice Winser at meeting
of the committee on instruction and
educational supplies of the latter
body last night This matter was
called to the attention of the com
mittee by DR.. George J. Holmes,
supervisor of medical inspection, who
stated he had received a notice from
the health board announcing that tire
school authorities in the future would
have to pay the postage or not re-
ceiye the health bulletins regarding
contagious cases.
Both Frank H Sommer and Miss
Winser contended that the bulletins
Should be sent to the various schools
by the health authorities without the
school board paying the postage. On
motion of Miss Winser it was decided
to have Secretary Robert d. Argue
communicate with the health board
and to ask its members to state IN
writing whether they do or do not
want to cooperate with the school
authorities in this matter.

MED.
