OPENING IS
 POSTPONED A WEEK
And in Meantime Children Under 16 Will Be Barred From Places
 of Amusement.

Public, private and parochial schools in this city will reopen to all pupils under 16 years of age on Tues day, September 19, according to a. recommendation adopted at 8 special meeting of the board of health last evening. This ruling does not affect the State Normal school which opened today or the local business colleges where the pupils are of more ad- vanced age. Tn addition to the above recommendation 1t was voted to close all Sunday schools until Sunday, Sep- tember 24, and all picture houses and places of indoor amusement will be closed to children under 16 years of age from the present date until Sep- tember 19. It was also decided to bar from school on the opening date any child not a continuous resident of the city for the preceding ten, days.
 The above action followed a long discussion of the infantile paralysis situation. It was decided that as the maojrity of the vacationists had re- turned to the city or would be here within the next ten days that school opening need not be postponed more than a week from the date originally set by the school board. This will allow for the observation period of ten days and to insure that children shall not be unduly exposed during this waiting period the board de- cided to close to juveniles the picture houses and all other places of public resort
 Endorsed by Judge Gaffney.
 That the decision of the board of health to postpone school opening until September 19 will fully meet the ideas of the school board was inti- mated by Judge B. F. Gaffney, presi- dent of the board. who stated that if the health board deemed the order es- sential to the welfare of the children it would undoubtedly be endorsed at the board meeting Friday
