PUPILS ARE BACK
IN CLASSES TODAY
Among Returning 10000 Are
Some Former TubercuIar
Children, Once Excluded.

They're back at their work today,
the so 1000 or more school children Of
the District, after a holiday declared
three days before Christmas and
which extended through the Yuletide
season. They were sleepy-eyed and
tired, as a result Of their New Year
celebrations last night, and but few
were anxious to gather up books and
return to their desks today. But they
did it, nevertheless.
The teachers expected to get but
little actual work from the Students
today, realizing that fond memories
of Christmas and OF the holidays just
ended would distract their minds for
a while. Consequently they bore with
them through the day. Tomorrow.
however, will be another day, and
different things are expected OF them.
Among those returning to their
studies today were many who had
been excluded in the past because of
tuberculosis, and who had not, until
recently, proved that their bodies had
ridded themselves of the disease.
