The throat examination in the pub
lie schools on Tuesday showed ID
pupils in the grades who we're quite
badly affected and rs more, also in
the grades, whose Threats were only
slightly sore. This, however, is not
bad, when we consider the hundreds
of pupils who are enrolled and the
slushy conditions which recently pre-
vailed in the streets, easily giving
the little folks bad colds. The high
school showed a splendid record.
Only one case Of sore throat being
found, and that a very mild one.
The physicians stated that all pupils
had been exposed to the scarlet fever
disease and that those whe were not
susceptible would not come down with
it, even if school continued. But as
a precaution the grades were closed
on Wednesday morning, and as next
week is spring vacation, all danger
ought to be over by the time for the
opening of schools again.
