TO THE TEACHERS OF
THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

Knowing that great many school
communities are not affected by the
Spanish flu, and after consulting the
county physician, we desire to say
that it is not the opinion Of this
board that it is not best to become
unduly alarmed and lose the nice
weather and good roads to the chill
dren of the rural schools unless alb
solutely necessary.
Therefore, acting under the adj
vice of the county physician, we in
struct all teachers in communities
not affected to open schools at once
and continue until the community
develops cases of a serious nature.
This October 16, 1918.

Startling it may seem, it is true that French
surgeons at times were forced to operate upon
wounded soldiers without the use of anaesthetcs or
surgical dressings.

ton whether her organization and the Red

She says it is impossible for American women to
oversupply the Red Cross with surgical dressings
when there 1000 military hospitals in France
which need help and in addition the civilian
lief stations and the American army hospitals.
When the Germans invaded France in 1914 they

lost the French had to the United States for
hospital supplies. The enormous number of wounded
exceeded their facilities and it is true that some
operations performed without anaesthetics or
