Much Sickness in City

The epidemic of grip and pneu-
monia still prevails in the city. new
cases developing every day. Nearly
every industry is more or less Grip
pied by the inroads of the grip upon
their forces and the doctors are all
oSerworked. At the Hollingsworth
Whitney mills just across the river
there are IS to 100 employees out sick,
there are about 100 out from the
Lockwood mills and among the me-
chanics of the Maine Central Rail
road there are 81 sick men One of
the physicians in the city has been
obliged TO cancel his Office hours en-
tirely in order TO take care of the
numerous cases of grip upon his
hands and another was obliged Sat
urday to turn away cases coming to
him because he absolutely did not
have time to make his rounds and
see all the patients he already has.
No particular reason can be as
signed for the epidemic at this time
There has been no more than the
usual amount of sickness during the
winter. but 1t is said to he probable
that the extremely cold weather had
lowered the resistance of the people
to such an extent that the grip germs
found them amenable to the disease

NO GERMAN IN GARDINER
HIGH CURRICULUM

The Literary Digest of March 80
contains quite a lengthy article re-
aarding the dropping of the German
language from the curriculum of the
schools of the country and under the
Maine schools, Gardiner High is
given as one such. This is fact.
The study of German has not been
pursued in this school for several
terms. The reason it was dropped
had its origin from the fact that few,
very few, elected to study it. The
last class had but seven pupils and
classes in it for several years have
heen small. AS vet there has been
no language substituted for it. Pos
sihly, when the city has n modern
High school building, Spanish will be
substituted in its place, though no
definite decision has been reached.
