UNIVERSITY Of IDAHO IS
AGAIN HOLDING CLASSES

The University of Idaho opened today
in a limited way after being closed three
weeks by the influenza quarantine. All
S. A. T. c. classes and work has BEEN
renewed, but the classes for girls were
not resumed owing to the fact that there
are a few very mild cases of Influenza
among the girl students. These are be-
ing carefully watched and guarded. If
no new cases develop the girls classes
will be resumed within few days. In
dividual instruction i'll music has never.
been stopped at the university as the
girls were taught individually and not
III classes.
There have been no new cases of in
fluenza reported among S. A. t. c. men
for several days and the situation in the
university is regarded as very good. The
men came down town Saturday evening
for the first time since the quarantine
was ordered, but they were given rigid
instructions to not congregate III large
numbers in stores or other places. The
privilege of coming down town will not
be granted to the men from now on until
the quarantine is raised.
President Lindley insists upon a rigid
ODSCl NdlCC vi llllo luiN III oCNSld al iCd-
sons, the chief being that he does not
want to add anything to the situation in
town, which is not as good as it should
be. There are many new, although :
mild, cases in town. The students will
not be permitted to mingle with the
towns people President Lindley said
"The people of Moscow have been
very good in helping at the university.
They have done everything in their
power and have been a wonderful help.
We want to show our appreciation by
doing what we can to relieve the situa-
ton in Moscow and not increase the
work by taking any chances of spread
ing the contagion. I have asked the
students to try to reciprocate for the
very kind treatment they have received
from the people of Moscow and they
will do it."
In the past several days, up to noon
today but one new case was reported
among S. A. T. c. men and 10 haV
been discharged There are now only
Is S. A. T. c. men in hospitals, the
smallest number for more than two
weeks and these are all regarded as mild.
With 800 S. A. t. c. men this showing
S regarded as highly satisfactory
The 13 men in the hospital are now all
confined to the Inland hospital where
hey are receiving the best of care and
will be released soon. All of the girls at
he university are under close quarantine
md will be kept thus until all danger is
,ast
The siege has been a long and hard
me and everyone is worn out. Presi-
lent Lindley is especially anxious to
prevent any further spread Of the disease
n town, owing to the marked shortage
# nurses Many nurses who volun-
eered to take care of the sick when the
pidemic was at its worst, have been
aiken down with the disease or are SO
worm out with continued work that they
ould not stand another siege. Appeals
or nurses have been sent out every
where but none can be had Every. COM
nunity is short of nurses and appeals
ontinue to come to Moscow from other
laces, but Moscow has not enough
urses to care for her own sick if there
hould be any increase.
Schools will open in Latah county next
1onday. Mrs. R. B. Knepper, county
chool superintendent today received a
elegram from the state board of healta
otifying her that the quarantine will be
aised next Sunday, November "a, in
daho, and that schools may open on
Ionday, November rs. Should local
be such that it is thought not
dvisable for the opening of schools at
nat time, the situation will be handled
y the county or city health officers:
Ioscow churches are expected to hold
ervices next Sunday.
