LAKE COUNTY COMMUNITY AND
SCHOOL NURSE ASSO-
CITATION.

During the past week the nurse
has visited several of the country
schools. In every instance the re-
Spouse from the teacher and pupils
has been fine. We made a detailed
examination of each pupil, for phys
ical defects. The records show
about the usual number of dental de-
fects. and eye defects, while the ton
sill cases are less than one would cx-
pect. In each case where a defect
was noted, we sent the parents a note
requesting that the child be taken to
the family doctor or dentist for cor
rection. These notes are to be sign
ed by the doctor or dentist, and re-
turned to the school. The teacher
will make a note of all that are re-
turned and send the same to the
nurse. In this way we will be able
to record all examinations and cor
rections. If any parent wishes to
confer with the nurse In regard to
this work, call at the nurses office,
in the Merchants association rooms,
or write to her.-Merlin Wilkin, r.

PUBLIC ASSEMBLAGE
In MADISON PROHIBITED BY
THE CITY COMMISSION.

A special meeting of the city COM
mission was held at 8 o'clock this
morning to take action looking to-
wards preventing the spread of Span
ish influenza in our midst. DR..
Kellogg, the city health officer, adj
vised that all children under Is years
must remain on their W premises.
The commissioners passed a resolu-
tion for immediate closing of all
schools, lodges, churches and pro-
hibiting public gatherings in any
place in the city. They based their
action on the knowledge that Span
ish influenza is now prevalent
around and adjoining Madison. Five
known cases were reported to the
governing body.
This action is solely a p~recaution-
airy step against the spread of the
disease and many people are of the
opinion that the commissioners have
done just the right thing, and at the
right time. This means that there
will be no church services tomorrow
and no Sunday school sessions.
All the p~oolhalls of the city will
be included in the closing order is
sued by the city commissioners this
morning.
The church officials and school
board of the Seventh Day Adventist
church of this city met this morning
and in view of the fact that the Span
ish influenza is spreading and that
the city will be under quarantine de-
cided to close their school and dis
continue all public gatherings. 1t
was also unanimously agreed to aid
the health officers in checking the
epidemic.
On account of the prevalence of
! Spanish influenza the order calling
for the Lake county Home Guards to
assemble and proceed to Sioux Falls
today was countermanded. Some of
the Winfred Guards were here this
morning to report and felt quite dis
appointed to learn of the latest
counter order.
Order by City Health Officer.

disease of Spanish influenza has be-
come epidemic within this state and
in the community Immediately sur

that cases of said disease have APP

and restrictive measures should be
taken to prevent and control the
spread of said disease.
Now, therefore, as health officer
of said city of Madison, in order to
