TEN NEW CASES
AND EIGHT DEATHS
The List of the Former Is the Smallest
Since the Influenza Epidemic Came
Upon Barre.

1 Ien new cases, probably the smallest
days total since the epidemic developed
late IN September, were reported to the
board OF health this afternoon. Death
took toll of eight persons. The death list

together, conditions are very encouraging.
Inc number of recoveries each day great
ly exceeds the combined total of deaths
and new cases.
The condition is encouraging, vet

progress made thus, eSe.i checking the
epidemic has filleGS Tdy with the false
assurance that the danger is over. Ac.
cording to the doctors, nothing could be
farther from the truth. Unless there are
material accessions to the ranks Of vol
nnteer nursas, the death lists each day
are bound to iengthen and the strenuous
work OF the past 10 days viii be undone.
Volunteer nurses are needed in the hos
pltai. They are needed in the homes, and
II those who are able to volunteer do not
respond, the situation will very speedily
revert to its former grave status. Now Is
the accepted time for offering services
that are sadly needed in dozens Of Barre
homes and at the hospital.
People who have automobiles can per-
form distinct public service by relieving
car owners who have been abroad day
and night for more than a week. Others
who are able TO leave their own homes.
homes that fortunately may be free of
sickness, are badly needed on the front
llne.1 A work of humanity awaits them,
and If there is hesitation the day may
be lost. This appeal is made in the sin
rere and earnest hope that before night
fall many more may volunteer. Those
who realize the great need of immediate
assistance are urged to enroll Notice of
decision to assist in the work may be
forwarded to the city clerks office.
To-day there were many in such con-
iition that possibly their very lives de. |
pend upon capable doctoring and con-

WILL NOT MEET
STATE EDUCATIONAL CONyEN-
TION POSTPONED FOR
ONE YEAR.

Aberdeen, Nov. 12.-Dr. HI. M.
Gage, president of the South Dakota
Educational association, announces
that the 36th annual meeting of the
association scheduled to be held in
Mitchell November 1921, will be
postponed n year owing to the in
fluenza situation. The statewide
quarantine is happily being lifted,
but II has. nevertheless, seemed quite
impossible for teachers generally to
secure leave of absence to attend the
meeting after such a long enforced
vacation. The omission of the 1918
meeting Is a distinct loss to the state.
The more than 5000 teachers who
assembled in annual convention rep
resent the states biggest and most
important business. The meeting
this year was especially important
owing to the fact that the convention
program provided for a thorough
consideration of the education sur
vey of South Dakota now being print
ed in Washington. The survey con-
ference was to be led by III. w.
Foght, survey director; Charles H.
Judd, director Of the school Of edu-
cation in the University of Chicago,
