TO THE TEACHERS AND PAT
RoNIZING CITIZENS OF THE
COUNTY ELEMENTARY
SCHOOLS.

County schools met Monday, Dec.
9th, and passed the following reso-
buttons:
~. That owing to the number Of
schools having to close ON account
Of the "Flu," from one to three
weeks, we deem it advisable that the
schools do not take the usual time
for Christmas holidays that has been
the custom, but that they run the
full time with the exception Of
Christmas day. This view is taken
that the schools may not be inter-
rupted any more than can be avoid
ed.
~. That the Board has kept in
touch with the County Physician, DR..
Huffaker, and advised with him from
time to time, and with a number of
other citizens of the county, and up
their advice, we gave the teachers
authority to close the schools if Flu
was prevalent until the danger was
over. We have been very anxious
that just as many Of the children at
tend as can, and that they try to COM
plete their grade; for nearly 1000
boys and girls in Greene County pass
out Of school every year never to
enter again.
(8). Further, that after this an
nouncement if any school Of small
enrolment is compelled to close for
the second time on account Of sick
ness, that the school close for the en-
tire term.
az. That this is the real testing
time for the school people of the
County. At the beginning of the
term we were handicapped by a
shortage of teachers, caused by the
war, but we managed to start all Of
the schools, which many counties
could not do.
Therefore, with the great need of
Education during the Reconstruction
period after the war, we have decided
to run the Elementary schools six
and if there are any COM
munities that want to continue their
schools making a seven months
term, the Board agrees to pay one
half of the teachers salary for The
extened term of a month, provided
the people Of that particular school
pay the other half.
There will be a number of small
schools that we will close perhaps,
even before the six months term is
up, for the reason that the enroll
ment is small to begin with, and
when the. winter weather sets in in
many cases causes the continuance
to be impracticable.
Let us urge the teachers and pa
irons Of communities where the cpl
demic has been severe enough to
cause the closing Of the school, to
use all precaution necessary, but that
they keep in touch with the physician
and let the break in their school work
be just as short duration as is posi-
