of twelve men, and a Supt., who
have made such rules and regu.

is tardy three times during a

drop the pupil from school. If
the pupil is absent for 3 days for
other than sickness, she may
drop him. The parent has not

Jackson County Sentinel and my
friends of Jackson County:
Through the kindness of your
editor | hope to give you a few
lines that will probably interest
you.
First, let me- say that l am lo-
Gated in "the land of the palm
tree and vine, +" in the beautiful
city of Brunswick, Ga. Bruins
wick is a very thriving city, To-
Gated on st. Simon's Sound, a.
bout 6 miles from the ocean pro-
per. 1t has a fine harbor and
large ocean steamers from for
eign ports enter it frequently.
The shipping of products from
this to foreign ports is a very
important industry, especially
since the congested condition of
shipping from northern ports,
caused by the war, has caused
shipping to be directed to South
ern ports. principally Brunswick
and Savannah.
Shipbuilding Is an industry,
which is being extensively en-.
gagged in since the outbreak of
the war. | was at the launch.
ing of the first ship built here
last spring. 1t was The Glynn"
named for this county. It was
financed by Brunswick people.
Ii was first loaded with products
manufactured in this city and
made its first trip to Italy. It
was reported to have sunk sub.
marine on its first voyage. The
shipbuilding industry has grown
rapidly. Northern. as well as
government capital, having been
invested. | believe there are S
plants here now, one being Un-
Gle Sans. They are turning
out many ships.
Brunswick has ever seemed
awake to the conditions caused
by the war, and eager to answer
all calls made ubon her. To the
first call of the Red Cross she
subscribed $4,000, and there
were then only 1900 people.
Of course the population has in
creased a great deal since then,
as one shipbuilding plant requir-
es about 1900 men. The Red
Cross here is doing great work
in knitting for the soldiers. We
hope to do even more in the fu-
ture. Brunswick surpassed At
lanta in the buying of Liberty
Bonds, and has done much for
the y. NJ. G. A. Much atten-
tion is now being given TO the
conservation of food, fuel and
light.
In addition to shipbuilding
there are think. about ten 9TH
er manufacturing plants. the
largest of which is the Yaryan
plant. 1t is very immense. 1t
manufactures naval stores and is
IN operation day and night. And
Dy-the-Wa let me say here.
that orders have been received by
the U. S. Maratime Co., direct
from Washington. to put on

and night. Sundays and holidays.

SCHOOLS WILL REMAIN
CLOSED SEVERAL DAYS
UPON MEDICAL ADVICE

The public schools will not be re-
opened this week. This was the de-
cision of the board of education, act
ing upon the advice Of doctors of
the city and the exact dat is as yet
uncertain. y
This action was taken Saturday
evening at special meeting to hear
reports Of conditions, the schaal
board being guided by the medical
men of the city who are In close
contact with the Spanish influenza
plague. while many parents also
favored the continued closing.
The fact that Bemidji has gotten
along so well in preventing the
spread Of the plague is the desire to
continue health conditions now ex-
listing among the pupils Of the public
schools.
Fl. e. Flynn, one Of the state
public school inspectors, was in Be
midi today and was surprised at the
good conditions surrounding the
schools during the plague epidemic.
He said many school systems
throughout the state were still
closed and he commended Bemidji
upon the action it took in promptly
closing the schools, as precaution.
