macy,

EPIDEMIC INFANTILE PARALYSIS
UNDER CONTROL.
(Dubuuue Telegraph-Herald).

Dubuque Telegraph-Herald.
With only a few new cases of in
fantile paralysis reported during the
last ten days, and with many complete
recoveries reported daily by local
physicians, the epidemic appears to
have run it's course here and the city
is expected to be rid entirely of the
disease within a short time. Since
Saturday, July 20, the number Of
cases has decreased rapidly and only
a few are still in existence.
With the ban lifted from the NOV
ing picture theatres, it is expected
that further measures will be taken
soon to raise the quarantine on the
city which prohibits children under
sixteen from leaving. 1t is pointed out
that with practically all danger pass
ed and the city in most sanitary con-
dition because of the various cleanup
activities during the epidemic, it would
be unnecessary to further restrict the
movements of persons in and out Of
the city.
The nature of questions put to Of
fficials here, too, indicates that there Is
some misunderstanding regarding the
state boards quarantine regulations
regarding the departure of persons
living in other towns and cities. It
was explained today that there was
absolutely nothing to hinder persons
over sixteen years of age from entering
or leaving the city and that there was
absolutely no danger. 1t is believed,
also, that the quarantine prohibiting
children under sixteen from leaving
is retained temporarily from excluding
all danger of spread although it is
realized that practically all danger is
passed, and the city is as healthy as
any community in the middle west.
The many additional releases re-
ported again today indicates also that
the local physicians are in position
to handle the situation effectually ard
that within short time it will be
possible to rid the city entirely of
the disease.
The lone case reported today was
that of Baby Knoerschild, 3O7 Grand
view avenue, seven months old.

ELECTRIC RATES ARE BOOSTED.

The Iowa Electric company an
nounces this week that it is again
called upon to boost the rates for
electricity used for lighting purposes.
When the Iowa Electric company
took over the Manchester plants the
patrons were paying 10c per kilowat
for lights. Last January the cam
pany added to this price an Increase
of ten per cent. bringing the price
up to IL cents. Now the company is
figuring the July bills for lights on
the basis of IA cents per kilowat
hour. No increase in rates are to be
made for current used for heat and
power.
The company claims it is justified
in boosting the rates because of the
heavy investments necessary to bring
the local plant up to the present
point of efficiency, and the added
price of coal and freight charges.

Archangel. Nov. 20. - Bolshevik
forces have resumed their attacks
against the American and British po-
sitions at Tulgas on the Dvina river.
They have been repulsed with severe
losses. On the morning of November

their gunboats and barges in the river,
the bolshevik infantry stormed the al

KENosHA COUNTY SCHOOLS.

After some four to five weeks clos
ing of the schools all are again in full
progress and teachers as well as pupils
are ready for good work for the rest
of the year. A good deal of sickness
was reported in the various school dis
tricts but with small loss of life.
A question has arisen as regards the
teachers salary and the making up of
time. One of the important letters to
be discussed at the school board con-
vention held on November Goth, at Ke-
nosha, is the teacher entitled to her
pay? Also the time the school was
closed can not be counted as days at
tendance. The actual days attendance
should be kept and actual days taught.
Suppose a teacher has an enrolment
of eighteen pupils for the twenty days,
or the one pupil for the three hundred
and sixty days. Taught five days in
the second month and the school was
closed for the other fifteen days-she
would count just the five days for the
eighteen or ninety days for one, but
would not count perfect attendance for
the other fifteen days. The school dis
trict will not lose their share of state
taxes when the annual report is sent
with an affidavit that the school was
closed on account of contagius disease.
Section 461, Point No. Each dis
trict clerk shall, and the director and
treasurer may, attend such school
board convention. Each member pres
emit shall be allowed two dollars per
day and mileage at the rate of three
cents per mile each way. The super
intendent shall keep a record of such
attendance and issue certificates Of the
same. The teachers are requested to
be present as important questions will
be discussed A. A. Thomson of the
state department., will have charge of
the meeting. A cordial invitation is
extended to all people and hope the
patrons of the various school districts
will attend. Interest in the rural
school by the various school boards is
helping to build them up to a higher
standard Of attainments. Let us hope
that our educational institutions shall
come up to the full measure of their
opportunity to turn our minds towards
righteousness and wisdom. would
urge all people to continue to give
generous support to their school of
all grades.
Adult war saving societies are being
organized in some of the rural schools
and it is hoped that Kenosha county
will be one hundred per cent. The
w. S. S. in the schools as well as the
Junior Red Cross are doing excellent
work.
