NEWS, oETHe CITY SCHOOLS

Wild flimors have been rampant
for the past week, to the effect that
the schools were to be closed at once
because most Of the scholars were
sick with the influenza. While the flu
appears to be making a second visit
to Cakes, and as before, a number of
the scholars have had it, at no time
has the attendance dropped to as low
percentage as the records show for
several weeks last fall while the out
break was dying down.
The poorest attendance Of the
spring was on Monday of this week.
The percentage Of attendance on that
date fell to an average Of 86 per cent
for the entire school. Investigation by
the school authorities disclosed the
fact that the IA per cent of absences
was divided as follows: Less than 6
per cent were out of school because
OF sickness Influenza, colds, sore
throats, etc., and the remaining 8
per cent were out for other reasons
(work. playing hockey. relaxation
from strenuous studying, and even
because they believed the rumors
that school was closely
While the larger portion Of the
absences have been in the high
school, the records show that most
of the grades have some. This In
dicates that the school is not re-
sponsible for the transmission Of the
flu to any appreciable extent. If 1t
were, 1t would be natural to expect
that most of the classmates Of those
having it would come down. AS a
matter Of fact, the cases reported are
scattered throughout the scholars,
only a few to grade or class.
The work Of the high school has
been interrupted to certain extent,
because Miss Bruins was out for four
days, and Miss March has been un-
able to attend sessions since Monday
noon up to the time Of writing. Most
Of the classes have been carried on,
either by other teachers or some Of
the advanced pupils. Harold vinkle
and Frances Root are worthy Of
mention in the latter connection.
