schools, aud, therefore, adds to the tax
rate.
The Gary schools were closed on &C
count of the influenza epidemic, from
October IL to October 80 and from NO
vember 20 to December is. The expense
of these closures wa great and the teach
ing for the year vas badly di~sorganized.
Closing the schools as a means Of con-
trolling influenza was a waste of money,
as closing Of schools in order to check an
epidemic generally Is. But that far from
states the loss from nonattendance.
In all. 5.446 pupils were enrolled in the
three principal schools, while the daily
tically one-third Of the total enrolled were
absent each day. Ordinary colds caused
3,01S pupils to absent themselves, an ay-
erage of rs days-a loss of 7,545 days.
Sore throats, a first cousin. caused 1.145
pupils to stay away about 2.5 days each,
or almost 5000 days loss. In spite OF
the closure of he schools for q month
and a half, influenza and it's immediate
effects caused GAG children to stay away
from, school.
C%ontaglon made up a comparatively
small part of the total. Diphtheria
caused only 104 to absent themselves.
scarlet fever, Al; measles. 1871; %whooping
cough, 6. and chickenpox. 1863.
These figures are increased when to
them is added the number excluded from
schpol by the school inspectors; 20 were
excluded on account of diphtheria. IL on
account of scarlet fever. 81 on account
of chickenpox, so measles, and l humps.
TIL figures show that diphtheria is
not very prevalent among Gary school
children. Only Is positive cultures were
found among 1,ota tubes inocnlated from
school children. Minor skin roubles were
prevalent among these children.
In one school the nurse gave 227 treat
ments for rlngworm, 1853 for impetigo,
and IA for herpes. Fifteen wore xciuo
from school,. or .absented themselves, on
account of lice, aud the same number
on account of itch.
In all probability the number suffering
from mid forms OF contagious skin
trouble was considerably greater n
these figures indicate.
Within a generation the Importance OF
colds and infections OF the throat and
bronchial tubes from the health stand
point, and also from the standpoint of
waste, will be recognized and something
will he done about it. AT that time the
Importance of good air outside and inside
buildings will be appreciated.

"Gozlan! Robber of my children!"
cried the woman, waving a potato

wild chorus Of protest in Yiddish fol-
lowed. Dozens of other women, whose
wrath had been smoldering for days,
burst forth with a vigor born of their
desperate plight. Heads poked out
from windows. Customers ran from
little neighborhood shops in the midst
of their buying. They, too, had been
haranguing and shaking angry fists at
dealers who dared charge seven cents
for bread.
