SUGGESTED BY BANDMASTfR

Of Students Of Both Sexes Who
Have Been Studying at Amer
lean Conservatives.

PnriS.-An American conservatory
of music soon will be established ut
Fontainebleau as the result of the ac-
ton Of the Eontainebleau municipal
council. which voted subventiOn Of
100000 francs for the creation Of the
school. The suggestion was put for
ward by Mr.. Francis Casadesus. pres
ident and conductor of the Paris or
chestra, and the French minister IT
public instruction has set aside for
the school the Louis Nv wing of the
national palace Of FOntainebleau. 1t
will be Il summer school and the first
session will begin July l. 1920.
Mr.. Casadesus spent seven months
at Chaumont. the American headQuar-
tiers of the 4. Il. f.. teaching instr,l-
mentati0n at the American army
bandmasters' and musicians school
created by DIR. Walter Damrosch ut
the request Of General Pershing.
Suggested by casadssus.
Mr.. Casadesus first conceived the
idea of the school after the American
school at Chaumont completed its
work. He planned to place the courses
Of the National Conservatory OF
Music in Paris ut the disposal Of tho
Americans. His friends discouraged
the idea, on the theory that Paris
with all its attractions. was not the
proper place to study music, as the
temptations to waste time were toe
many for students.
Following a recent meeting between
Mr.. Casadesus and Mr.. Fragnaud, sub
project Of Fontainebleau and great
lover of music, the historic place was
selected.
The municipal council unanimousl!
voted the 100000 francs, which vii!
he added to by French donations to b<
expended for proper lodging ant
board facilities.

If There Is Recurrence K win Not

Last Winter.
NO POSITIVE PREVENTIVE
Previous Attack Brings Immunity In
Percentage Of cases-Enforee.
ment Of Sanitation and Avoid
ance Of Personal Contact
Necessarv Precautions
Authoritative Statement Issued by
United States Public Health
Service.)

Probably. but by no means GER
tainly. there will be a recurrence
of the influenza epidemic this
year.
Indications are, that should
it occur. it will not be as severe
as the pandemic Of the previous
winter.
City officials. state and city
boards of health. should be pre-
pared in the event of recur-
renee.
The fact that a previous at
tack brings immunity in a Ger
tain percentage of cases should
allay fear on the part of those
afflicted in the previous epidem-
ic.
Influenza is spread by direct
and indirect contact.
1t Is not certain that the germ
has been isolated. or discovered,
and as Il consequence there is
vet no positive preventive. ex-
cept the enforcement of rigid
rules OF sanitation and the avoid
ance of personal contact.
A close relation between the
influenza pandemic and the con-
stantly increasing pneumonia
mortality rate prior to the fall
of 1918 is recognized.
1t is now believed that the dis
ease was pretty widely dissem-
mated throughout the country
before it was recognized in its
epidemic state. This failure to
recognize the early eases appears
to have been largely due to the
fact that every interest was then
centered on the war.

ity occurring in June and July. the
second and most severe in November,
the third in February and March.
Data, which need not be cited here in
detail. Indicate that the course of the
epidemic in western Europe generally
was similar. In the United States the
epidemic developed more largely in
single wave during September, DC.
tober and November.
The prevalence Of a serious epidem.
ic Of influenza was first recognized in
and around Boston in September of
1918. Within about two weeks 1t was
general in the Atlantic seabonrd, de-
veloping little later among cities fur
ther west. Rural districts were usu-
ally attacked somewhat later than
large interests in the same sections.
In the cities east of the line Of the
Appnlachfans the excess mortality
from pneumonia and influenza during
the weeks ended September IA, 1913,
to March 1, 1919, was approximately
SO per 1000; in cities between the
Rocky mountains and the Appalachi-
ans 4.35: and in those of the Pacific
Coast 555 per 1000.
Concerning the important question
Of immunity conferred by an attack
of influenza, the evidence is not con.
elusive. but there is reason to believe
that an attack during the earlier
stages Of the epidemic confers a con-
siderable. hut not absolute immunity
In the later outbreaks.
Transmitted by Contact.
In general the pandemic of influenza
was largely similar to that of 1SS9-9O
in its development. first mild form.
later on severe worldwide epidemic,
In the rapidity Of its spread and its
high case incidence. 1t has however
been notably different in Il much high
err mortality. especially among young
adults. Such evidence as has been
gathered confirms the conclusion pre-
viously reached that it is transmitted
directly and indirectly by contact. It
appears. probable, however, that the
infection was already widely dissem-
mated in this country sometime be-
fore Il serious epidemic was recog.
nized
Despite the fact that there is still
some uncertainty as to the nature of
the micro-Organism causing pandem-
ic influenza. one thing is certain, that
the disease is communicable from per-
son to person. Moreover, judging
from experience in other diseases. it
is probable that the germ. whatever
its nature, is carried about not only
by those who are i'll with influenza,
hut by persons who may be entirely
we'll. Everything which increases per-
sonal contact. therefore. should be re-
garded as ii factor in spreading intlu-
enZa.
Much was heard last winter OF the
use of face masks. Though the use of
suitably constructed masks will reduce
