1t is remarkable fact that but
eight rural and seven town teachers
failed to attend this institute. Some
were sick and other were unable to
attend for other reasons. The law re.

teachers to attend or forfeit the two

tended the full time are entitled to
their pay the same as if they had
taught for the two days.

education, Iowa. City, gave some ex-

Teaching of Silent Reading, Recon

subjects. His lectures were excep-

Woodbine Game WaIkaway for Locals
The final home game Of the season
was played last Friday night when
the Denison quintet met the Woodbine
basket tossers. The playing was rath.
err slow and too one sided to be IN
usually interesting. The visitors were
evidently at al disadvantage on Deni-
sons small floor and during the first
twenty minute stretch were hardly in
the game. 49, -. ,E".t -.
Denison worked the ball down the
floor almost at will and every member
OF the local aggregation contributed
literally to the climbing score. Capt.
John Saggau, with eight baskets to
his credit, led his teammates in
punching the point register, while
Hagedorn with six and Gebert and
McMinimee with four each followed
closely. The half ended 46 to Z in
favor Of Denison.
In the second inning Woodbine play
ed better brand of basket ball and
Denison was forced to work hard for
every point she made. The personnel
of the team was changed during. this
half, Boslough taking right forward,
Jensen going in in place Of Gebert,
Rollins in place of Finn and Ed Sag
gau in place of j John. The following
is summary of Denison's scoring:
Field goals, John Saggau 8, Hagedorn

playing against Ames and Omaha COM
mercial the indications were that the,
contest with the, Bluffs would be close
and interesting. ,a'-'': -
The Council Bluffs management had
advertised the Denison game more ex-
tensively than any previous game of
the season. An admission of fifty
cents was charged and record crowd
was in attendance. F'.4 b. =,
Within the first five minutes of play
Denison's floor wor ended and her
team work had grand blow up. The

the fast Denison guards covering their
men like the bark of a tree, the extend
ed enemy received the oval above our
reach and elevated it for, a, fall through

Finn played the. most aggressive,
and consistent game for Denison while

| To the Editor:-The first case Of in,
fluenza reported to the city health de
partment was by DR.. w. B. Morse on
Oct 10, 1918. The following are the
numbers of cases each month up to Jan
1l,l9l9: October, 232; November, 90;
December, 400; and up to January IL,
there was 419, making total of 1856
eases reported and registered.
In the Daily Statesman of jan. IL DIR.
Utter is reported as saying there has
been no quarantine in the city up till
the last two weeks-it is hard to get
under way at first. There was no strict
enforcement under the old regime.
The facts of the quarantine are these
DIR. o. B. Miles, the former city health
officer, who has held the position about
IL years, received the rules and regu-
lations from DIR. Seeley, the state health
officer, Saturday, Dec. 23, 1918, and he
advised trying the quarantine rules
which the state board Of health adopt
ed.
DIR. Miles ordered myself to get quar-
antine signs printed as a rush order
which did and started to quarantine
under the rules we received Monday
noon before the ink was entirely dry.
That was Dec. 25 and we quarantin-
ed 451 cases up to Jan. 7, which the
quarantine book win prove. Placing an
estimate Of $50 cases since Jan. would
be very large for the present health
department to have quarantined and
three men have been On the force near
ly all the time.
The present quarantine system is the
same We started and carried through to
Jan. 7. DR.. Utter says there was no
strict enforcement. The enforcement
was just as strict if not more so than
at present as experienced men gave the
before inexperienced help
was employed and they were drilled
pretty well before going out to work.
So the new regime has simply follow
ed the same rules and in the same
way in regard to quarsntining where
the regime left off and | have worked
three and one-half days with the new
regime irving TO help them as best
could with the quarantine under the
present regulations, which believe N.Y.
self amounts to very little. I believe
luarantining the whole household is the |
'nly system. W. L. BRYANT,
Former Deputy Heslth Officer.

not do it. And she must love him de-

brought that light into her eyes.
