ONLY ONE INFLUENZA
CASE REPORTED TODAY
SETS NEW LOW RECORD
No School Will be Attempted
for Another Week, Allowing
Epidemic to Run Course and
Assuring Uninterrupted Ses.
sion.

Only one new influenza case was re-
ported to the health officials today for
quarantine making the low record for
new cases since the outbreak OF the
epidemic 10 days ago. Patients who
have been confined 10 their hoDess an
der quarantine for several days are
being released as rapidly as the off
GERS can get around after being notifi-
ed by physicians.
No school will be attempted for an
other week, however. the board decid-
cd this morning at a special meeting.
Il was the consensus Of opinion that
"A rcopening Of school permaturely
would possibly result in a second clos
ing order, whereas another week of
vacation. allowing the epidemic to run
its course, might place everything in
order for uninterrupted sessions.

Most of the local teachers who were
taken sick last week are reported con-
valescent and some were out today for
the first time. The board believes
that not so much work will be lost by
continuing the vacation as by a possi
bile return Of the present condition and
will give teachers and students another
week in which to recover.
The local telephone exchange is feel
ing most severely the effects of the
situation, about 60 per cent OF the ope-

All auxiliary members (the county
and local historical societies within

and outside of Iowa large number
of exchange repositories scattered
from Massachusetts to the state of
Washington are on the mailing list.
Publications go into Canada and over
seas, to England and Scotland, and
to Paris, France. where one Of the
