School Notes.
There are 315 pupils enrolled in
the Ely High School so far this year.
This is the largest enrolment in the
history the institution. There are
60 more girls than boys enrolled.
DR.. Green of the State Health De-
partment took throat and nose cult
ures of all pupils and teachers in the
High School last Thursday. The
majority of the patients stood the
operation in genuine Spartan man
ner but few of the more delicate
souls were decidedly affected.
The report of the cultures was
received Monday and showed six pos
tive cultures in the High School.
The six pupils may not have diph-
liberia but it is an indication that they
are carriers of the disease germs.
Consequently, the pupils themselves
and their parents should see to it
that no one is exposed through the
negligence or carelessness of the
pupil. Until all evidence of the. dis
ease has disappeared from the pupil
he or she should remain in strict
quarantine.
Odds and Ends.
Ask Mr.. Englund why the police
refused to lock those naughty tick
teachers in the cooler Halloween.
