School Notes.

If there is blessing in num-
bers, the Nezperce Public Schools
are well blessed, for, at present
the enrolment has reached ap-
proximately two-hundred and fif-
ty with seventy-two in the High
school which is the highest figure
that was reached last year. AS
the enrolment always grows con-
siderably during the course of the
years this indicates much larg-
er school than before. There are
three less teachers this year than
last and this means less individual
for each student and
hence puts more responsibility on
the shoulders of the parents to
see that their children are keep
ing up their grades.
Few parents realize how much
good can be accomplished by a
little active interest on their part
as to what their children are do
ing in school and how they arc
getating along.
Are you doing your share?

Grim Reaper Visits Flora Home.

Following an illness of infan-
tile paralysis of about week s
duration Russell Lee Flora died
at 6 o'clock on the morning Of
September 81 at the home of his
parents, Rev. and Mrs. Fred A.
Flora, in this city.
Owing to the fact that the all
ment is classified as contagious,
the usual funeral service was
omitted and interment was made
yesterday afternoon in the Nez-
perce cemetery.
The little gentleman was born
is Twin Falls, Idaho, eight years
ago and came to this city with
his parents and four sisters about
year ago, when Rey. Flora took
the pastorate of the Baptist
Brethren church here.
Prior to the attack last week of
this dread disease, the lad was in
good health and the suddenness
of his passing makes greater the
pang to the sorely stricken family
and the shock to the community,
whose heart is touched and whose
united sympathy goes out to the
bereaved ones.

Infantile Paralysis Information,

The following timely informa
ton is being disseminated thru
the press Of the state by DIR. +. w
Almond, medical advisor of the
Department of Public Welfare al
Boise. 1t is important that care.
full attention be given this matter
by the public;
During the months of July and
August and thus far in September
of this year, infantile paralysis
has been prevalent in the states OF
Oregon and Washington with
numerous fatalities.
AS Washington, Oregon and
idaho are closely associated the
disease may spread into this state
and several cases have already
been reported in the northern
part.
At present very little is known
Of the causative agent, but it is
supposed to be due to some micro
organism, causing a general infec-
tion first, later on localizing in
the spinal cord where it attacks
the nerve roots, causing paralysis
of the muscles supplied by these
nerves. 1t is a well known fact
that it is transmitted from one
person to another, but the manner
of transmission is not known.
The disease starts in the same
manner as any fever condition,
may stimulate ordinary intestin-
al infection which lasts for a day
or two, or perhaps only a very
few hours, followed by paraly-
sis, or loss of sensation, in some
part of the body. This may part
Iy clear up and in some instances
it clears up entirely Other eases
result in permanent paralysis of
one or more groups of muscles en-
tirely. If there is paralysis of
the respiratory center, death re-
suits.
The following precaution should
be taken in all cases of children
showing symptoms of fever dis
eases:
