of DR.. Chapman, a member of the local
board of health, closed school until next
Monday. Owing to several new cases of
scarlet fever developing it was thought
best to take every precaution to safeguard
the health of the children. The school will
undergo a thorough fumigating. Upon the
opening of school next Monday, all pupils
will be examined and any of them show
ing any symptoms of the malady will be
sent home together with any other mem
bers of the family who may be attending
school. Checking up on the absences in
the lower grades it was found thar thirty
one were absent from one cause ~ an
other. 1t is believed that a number have
symptoms of scarlet fever but try to get
by without a doctor for fear thar it will
be pronounced scarlet fever and they
would then be placed under quarantine in
their homes. Little Jane Masten was one
of the first cases discovered and a quar-
antine placed on the home, however, her
case seems to be a very nild one, 50 she
is getting along very nicely.
