 The new cases make the total rec ported during inc present epidemic 5l. There arc now 2i active cases in quarantlno, seven Of whom are at the isolation hospital.
 Health superintendent Richard w. Pullcn does not favor the closing of schools and factories as means by which the spread Of smallpox may be prevented, believing that it is advan- tageous 10 the city 10 have both operating as they afford the only check the department noB has.
 In the schools the teachers can keep in close touch with the pupils and when one is away from school because Of illness the health depart. mcni can be advised at onco and diagnosis Of the case made h thcr. has been smallpox the class can be given such safeguards as are pos siblo. Had the sick child been otii of school hr might Dc mtnging with others for many days before inc case would be finally found and diagnosed and the direct contacts could not be found with certainty.
 In the same way. the factories can look out for cases Of sckncss and the same procedure followed.
