Mrs. S. L. B. Evarts. of Main street.
succumbed to the disease at 1 o'clock.
The hey had been ill only a week, the
symptoms having been discovered just
seven days ago. Gladys stagg. who
had been a‘classmate of the Evarts
lad in Room 1, died last week.
Health Officer W. J, Tracey stated
this morning that he has decided not
to re-open Center School today as at

? cases of sore throats existing. and any
. or all of these may develop into diph<
f theria.
’ all grades until Thursday of this week
lat least, this action being taken at a
“precautionary measure. and to permit
the physicians and the health depart-
ment to wait developments. fir. Trac-
ey said that there an been only one
case in the junior high grade of the
school, and that is all probability he
i would open that by Thursday. providg
tug no new cases show up. He, was:
of the opinion this morning that the
lower grades will remain closed until:
after the holidays. oaths maiorlty of
suspicious cases are in those grades.
The doctor said that there is but
one case runnlhg now. He stated that
the mild type of diphtheria is the
hardest to control, and with the know-
ledge of so many threatening symp
toms at hand. he said the only way
to prevent contagion is to keep the
school closed and this be will do until
every danger has passed.
This morning another case of diph-
theria was discovered. The victim is
the little daughter of 'Mr. and Mrs.
