We can protect them from these casual associations while they are in school. To safeguard the health of the chil- hool certain precautions are These must be observed Each teacher is, in effect the guardlan of the health necessar; She can even extend her influence be- yond the schoolroom by impressing upon her puplls with sufficient vivid- ness and thoroughness the things which they need to do to avoid con- tagion.

Send home any children with coughg or colds flushed cheeks and dull listle: ) Send with such children a note explaining your ac- days to | tion, and offering the suggestion that they be put to bed and kept quiet. Children who sneeze are to be regard- ed with suspicion. It is better to send them home pending develop- ments. It is not necessary to exclude children who have brothers or sis- ters with bad colds. The state health officer tells and he has good au- thority for his statement, that there is little evidence of disease carried by well people. “Notity the health officer of cases which you exclude from school. . “Keep COOL.

In fact, several of the local former saloon keepers stated that in the event of the | town voting for license they would not reopen their places of business. | This decision on their part was due | to the increased expenses of main- taining their places of business as well as to the uncertainty of the future. The voting on the town officers was carried out during the day and the | offices were filled ma tly by the re- publican party. The vote polled was about the usual size, decreased a little by the absence of many men in the service. The present selectmen, William J. Johnson and Charles Calor were again elected as were most of the present office holders. The results Assessor. Robertson Board of Relief, Aquila W. Condell . Selectmen. ‘William C. Hart | William J.
