At each of the schools the work of the physician was outlined and the teach- ers were told what symptoms to look for in the future, to save contagion, and nip any outbreaks in the bud. The regular examination of the school children will not be begun until after the holidays, these visits being merely preliminary, to get the teachers in touch with the situation and make preparations for the coming exam- ination. This will, as in other towns where there is such an officer, consist simply in looking for outward symp- toms of contaglous disease or any Preliminary Tour of Town Schools.

Still Speculating as to Postmaster’s Appointment — Loyal Livingston Lodge Elects Officers. Interest in the Moosup post office at- falr has induced many of the bus- iness men and voters of this section of the town to give their opinions as to Who will be the next postmaster at the Moosup post office. A large num- ber think that Daniel Smith, whom the majority of democrats claim to be a man who is a real backer of that par- ty, will be the candidate appointed and these men- believe that he is the right man to succeed Mr. Sheldon, the present postmaster.. Then there are others here who believe thet Mr, Cur- ran will be the man appointed. They say that Mr. Curra nhas the staunch suppgrt of several state committee- men And Is backed by many business men and voters of the town. Mr. Cur- ran has long been connected with pol- itics in this town, serving on many important committees an holding of- fices of importance and honor. The third candidate in the fleld, Leo Parker, is not known so well in this section of the town, as Mr, Smith and Mr. Curran and the interested people here do not think he will be appoint- ed. A business man from Moosup, who is in favor of seeing Mr. Parker gain the appointment, was in Plainfield yesterday and_speaking of the affair said that Mr. Parker would prove the best man for the office.
