The poultry and bench show at the Ex- position building retains the unabated In- terest of fanciers, and large attendances have been the rule every afternoon and evening. The attendance to-day was un- usual, perhaps due to the free admission of pupils of the Central Grammar Schoal, and to-morrow afternoon the students of the High School wiil be admitted free of charge. It is announced that the next great show under the auspices of the Alameda County Poultry Association will be givel not in December, 150, but & month or so later, this being decided upon owing to birds lacking in size in December, and moreover since old stock Is bad In moit during that month. The poultry show has proved exception- ally eiaborate this year. Among some of the finest exhibi are those of S. J. Hunter of Fresno, whose buff leghorns figure prominently in the list of awards Hunter has one of the finest yards in the State. The Fernwood Poultry Farm (W, J, Dingee) has numerous pens on exhibi- tion, but not up for compeutt George H.

This, coming so soon after Dr. D. D. Crowley's proposi- tion, made before the State Board of Health for the quarantining of consump- tives, is of great importance. The dlscus- slon that followed Health Officer Todd's Suggestion went so far as to bring in the idea that children afficted with tuber- culosls should also be excluded from the free public schools, and President Kitch- | Ings &nd Dr. J. Maher « the Health Board expressed themselves as being very fayorably impressed with both ideas “If I should know that my children weére attending school with other children who are affiicted g 4 with consumption, d Dr. Maher, “I would her take "y children out of school and allow them to 80 without an education until more fa- vorable circumstances presented them- selves. It may be hard to bring the pub- lic to that way of thinking, but that is the way I feel about this matter.” No words of disapproval were uttered by any of the other members of the boa and on motion of Dr. Maher the entir matter was referre to the committee on revalling diseases to make some urther and definite suggestions inat might be incorporated In an or- dinance and submitted for approval to the Board of Education, The committee will not alone Investigate the fdea of excluding teachers afflicted with consumption. but will also take into con- | sideration the advisability and policy of | excluding consumptive children from the schools. Health Officer Todd afterward stated | that the real purpose of his proposition | was the prevention of the employment of | consumptive teachers by the Sc¥|uol De- | partment In the future. |, ‘We have had teachers so aMicted in the department almost constantly,” said the Health Officer. “I can cite one case where a_teacher suffering from consump- tion dled recently and wi-) taught school up to within only a short time of her | death. The nl|l-prlnn of my suggestion as | to teachers would not prove a great hard- | ship at present, for the reason that the | 8chool Department has ne been so free | from cases of tuberculosis affiicted teach- | ers. —_———— | DEFAULTING CLERK DESERTS YOUNG WIFE OAKLAND, Dec. 8—George Willlams, & young man of excellent connections and employed by Henry Cushing, the grocer, has disappeared with several hundred dollars, representing about a day's col- lections.
