Dec. 9.—The American army of occupation marching into Germany has reached the Rhine General Pershing, under date of lastThe public schools of the‘,(ei^ closed one week ago because of thei flu” epidemic, will ; remain ; closed until; Monday, December 30 th. Thii t was decided upon at a special meeting of the Board of' Education at at 10:30 o’clock this morhing.The members of the board wet$ unanimous in the opinion that it would be unsafe and unwise to reopen the schools until after th4 Christmas holidays and a yesolutipi| to this effect was adopted. Tiie^ resolution providing for the re-opening of the schools on the thirtieth, also provides for .Saturday sessions for all pupils until back work is made up.. Supt. R.^I*. Ervin stated that- he believed that all * back ^rork could be caught in before the close of the; present semester ending the first of February and-that Saturday sessions would in alf probability be confined to the month of January.Sine© 395 of pnr scholars were out of school last tveek reported sick w;ith Jnfluenza and colds and since so many parents w*er© keeping 'their children at home through great fear of contagion in the. school .room and. sine© much of the work of the teachers would have to be gone over again because of so much absence, therefore we the Board of Education believe we did the right and wise thing in closing the schools last week as a, means of preventing the further spread of the influenza scourge. While w'e believe, from the reports of th© Board of Health and from what the doctors report, that tl\© influenza is on the wane and perhaps not so much sickness among tho school children as last week, yet w*e do not believe it se.fe or vtfse to reopen t-lio schools at this Urn©for fear there might b© a further spreajd of th© disease. Wc therefore move that we set Monday, December 30th, as tho da to to rpopen all tho public schools in.the city and that they continue in session six days per week until such time as thesuperintendent and board thinkthe back work Is sufficiently brought up so the Saturday sessions can bo discontinued.It was announced that when the schools do re-open, the board will insist that all children be sent to school unless they ttre sick.A copy of the resolution was for-, warded to t\\o Board of Health for approved. The health authorities will also be advised that some ol the local moving picture theatres are not observing the order excluding children and that children are’ being permitted to gather in large groups on the streets and in other public places, in violation of regu« lations.Members of the board reported that they had made diligent inqhiry afl to the sentiment of the public t# general as to the continuance of till closing order and found that parents were almost unanimous in fai ovr of keeping the schools closed until after the holidays.Mr, Joyce read a report from the Board of Health showing 23 new cases of ”fiu” for the 48 hour period, Saturday noon to Monday noon.The board after adopting the res* olution authorized the finance com* mittee to pay the teachers and pej*« mit those who reside out of the city to go home.Bupt.
