Tho club has expressed approval of the plan. Schools Will Not Close At Present (Continued from first page) are on the streets and thus mingling with crowds. This, according.'to Mr. Morrison Is a far more dangerous situation from the standpoint of contagion than that to be found in the srhools. . ____1 Both* Mrs. Wails and "Mr.'RichaTds are keeping a close watch on the flu situation and should it become more serious the schools will be closed immediately. Should it be necessary to close the schools precautionary measures will have to be extended to Sunday Schools, theatres and other placos where children might be in groups. Dr. Humphries also pointed out that the spread of the epidemic, is due largely to people from other states coining into the community, and it is ^ because of this that he emphasized the fact that children who are allowed to be on the streets and to come in contact with these people run a greater chance of being taken ill than otherwise. Dr. Humphries. Mr. Morrison, Mrs. 1 Watts, and Mr. Richards are mindful ' of the best interests of the children 1 and of the general public and can be 1 depended upon to act wisely in the ' present crisis.
