Kindergarten Olosed
As   the   third  pupil  in   the   Public
School became ill  with  scarlet fever
Saturday4, the Sewickley kindergarten
was closed Monday morning to re-open
April _st, unless other cases appear in
tho meantime. A note was sent home
with each of tho kindergarten pupils,
announcing the closing and requesting
parents to insist that tho children
remain at home and not play with
other children.
School officials aro not alarmed at
the slow spread of tho disease, although
tho school physician and nurso are
redoubling their vigilance and sending
children home at the first symptoms.
Unless quarantines aro more strictly
enforced, closing tho cntiro school
Would not stop the epidemic, as''children aro exposed by playing with other
children and medical aid is not summoned until thoro is no no doubt that
tho child lias the disease. In school,
the daily chock enables parents to have
troatment started when tho symptoms
first appear.
