Two Upper High Schools Without Influenza Cases

• 14 public health nurses on call. They each make an average of 15 calls a day. The majority of patients are children. Many nurses are working overtime. Any other persons who have nursing training and can offer their services are encouraged to. • Miss Elizabeth Holt, head of the Visiting Nurses: “An average of one-half hour in each place is all they can give.”• Most school-age children are recovering. Only one death among schoolchildren reported for the week. Three under school age children died, along with 16 adults. • No public funerals are allowed in home where there are people sick with influenza. If a public funeral is wanted, it must be held in a public place, like a church. • Dr. Peters will meet with City Manager Barlow to discuss epidemic. It is predicted that schools will be open Monday and the situation within schools will be assessed. • Dr. Peters (speaking on Friday): “There is no doubt a number of children are sick. We do not know, of course, how many of the absentees are sick and how many merely frightened, but there was an added 3 per cent of absence today.”• School closure, if ordered, will probably not apply to the two high schools, where there is little sickness.Newspaper article
