Chances Good for
Centralized School
ON MOTHERS DAY
SOME OBJECTIONS RAISED FROM
VARIOUS DISTRICTS—MATTER
TO BE 8ETTLED SOON
A meeting of representative!* from
IBS various school districts In the vi
clnlty of Amherst was held ut the lo
c.ul high Bchool auditorium or. Monday
night, at which time the matter of
centralizing the schools of these districts Into u lnrge central school was
thoroughly discussed.
Representatives were present from
nearly all districts and voiced their
opinion on the matter. Petitions have
been circulated throughout many of
these districts as to whether or not
they Sit In favor of a centralized
school.
Richard Hansen, representing the
petition from his district, shows that
ull property owners in that district
are in favor of centralizing a school
In Amherst. Practically all of the
representatives of the other districts
stated that they'were In favor of centralization, the only objection coming
from district No. 12. Their-objection
Is that there will be some dlffli ulty in
the transportation of the pupils to the
school, especially In cold weather,
since il is u consideruble distance
uway.
They ure in favor ot the movement
in every other respect dnd several
other representatives stated that they
could' not see that transportation
would be uny difficulty at all because
motor Imsi'H can be furnished to get
the children to school und responsible men to drive them. Those from
district No. 12 Bay that the cross-roads
are In such a condition that it would
lie impossible to carry on any truffle
on them; however, the others are of
the opinion that if the said roads are
In an impassable condition that the
school traffic would be taken. Into consideration when the mutter of repair
ing them wus taken up.
The county hoard of education has
the power to arrange the extent of
tie school districts, but It is their Idea
to get the opinions of the people concerned before taking action and that
is why petitions were circulated
throughout many of the districts, i
The South Amherst board would
like to build u school in their district
und take in more territory, but many
from that vicinity would rather come
to a centralized school In Amherst
than to go to the unnecessary expense
of building a new school there. As It
now stands, un addition to the local
school would be sufficient to accommodate all students. This plan of
addition muy not be the only plan
considered as Amherst is In need of
u larger school.
The matter of centralization will be
settled by the county board soon and
further arrangements on the movement will be given later.

HEALTH
SMALLPOX
Smallpox Is un ucute contagious disease characterized by an eruption of
pimples which occur ubout four days
ufter the onset ot constitutional symp
toots,
Symptoms.
Within 17 days after exposure, the
patient suddenly develops the initial
symptoms—fever, chills, vomiting,
heudache and severe pains in the back.
He muy think he is coining down with
la grippe. Usually on the 14th day of
the disease, pimples appear on the
forehead and wrists. Within 24 hours
these pimples spread to other parts
of the fuce und to other parts of the
body. In general, the exposed parts
ure more profusely attucked thun the
covered parts of the body. The soreB
are deep-seated and feel "snotty."
With the appearance of the eruption
the constitutional symptoms subside.
The patient may wiilk around the
house and yard. He thinks his cold
hus broken und explains the eruption
of pimples us being due to bud blood.
Unless there is u re-occurrence of constitutional symptoms, the patient
iiuicklv recovers. The sores dry up
A meeting of the village Hoard of
Public Service, consisting of H. L.
Pluto, P. I). llurliei and Churles
Hearn, wus held at the electric light
plant Tuesday night, at which time an
Inventory was taken of last year's
work.
The Inventory shows that the valuu-
tiim of equipment, including poles,
wire, meters, etc.. amounts to about
$20.lii)0, und the valuation of the light
plain anil equipment amounts to a
little Bver the same figure, making a
total valuation of about $40,000.
In the past year 87 new meters have
been installed, which means that there
are ST new consumers over the figure
of the year before. At the rate thut
meters are now being Instal'ed. the increase in consumers will reach the
same figure if not more.
In the past year several improvements have been made, one of which
Is the extension of several of the lines
to a point outside of the corporation
line, so that more could have the use
of electricity. At present as well as
in the pust, improvements are being
mude. Larger transformers have been
installed and put into a dlffeerut po
sltion so as not to m»he any'obstructive views. It was necessary to put In
larger transformers so thut better
service could be given the people.
Iu the pust week, work hus been
curried on to remove all light poles
and to put the wires in by means of u
conduit, which will udd to the attractiveness of the street. The poles were
rather unsightly and by means of this
new method there will be no poles on
the business section of Park avenue.
This same method will probably be
curried out on other streets in the
business section us soon us the work
can lie started.
Another matter of coiisiderution
was thut of raising the minimum price
of electricity, which is now fifty cents
a month. Other towns and cities huve
raised the price and the, bourd feels
that it will be necessary to do the
same here. The expense of furnishing meters, wire, collecting, etc., at
the fifty-cent busis, will not cover the
expense. This rulse will only effect
the present minimum price.

sores iu the skin and the discharges of

Before vaccination was discovered
by Edward Jenner (1796). smallpox
was a very serious disease. During
the 18th century, 60,000,000 people
died of smallpox! When vaccination

reappeurs. It Is a good plan to huve
children vaccinated at one year of
age and again ut tbe age of twelve.
In 1806 Thomas Jefferson wrote to
Jenner, "Future generations will know
by history only that the loathsome
smallpox hus existed und by you has
beeu extirpated." A prophecy not ful

To further the plan il will be uec-

Those from district No. 12 Bay that the cross-roads are In such a condition that it would lie impossible to carry on any truffle on them; however, the others are of the opinion that if the said roads are In an impassable condition that the school traffic would be taken. Into consideration when the mutter of repair ing them wus taken up. The county hoard of education has the power to arrange the extent of tie school districts, but It is their Idea to get the opinions of the people concerned before taking action and that is why petitions were circulated throughout many of the districts, i The South Amherst board would like to build u school in their district und take in more territory, but many from that vicinity would rather come to a centralized school In Amherst than to go to the unnecessary expense of building a new school there. As It now stands, un addition to the local school would be sufficient to accommodate all students. This plan of addition muy not be the only plan considered as Amherst is In need of u larger school. The matter of centralization will be settled by the county board soon and further arrangements on the movement will be given later.

ANNUAL CONVENTION OF LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS BOARD OF PUBLIC SERVICE MEET TUES. INVENTORY OF WORK IN PA8T YEAR 8HOWS IMPROVEMENT- MORE TO BE CARRIED OUT LORAIN COUNTY'S HEALTH SMALLPOX Smallpox Is un ucute contagious disease characterized by an eruption of pimples which occur ubout four days ufter the onset ot constitutional symp toots, Symptoms. Within 17 days after exposure, the patient suddenly develops the initial symptoms—fever, chills, vomiting, heudache and severe pains in the back. He muy think he is coining down with la grippe. Usually on the 14th day of the disease, pimples appear on the forehead and wrists. Within 24 hours these pimples spread to other parts of the fuce und to other parts of the body. In general, the exposed parts ure more profusely attucked thun the covered parts of the body. The soreB are deep-seated and feel "snotty." With the appearance of the eruption the constitutional symptoms subside. The patient may wiilk around the house and yard. He thinks his cold hus broken und explains the eruption of pimples us being due to bud blood. Unless there is u re-occurrence of constitutional symptoms, the patient iiuicklv recovers. The sores dry up A meeting of the village Hoard of Public Service, consisting of H. L. Pluto, P. I). llurliei and Churles Hearn, wus held at the electric light plant Tuesday night, at which time an Inventory was taken of last year's work. The Inventory shows that the valuu- tiim of equipment, including poles, wire, meters, etc.. amounts to about $20.lii)0, und the valuation of the light plain anil equipment amounts to a little Bver the same figure, making a total valuation of about $40,000. In the past year 87 new meters have been installed, which means that there are ST new consumers over the figure of the year before. At the rate thut meters are now being Instal'ed. the increase in consumers will reach the same figure if not more. In the past year several improvements have been made, one of which Is the extension of several of the lines to a point outside of the corporation line, so that more could have the use of electricity. At present as well as in the pust, improvements are being mude. Larger transformers have been installed and put into a dlffeerut po sltion so as not to m»he any'obstructive views. It was necessary to put In larger transformers so thut better service could be given the people. Iu the pust week, work hus been curried on to remove all light poles and to put the wires in by means of u conduit, which will udd to the attractiveness of the street. The poles were rather unsightly and by means of this new method there will be no poles on the business section of Park avenue. This same method will probably be curried out on other streets in the business section us soon us the work can lie started. Another matter of coiisiderution was thut of raising the minimum price of electricity, which is now fifty cents a month. Other towns and cities huve raised the price and the, bourd feels that it will be necessary to do the same here. The expense of furnishing meters, wire, collecting, etc., at the fifty-cent busis, will not cover the expense. This rulse will only effect the present minimum price.

General Information. The cuuse of smallpox is not known, but ut present it is assumed to be due to a small animal (cytorrhyctes vurlo- laei The virus Is spread from the sores iu the skin and the discharges of the nose and throat. Before vaccination was discovered by Edward Jenner (1796). smallpox was a very serious disease. During the 18th century, 60,000,000 people died of smallpox! When vaccination and revut i■iiiatlon grow lux, smallpox reappeurs. It Is a good plan to huve children vaccinated at one year of age and again ut tbe age of twelve. In 1806 Thomas Jefferson wrote to Jenner, "Future generations will know by history only that the loathsome smallpox hus existed und by you has beeu extirpated." A prophecy not ful filled but eminently possible. many towns throughout the country. To further the plan il will be uec- insury to provide a fund to cover the expenses, such as rental of property, scraping, grading, laying off of the tennis courts, arranging the baseball diamond, and generally putting it in shape for pructlcul use.
