If the counties paid the full cost of educating pupils from rural dist- ricts, the cost per day for earch pu- pil, city or otherwice, would be 841% cents.

Happily, since the death of one child at the beginning of the outbreak, there have been no fatalities. Parents are asked to cooperate with the department in this matter. Chil dren complaining of sore throats, es- pecially if accompanied with any sign of running a temperature, are said to be showing svmptoms which, while not peculiar to the disease, often indicate the first stage of diphtheria. At that stage, by prompt action, the child can be saved from the grave results which follow neglect, it is point- ed out. Oshawa's diphtheria epidemic is such small proportions as to be hardly worthy of the name, but parents can render effective serve in the mat- ter by letting no symptom of further development escape their attention. ™Wo TOU RISTS | KALLED Sherbrooke, Que..
