RDASHER % Springfield, Ill--Look out for an- other "flu" epidemic this winter. This is the warning being sent out by the Illinois state department of health. In a statement to the public, the department says: "Some health authorities hold that in the light of knowledge of previous proportions with the onset of fall. epidemics of influenza, we may look for another epidemic wave of serious aspects. Others express belief that the disease has spent its force and that developments of any material conse- quence are quite unlikely the coming season. "The Illinois director of health is of the opinion that influenza develop- ments during the fall or winter will be of lesser consequence than the two preceding outbreaks. "Leading authorities agree that in- fluenza is spread by contact with in- fection bearers, and that the chances of infection increase proportionately with the larger number of persons with whom one comes in contact. The really important thing.to do at this time is to strictly enforle the reporting and quarantine require- ments of every case or suspected case of 'summer flu', 'bad cold', sus- picious bronchitis, pneumonia or un- doubted influenza. "Every case or suspected case should be effectively isolated and only the necessary attendant being permitted in the sick room. Visiting on infected premises is strictly pro- hibited. In other words, closely con- fine the infected person and prevent the well from coming in contact with the patient or attendant. Where iso- lation is not propetly carried out gen- eral quarantine must be applied to the premises and all residing there- on. Efficient quarantine is indispen- sable to control of the disease. "Warnings have been issued against permitting any sick or ailing child or one residing on infected premises from attending school. The responsible local authorities should organize an efficient school medical inspection service and have it in operation in order that possible in- fection bearers may be detected and promptly excluded should be taken to safeguard the health of every com- munity." RAYFIELD ESTABLISHES ANOTHER WINNING FEAT The two Lexington cars which won first and second honors in the Pikes Peak Hill climb carried their standard equipment of stock Rayfield model M carburetor. When asking Mr. Hill, manager of the local Rayfield Service station at the North Shore Garage about this gruelling test of carburetor perform- ance he said: "Twelve and one half miles up a steep incline with dangerous turns, which had to be taken slowly, re- quired unusually quick acceleration and reserve power. The outcome of a race of this character depended in great measure on the carburetor, as exceptional carburetion is always re- quired in a severe test of this kind to develop the highest efficiency in the motor. 3 The remarkable part about the per- formance of the Rayfield carburetors in the race, parts of which were run in a blinding snowstorm, was that there was not a single change made in the carburetors as delivered by the Rayfield factory. Most automobile engineers and owners will be surpris- ed to learn that it is possible for any carburetor, set at sea level, to per- form in high altitudes as efficiently as did the Rayfields in this race, with- out a change of any kind. The reputation which Rayfield car- buretors have always had for fine performance under difficult conditions is again upheld." PRIZE BULLDOG USED AS GUARD FOR STILL PROVES HIMELF "N. G." Pueblo, Colo.--Because his bulldog had the reputation of being a first- class "guard" for liquor stills, Max Green is under arrest here charged with violating the prohibition law. Green formerly lived in Denver, where he and the bulldog were well known to the police and enforcement officers. "Whereever Green's dog is there's a still" was the word passed around in official circles in Denver. Special Agent John R.: Smith, of the Denver enforcement squad, was on business here. Passing a house in the residential district he noticed the famous bulldog in the yard. Without hesitation he secured a search war- rant for the premises and was re- warded by the discovery of a still of the latest design, numerous testing instruments, 100 pounds of sugar, 500 gallons of "mash", and fifteen gallons of high proof whiskey. Green's dog was not arrested. than the class system? A--If we were to increase the number of teachers sufficiently, it would be very easy to operate an in- dividual system without much pre- paration. Our problem has been to organize the individual system' in such a way that we would not have to increase our teaching force. This has required a great deal of prepara- tion and is not yet entirely perfect- ed. We have not increased our teaching force, however, except for the usual increase to correspond with the increase in enroll- ment. Under the individual system classes will automatically become smaller because of the lack of re- peaters. The saving to the Board of Education this last year as a result of individual work was nearly twen- ty-fi hundred dollars. This was brought about by the fact that 27 children who under the old system would have had to repeat a grade were able under the individual sys- tem to progress steadily underway and thereby to save the Board of Education the cost of educating them an additional year. This saving, of course, is not immediately evident on the books of the school board. It will make itself felt little by little as the children graduate, and as other | years add their quota to the number of pupils who finish school in from one to three years less time than would be required under the class system of instruction. Fundament- ally, the individual system is more economical of the children's time and effort and also of the actual cost of running the schools. Q.--Why is it that the children come home early every once in 'a while? A.--Occasionally when some meet- ing of unusual educational value takes place in Winnétka it is well worth while to dismiss classes early an! allow the teachers to take advantage of this opportunity. The gain to the teacher is bound to be reflected in her work and will therefore com- pensate for what small loss of time may be involved in dn .occasional early dismissal. Q.--Are children required to take electives? A.--In the upper grades every pupil is expected to carry one elective sub- ject each day. His program has been sufficiently shortened to permit of this, and while the pupil and parent have the widest possible latitude in selecting the particular elective sub- jects, attendance at the electives is part of the regular school work and should be both punctual and regular.
