Students are being stricken with this highly contagious illness frequently. Stu dents have suffered high fevers right in the school rooms, and have broken out with the malady within two or three days after going to their homes. Before it could be fully realized, the disease had spread all through the school. All those students who have not been lucky enough to have had the measles in former years are suf fering a cold sweat because of fear that they may be the next ones to be called upon by this undesirable dis ease. " There are several reasons why a student would not desire having this sickness. First, because, there is no fun in having the measles. Sometimes its victims are made quite miserable. Second, the school year is about to come to a close, and if one were to catch this illness it would be just as well for him to give up all hopes of going to school any more during this term. This would not be dis astrous for a student who, has high standing in all of his studies, but for a student who is just above flunking marks, it would bring a great handi cap upon him. , A student cannot master his lessons nearly as well at home as he can at school with the aid of his teachers. Of course this is a streak of bad luck because it may cause the failure of some of the unlucky students in their studies. But, aside from quar antine rules, which are now being rigidly enforced, there is nothing that can be done. As worrying does not do us a bit of good, we shall just have to grin and bear it.
