Every day Health Inspector Burt adds a few homes to the quarantine list thirteen being the count for yesterday. A number of theories have been advanced as to the cause of the outbreak, the moving pictures, the public dances, the crowds in the stores just before Christmas and the opening of schools being regorded as the general cause. Two of the teachers at the Central school came down during the week and a number of children have also been sent home from that school. In the Lincoln school, the flu has olso made its appearance although all the cases thus far reported are in a mild form.
