“The City Board of Health this afternoon issued an order closing all schools in this city beginning tomorrow morning. Schools will remain closed until further orders from the board. Parents are requested by the board to see that children are kept at home and not allowed to congregate on the street or in public places. Members of the board expressed themselves as feeling that this is most important and the co-operation of the public is asked.”
