IS IT WORTH THE RISK?
I'm not the man to orate on
The death plague of the Flu:
Them's a thousand things I'd like to
tell.
Yet I'll only name a few;
Hut i aunt tn snv some Plain, eold
facts
That stun and catch the breath,
And ak you right out. man to man.
Why court the hand of death? ,
i I ask you. as I've asked myself.
And the question's fair and square.
To explain why I and likewise you
Are forced in disease's lair,
To flirt with he who swings his pole
Willi a line of a thousand hooks,
For the sake of the musty knowledge
of old
That is (stored away in books?

We are ignorant as to whether the

We must fight blindly persistency
wins bear that in mind.
First Flu Germ "Look at that
swell class room full of helpless, un
suspecting students! ! !"
Second Flu lierm "K-e-e e e yah! !
It'a light on 'em ! ! !"
That haphazard spirit of the little
animal-bird microbe is very, very dan
gerous! PUBLIC GATHERINGS must
be suspended absolutely done away
with until the pest has been complete
ly routed and sent scurrying in humili
ating; retreat!
The very conservative estimate of
350.000 deaths in the United States,
due directly to the current" epidemic,
is sufficient argument in itself on
which to base the closing of all PUB
LIC ASSEMBLING PLACES, includ-l
ing our own university.
Can one death be rated, conscien
tiously, as insufficient reason for a
radical closing order? Indeed, not.
A careless cough might bring havoc
to an entire community it is, highly
possible that it could kill a hundred
persons; it certainly would initiate a
a nation-wide epidemic.
Lot every possible means of encour
agement prompting the spread of dis
ease bp looked Into, and the most se
rious measures conceivable be taken
toward positive suppression.
Place the Jirt on everything and then
hit on it! ! !

The death rate during the first vis
