While there is another case of small
pox in town no one feels alarmed and
the people think that the disease has
been most successfully handled, not to
allow it to spread any more than it
has. Sam Curtis has a case though
is not very sick, but enough to know
it is small pox. Only a few people
have been exposed and they were all
quarantined at once and as they have
all been vaccinated, but little if any
danger is imminent. Mr. Jump is
past all danger. The quarantine rules
are the most rigid and if the people ex
posed will be honest and assist those
who are controlling the matter, the
disease need not spread any further.
The schools still continue and people
go about their business feeling- as safe
as though there was not a case in
town. The people know that those in
authority can be trusted and the quar
antine laws will be enforced. Since
the cold weather is broken people come
to town and there seems to be agener
al expression of satisfaction, that there
is no danger.
