MILLIONS OF GERMS RELEASED.
Terrible Situation at Manual, Due to
Waving Handkerchiefs.
The Manual Training high school students will never again wave their handkerchiefs in appreciation of the programmes that are given in the assemblies.
"A short time ago, after we had used that signal of pleasure," Professor E. D. Phillips explained to the students yesterday, "I received an anonymous letter telling me that I done a very reckless and dangerous thing -- that in allowing the children to wave their handkerchiefs I had filled the rooms with millions of terrible disease germs. I hadn't thought of that. We will now give a rising vote of thanks.
"And next time when we want to wave at a distinguished visitor in appreciation of his talk," he added, "I will tell the students ahead of time to bring clean handkerchiefs and reserve them for this purpose."
