NELSON COLLEGES
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
NELSON, This Day
In view of the outbreak of infantile paralysis in other parts of the Dominion the Nelson College Council of Governors decided last night to postpone the closing of the Girls' and Boys' Colleges for the second term holidays from May 12 to May 26. As Nelson is practically the only centre in the Dominion free from the disease members of the council felt it would be unwise for boarding pupils to travel home to various parts of the Dominion and return. It was hoped that the epidemic would abate with the approach of colder weather. The Minister was communicated with and expressed approval of the action taken. A second positive case of infantile paralysis has been admitted to the Nelson Hospital, the patient being a man 21 years of age from Owen's River, a remote locality 50 miles from Nelson, where the first case was reported on Friday.
