Schools Plagued By New Flu Outbreaks Hammond Boy Dies Reportedly Os Flu By UNITED PRESS Indiana's unofficial death toll from fly and complications climbed to at least two today, and schools were plagued by new outbreaks of respiratory illness. The death Monday of Jack A. Morman, 14, Hammond, was attributed locally to complications following a flu-type illness from which an older brother also had suffered. Previously, an Earl Park father of four children died last week of what-his physician said was influenza. ' Meanwhile, flu and colds closed more schools. Goshen city schools closed at noon Monday for the rest of the; week on recommendation of the school board’s medical advisory committee and the school nurse. Three Elkhart Twp. schools in the same county also closed. Six Wabash county schools also' closed, and officials said one of the main factors in their decision to cancel classes was the fact that some students who attended; classes “should have been home: in bed.” Cortland school became the; first in Jackson County to close when 41 percent of students were absent. Two more schools shut down in Grant County, and two more in Huntington County, both areas hit last week by the outbreak. While the situation improved inj some areas, like Columbus and Muncie, it worsened in others. Martinsville reported 687 of 3,735 students absent Monday in the heaviest rate of absenteeism thus far.
