Buncombe County Schools Delay Reopening Due to Widespread Influenza, Dec. 30, 1922

Influenza Delays Schools’ Opening

Asheville, N.C., Dec. 29—On account of the prevalence of influenza in Buncombe county, school and health authorities today decided to postpone the re-opening of the county school from January 1 and 7 to the following Monday and Tuesday.

From the front page of the Durham Morning Herald, Dec. 30, 1922. The story did say re-opening Jan. 1 and 7, but I’m not sure what that meant. Was the school closed Jan. 1 through 7? Surely the school wouldn’t have been opening on January 1.
