1st Member for Frederiksted's Country Dis
triot (FZemng) would, in reference to a
previous remark from lst Member for Frede-
riksted (Sarauw) call attention to the fact
that with US the time Of entering school is the
9Th year, and therefore, he supposed, also the
age for vaccination is fixed at the same
period.
The Precedent corroborated that view.
The Chairman vacated his seat to the Vice
Chairman (Sarauw).
2nd Member for Caristian9ted'S Country
District (Rosenaand) gave a resume of the
contents of the Draft. The object of it was
not 50 much the establishing of vaccination,
which is already pretty we'll established, as the
control with it, and all Were agreed in this
that there is no possibility of exercising con-
troll Herewith before the children enter school
therefore compulsory vaccination and compul-
sorry Observation-Disclosures must 60 hand in hand.
Compulsory Observation-Disclosures begins with us
at the age Of 6, and therefore also the control
with the vaccination must Ommenc at this
age. Will formerly the p'acard o. 1919 made
vaccination compulsory only for the children
of slaves, under fines for the respective slave.
owners, it will henceforth according to this
Draft, be compulsory for all children Without
exoap ioa. TIE responsibility Of the School
Commits ion under the new Law might appear
great, bat the object to b a tanned is 80 impor.
taat that t., r spon>ihilty is in ? Op)rtioa to it.
AS regards revdccination, it Is not obligatory,
aud only in the event Of tn outbreak of a
small pix epidemic th3 Superior Authority
shall take suck measures, hat every b)dy
can be ravaccinated, but parties cannot
be compelled, but only encoura yed to get
themselves revaccinated, and it is bnt consis-
tent that a fee should there be paid. He coul
agree with the honorable lst Member for FIRE.
de-iksted that revaccinati4o might be en-
oouraged more by not charging that fee, small
as it is in itself; but when it is supposed that it
could only afford a trifing income to the Physi-
clan, he would only beg to point out, that in the
event of 9, 900 persons being reyaccinated, that
would give S240 revenue.
The Chairman resumed his seat.
The President had one observation to add in
reference to previous remarks from 1st Mem
Der for Frederiksted {Sarauw) about the duty
and responsibility of the Members of the School
Commission. 1t is provided in 8 last clause
that transgreSsions of the duties render the
tranSgyessoy liable to a fine under that head
could only come those actually respon sibie for
the duty, and the protocol there spoken of is
to be kept by the Chairman Of The Commission
and only once a year examined by the other
Members.
13t Member for Frederiksted (Sarau'U) had
since his previous remarks found that in the
Vaccination Law for Denmark Of 1871 a fee of
- SIX. is prescribed for reyaccination but ths
provision here should be struck out. The ex-
PLANTATION given by the honorable Chairman
about the term for vaccination is very reasOna-
BILE but supposing, as he does, that the term
for compulsory school attendance in Denmark
is by law fixed at 6 years, why had the Law
on Vaccination fixed the term for compulsory
vaccination at 7? He had not been able to
procure a copy of the proceedings in the Diet
on the Law, but it could not be supposed that
that point had escaped attention, and there
must be reasons why Z years was chosen as the
term.
1st Member for Frederiksted's Country Dis.
triot (F2eming) could still not see, why those
fees for revaccination were prescribed while in
other cases no pertain fee was prescribed for the
phys. clan 5 services on the estates.
The Chairman observed that the fee in 5 8
was only prescribed fo- the public physician,
here in st Croix the Landphysicus, who is
bound at the time, when the public vaccination
takes place, also to revaccinate those, who
wished to be revaccinated, for a fee of 90 cents.
Estate owners were of course at liberty to
make any agreement with the Estates physi-
clan. He saw now, that the Translation of the
5 was not correct therefore the honorable
Member had misunderstood it, as though it re-
ferred to any physician who performed The vac
cination.
