Mr.. Holmes appeared before the Board
and protested against the vaccination order, |
claiming that the order is not In the interest
of the people, and that liberal government
should not forcibly invade the domestic circle
by such an order. He gave his reasons why |
he believed vaccination wrong, and said he
could not consent to his children being vac |
cinated. without which his children will be
excluded from the public schools. lie
claimed that his feeling was shared by many J
parents in the city.
Director Tracy read the State law to MIR.
Holmes, making vaccination Imperative, and
that the Superintendent and Board has no
discretion in the matter. The law is spe-
cial Act referring to this city.
President Grifiths said he believed there
had been more deaths from vaccination in
Sacramento than from smallpox.
MIR. Holmes took the position that any |
such Act as cited was wrong, without proper |
basis, and ought to be repealed. He should
make issue in the case by compelling the au-
thorities to thrust his children from the |
schools for refusal to comply with the order
He said a similar law in England became so
obnoxious that it is now dead letter, and is |
10 longer enforced.
Professor Brier asked if the school law re-
quired teachers to be vaccinated also. He
agreed with Mr.. Holmes fully. He lost a |
child through vaccination. He had not been |
VaccInated sIpce he was boy.
He was replied to that the requirement as |
to teachers was an order of the Board. He
was allowed further time in which to comply |
with the rule.
! MIR. Jackson, janitor at the Sacramento |
| Grammar School, addressed the Board, set
| ting out why he should be allowed q greater
sum for the work required of him.
| The Superintendent reported that he had
suspended Professor o. NJ. Adams because of
failure and refusal to supply him with a copy
of the registered standing of pupils in the |
| High School, and that he had placed Pro-
| lessor Brier in charge of the school, pending |
the suspension.
The Board discussed the question of the |
Superintendent power to suspend, and in |
the absence of the necessary statute-book, |
and of Mr.. Adams, was at seas as to what
| to do.
Prof. Brier explained that he was himself |
largely in fault in not having transferred
the standing of his class to the register and |
explained how the work had been delayed. |
| He had now transferred his report to the
register. He pleaded negligence on his part,
and certified that Mr.. Adams had long ago
transferred the standing of his Glass; aud had
been punctual in that regard.
The Superintendent said he had tried to
get the standing of the High School classes
for over a month, and got it in part by piece
meal from the teachers, and then asked for
the register TO ascertain the standing of Mr..
Adams class at certain time, month ago. I
The suspension was for the teachers fat re-
| fusal rather than for the delay.
! Mr.. Brier insisted that the teachers of the |
High School were willing and always had |
acceded to all proper demands of the Su-
perintendent.
The Board ordered Mr.. Adams reinstated
for two days, and that the Board on Wednes
day evening decide the case. The Board or
dered that Mr.. Jackson be allowed pay as
| janitor for the Sacramento Grammar School, |
for sixteen rooms in the winter and fifteen in |
the summer. The Board ordered special |
vacation December oath, the regular vacation |
| beginning the next day. A vacation was
ordered for Wednesday, Thursday aud |
Friday of this week, except as to the High |
School. The Board then adjourned until |
Wednesday evening.
TAKEN TO WooDLAND.-The two thieves,
George Clark and Charles Small, who each
stole coat at Wilson's secondhand clothing
store, on K street, few days since, and were
captured on L street after brief chase, were
yesterday sentenced by Judge Henry to pay
fine of $3.50 each or serve a term of 120
| days apiece in the County Jail, with recon-
mendation to full benefits in the chain-g gang.
These sentences will not, however, be at
present carried out, as they are also charged
| with having committed the recent burglaries
| at Woodland and articles found in their pos
session have b=en already identified which
connect them with two of these, at least.
| Therefore, as these were the greater crimes,
and if proved will probably give them several
years in State Prison, Chief Karcher tele-
graphed to Sheriff Rahm of Yolo county to
come over and get the prisoners, which he did
Yesterday afternoon and escorted them safely
