The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1883-11-08

A Dakota schoolmistress sued three
young men for breach Of promise. Coun.
eel for ono Of the defendants moved for q
nonsuit on the ground that abe was too
promise uous. The court seemed dis.
posed to grant Ghe motion, whersupon
the plaintiff asked:
Judge. did you ever 60 out duck.

His honor's eyes lighted up with the
pride Of . sportsman - he answered.:
well. I should cay SO! Nany's the
time I've brought down half . dozen at a
shot."

plaintiff. That's just the case with me.
A dock of these fellows besieged me and

CONTAGIOUS Diseases in Schools.

We know of o school ia which it is
claimed that the high rewards for pune
tuality have 80 induced children to at
tend when half sick, or when there was
communicable diseases in homes, as to
make the school notable means for the
spread of epidemics. How shall the
necessary information be obtained? The
teacher, or trustee, says he cannot be
expected to be discoverer of disease,
or to know the condition of the family
at home. The family physician raises
the question whether it Is his duty to re-
port every case of contagious disease in
his practice, or whether his own judg-
ment shall be the guide. Many boards
of health claim that, unless the rule to
report is imperative. the local
existence of such diseases cannot be
traced or contagious isolated. Parents
are shy to give publicity to any localized
disease in the family AS it often resets on
their business or their comfort. We see
no way except to go back from prejudices
and self interest to the real moral or
ethical views. We think close examine
ton of this view will show that the
proper authorities g., b oards Of health
or trustees-hsve right to know home
conditions OF health. SO far as these
jeopardize the public, or the children
who attend schools. Whether the parent
or the physician shall be the authority,
and whether for pay or on purely ethi-
cal basis the report shall be made, is q
subsidiary question, to be determined
by the "sensus communis" or by the
law. The outcry there is in any neigh
borhood, if . parent has q child sick
with scarlet fever, for instance, and
sends the other daily to school, is
almost o testimony that the schools have
right to this knowledge; and, il
so, to determine how to obtain it and
to act thereupon in some regulative
way. This question il now subjective.
and, until more fully argued, we suggest
two or three practical expedients: First,
We think every board Of school trustees,
joined. perhaps. by the local board of
health, should, ct the commencement Of
each term, or Just before, send circular
or notice to each parent, that. whenever
certain named contagious diseases are,
or have, within . month, been in any
particular household, NO child should be
sent to school except by previous ap.
proval of the board. II case Of such
disease occurs in pupil attending, the
teacher or trustee should be apprissd.
In this way, cases of smallpox, for in
stance, have often been prevented and
the severity Of other diseases averted.
The time Of non-sttendance depends
much on the case, on the care Of the fam.
lily or the opinion Of the physician, and
should only vary from Axed standard.

Communicated.

At Washington Hall, Thanksgiving
evening, had the pleasure of hear
ing tue Hon. Dan'l B. Lucas deliver
a lecture on the political life of John
Randolph, of Roanoke, for the ben
eft of the Lee Memorial Association.
The Hon. gentleman gave vcryablc
lecture, filled with historical facts. in
terwoven with peculiar interest with
the language of the speaker, which is
forcible and full of vim of intellectual
power. His defining the meaning of
Emancipation and Abolition to the
full import of the question, which has
agitated both sections of party divi-
sion, was wonderfully plain aud COM
prehensivc. It is a subject so versa
tile, so full of interest to the political
reader, as well as social, it is with
skill you can keep within the circle of
so vast q subject, connected with so
much magnitude of the life and char
acter of Randolph. Iregrct the Hall
was not filled and packed, with the
litirati of Charlestown. Mr.. Lucas,
as speaker, without the subject of
his lecture, should have filled the Hall,
as his lips speak only eloquence of
pure intellect. II. NJ. B.
