The Matter OF Vaccination.

We wish to call the attention Of our
readers to the communication in an
other column from the secretary of the
local Board Of Health. explaining some
Misunderstanding that seem to have
arisen since the publication Of a former
communication on the subject of free
vaccination. The Board of Health
simply desires to do its duty in this
matter and to comply with the law
which has hitherto been but little en-
forced in this city. In several Maino
cities, as in all the neighboring states,
vaccination is made compulsory for all
school children. The vaccination law
is plain and unequivocal in this State
and the local Board of Health simply
proposes to comply with the State law
and the city ordinance and provide an
opportunity, for which notices will ba
given later, for free vaccination for
those not already vaccinated. No pa"
son is forced to be vaccinated against
his Will
If the law means anything and the
existence of the Board of Health has
any significance. this step is the only
one to be taken. and it is unnecessary
to say that the State Board of Health
heartily approves of it. Parents
teachers and pupils. like the good citi-
Zens that thoYa are. should not hesitate 10
cooperate with the board in every
effort it makes to maintain a high
standard of health for our city. The
board does not propose to make any
house to house canvass or any school
room inspection, or to use any force
in the matter. 1t merely shows Angus
Ia its duty and gives it an opportunity
for free vaccination 1t does not
assume to say that children not vac
cinated shall not attend the schools;
If this is done it is a step for the school
officials to take. and it is safe to say
that under existing conditions they will
do nothing of the kind.

ENGLAND Wants a Statesman. !

Never more than at this time did the
British empire feel the need of a
statesman at the head of it's affairs.
Genuine statesmen are not numerous

At the present time. however, in the
keen competition of European nations
England is rot taking her customary
aggressive lead. but seems to be losing.

aimless, and both Russia and France
