decided that when a pupil has been 'un-

pupil would be regarded as an immune"
and could not be deprived of the privilege
OF attendance.
DIR. Dodson maintained that the law
could not be binding if it meant success

are cases in which five and even six at
tempts had been made TO successfully vac

Such pupils wousd be deprived of the ad-

PROBLEMS OF VACCINATION.
Decisions Reached by the Talbot
County. Md, school BOard


st. Michael's. Nd, April 6.-The inter
probation of the law relating TO the vacci-
nation of school children is causing the
school board of Talbot county considerable
trouble.
At the last meeting of the Talbot County
Teachers Association NJ. B. Nichols presi-
dent of the school board, introduced the
subject of vaccination. and a rather heated
discussion resulted as TO the proper inter-
probation of the term duly vaccinated.' -
The law at present requires that a pupil
shall, upon his entrance TO school, present
certificate Of vaccination from a resident
physician or be barred the privileges of
the schools until the proper certificate Is
presented. Ii was maintained by some that
certificate of vaccination is not correct,
for the reason that the operation might not
prove successful, and therefore the certili-
cate would be void.
Others maintained that the law could
only go so far. because of the fact that the
physical condition of the child may be
such that a successful vaccination cannot
be accomplished and if child is barred
the privileges of the school until such vac
cination may prove successful, he cannot
enter the school at ALL DR.. R. A. Dodson
one of the commissioners, maintained that
II is the duty OF the State to properly in
terpret the term duly yaccinated," In or
der that both teacher and pupil may be
protected and the rights of the parents re-
spected.
If the law is to be interpreted to m an
successful vaccination" a number of the
schools throughout the county would not
only be closed. but small children who de-
sire to enter the school at the spring term
would be deprived of the privilege of at
tendance.
For the guidance of teachers and parents
II was decided by the board here that il
there are pupils in attendance at the
schools now who have never been vac
rinated, or who have not presented a GER
