PROBLEM IN TRUANCY.
Omcer Brooks Has Trouble Over
Unvacctnated Pupils.

Truant Officer Brooks is confronted with
a problem in the discharge Of his duties
that will have to be submitted to the board
of directors for adjudication In his search
for pupils that are supposed to attend
school, but who are playing truant, he
finds several that have not been vaecinated.
The law will not permit such pupils to at
tend the public schools and yet an Of
flcer Is sent to force them to.
This novel and paradoxical situation is
causing considerable trouble to officer
Brooks. Many of the parents are for va
rious reasons opposed to vaccination, some
going even so far as to say that their
children shall remain at home rather than
be submitted to the ordeal. The truant Of
ficer is perp,exed, and will probably not
be officially enlightened as to what to do
until the next meeting of the directors.

The Baltimore and Ohio lines west
of the Ohio River present very busy
appearance these days. as there is
scarcely a ten mile stretch without a
bridge or a construction gang at work.
There are still few of the SO bridges
purchased last January to be erected,
and almost all OF the 10000 tons Of IS
pound rails have been laid. At several
points sidings of 100 car capacity are
being constructed, and between New
ark and Chicago Junction thousands of
men are working on extensive grade
reductions. Between Chicago Junction
and Chicago nearly score of passing
sidings are being constructed with a
view of double track some time in
the future. They are to be long
enough in most cases to hold three 50
car trains.
