Refused Admission.

John Walker, aged about four
teen years old, son of James
Walker, has been refused admis-
sion to our public schools because
of not being vaccinated.
Mr.. Walker having the Dowie
faith does not believe in vaccina-
ton and will not have him vacci-
nated..
He first applied for admission
early in January and was given a
permit to attend one month, at the
end Of this time, not being vacci-
mated he was denied admission.
The case was laid before Attor-
ney Wilson who, to get the matter
before the court will have a man.
damus served Friday on the school
board and Superintendent to show
cause why the boy had been de-
MED admission. The writ is re-
turnable Monday afternoon at two
o'clock before Judge Brown.
This case will undoubtedly
create considerable interest, as the
question has been up in different
parts of the state this year an re-
suited in the scholars attending
school.
We believe in vaccination and
as it is recommended by physi-
clans, it is certainly a protection
to children at school as we'll as
elsewhere and if the law can be
enforced it should be. We believe
our people, as majority, stand by
the school board in their action.
