THE SCHOOLS TO OPEN.

The action taken by the Board Of
Health. and subsequently by the Board
Of Education. viii meet with universal
approval. All the schools OF this city
can now be opened TO pupils without
any condition as to vaccination. The
resolutions adopted by the Board OF
Education. although in some respects
not exactly the form desired by the
minority. reach to the end desired and
therefore they are 30 far satisfactory,
All the public and private day
schools, Sunday schools and other edu-
cational establishments, are now per-
fectly free TO re-commence their tut
tion. Vaccination is now not quail
fieation required as condition prece-
dent TO public education. This is very
gratifying, no matter what may have
been the causes that have produced the
results.
The gentlemen composing the minor
fly OF the Board OF Education need not
think that any reflection. apparently
cast on them by the resolutions adopt
ed, will affect them In the least In the
estimation OF the masses Of our citi-
gems. The course they have pursued
In trying TO maintain the rights Of the
people Is understood and appreciated.
They are not responsible for the strife,
III feeling and litigation that have been
the consequence OF the action OF the
majority Of the Board.
The desire on the part Of the bare ma
jcrity OF the Board OF Education to OBJ
tain something peremptory from the
Board OF Health. so that the response
billty for shutting out unvaccinated
children from the schools which they
We're entitled and required by law TO
enter, might be shifted on TO the
shoulders OF the medical authorities, Is
pretty well comprehended by the pub
lie. 1t ought TO be remembered by the
voters az the school election next fall,
The test case TO determine the extent
and limit Of the powers Of the Board Of
Health under the statutes OF the State,
has yet to be ruled upon by the SUI
preme Court. This will not necessarily
affect the situation at present. The
probability Is that the schools will re-
main open TO all pupils, irrespective Of
vaccination, no matter what may be
the decision OF the court Of appeal. But
we do not understand by this that any
proper vigilance viii be relaxed Such
quarantine rules and sanitary regula-
tons as may be deemed necessary un-
der existing circumstances. Will no
doubt be maintained. and good citizens
will submit 10 Inconvenience that may
arise therefrom out Of proper regard for
the general welfare.
We congratulate the community on
the healthful conditions which are now
prevailing. and hope there will be no
further occasion for alarm 1t Is very
doubtful whether q number Of cases
that have been called smallpox We're
anything more than aggravated erup-
tions, resembling In some respects the
dreaded disease but lacking In some es-
sentlal symptoms Of the disorder, How
ever, as the complaint appeared to be
contagious whatever It was, too great
precautions TO prevent its spread could
scarcely be adopted, so long as they
were within the lines Of the law. The
prospects at present are that as the
malady has been checked, II will soon
become extinct In this city and
throughout the State.

THE PLAGUE.
Worcester Spy.

The plague, according TO dispatches,
seems to have broken out in earnest In
Honolulu. The people OF that island
seem to have learned nothing from
former epidemics, which have been
driven out only after much sacrifice OF
life. There has been no such thing as a
sewer in the city Of Honolulu. Deaths
last month were at the rate of GS per
1000 per year. Eighty per cent Of these
were from bubonic plague. one Of the
doctors said that. In his opinion, ali OF
the recent deaths attributed to pneu-
monia, OF which there is a great deal,
were due to the plague.
