The Washington school, which IL
among the best In the city, was In the
midst OF deep gloom, which pervaded
every room when the News" man Wis
tied Il, and the sorrow was expressed
In the faces Of the eighteen teachers.
The principal, Miss L. NJ. QualtrOugh,
fairly went this morning as she was
under the necessity Of sending home
the children who either came unvac-
cinated or without the necessary certi-
ficate showing that 1t had been done
At an carly hour Il was found that
q large percentage OF the 100 enrolled
children had presented themselves for
admission. The general order Of the
board was read to the children and ex-
plantations made to their various capa-
cities and the exodus OF unvacclnated
children began-leaying but $50 children
eligible for attendance, and Of these
fully 30 were later expelled on account
Of the attending physician having failed
to furnish the necessary certificate OF
successful vaccination.
IL was indeed a dreary waste OF emp
~ benches In the various rooms and a
pltlful sight to see the teacher with
from four 90 ten children standing
around trying tO be Interested IN the
work IN hand, while the teachers eyes
filled with tears, especially when the
principal came to do some further
wedding out" In round numbers there
were about 5H children who presented
themselves, and of these but $50 were
vacclnated, The story is told In de-
tail as follows.

Scenes such as were never before
witnessed In the schools Of Utah were
enacted this morning when the pupils
and teachers assembled in their various
districts to resume the studies that
have been interrupted and postponed
on account OF the smallpox scare that
prevails in the community.
The most conservative statement Of
the situation shows that the condition
is very grave; that the public schools
are imperiled and that the vaccination
lists and the nti-vaccinationists are at
last brought face to face. 1t is now
admitted that a recourse TO the courts
is the only way TO effect final settle
ment OF the difficulty; and that will be
taken at once. This afternoon the pa.
pers were drawn by an association OF
eminent legal gentlemen who have
been employed by the anti-yaccination
society. The officers constituting the
latter were much elated over the strong
anti -vaccinaton sentiment which was
manifest today when pupils were
turned away by the thousands through
refusing TO submit to incubation as re-
quired by the board Of health
During the opening hours today there
were many affecting scenes between
teachers and pupils. While the former
had obeyed the order Of the board OF
health almost to a man, or woman 40
the case might be, II transplred that
many had done so against their own In
clinatlon and that they were actually
in open rebellion to the practice. But
their positions were at stake and they
submitted as gracefully as possible, all
the circumstances considered. II was
really remarkable to find so many OF
the teachers arrayed in opposition TO
vaccination. Many parents visited the
schools, but none blamed the teachers,
a great many Of whom shed tears at the
demoralized condition that prevailed.
Superintendent Cooper when spoken to
was almost in despair at the unpropi-
tlous outlook. but courteously declined
to say anything for publication.
President Il. W. Wilson Of the board
Of education stated to the News this
afternoon that the chief desire OF him
self and colleagues was to see the mat
ter speedily settled. The board of edu-
cation was simply acting in this matter
under an order from the board OF health.
which according TO the attorney gener-
al, had authority TO make such order
and enforce II.
A careful estimate disclosed the fact
that not more than 1900. or IS per cent
Of the 1900 school children have been
vacclnated. Today's results have re-
tarded rather than impeded the progress
of vaccination. The subject, II is said,
will be exclusively discussed at the
City Council meeting tonight,
