it possible to reply with directness.
1t is claimed that the Western league has
not been protected in the services of players
Dundon, Houtz, William Smith and Babb
The status of these players before the board
are as follows:
In the case of Gus Dundon, claimed by
Kansas City and Grand Rapids, the evidence
was collected as rapidly as possible, and sub
mitted to the members of the national board
for a mail vote on May 6. 1t made the rounds
without delay, each member advising me Of
his action by wire. telegraphed the decision
of the board, awarding the services of the
player to the Kansas City club, to the parties
involved May 16.
The HOutz Matter.
In the case of Houtz, you sent me clip
ping and letter from Mr.. Beall on April 49,.
saying Houtz had joined the Marion club of
the Western association in violation of his
reservation by Denver. On April 22 the pres
ident of the Western association was advised
of the reservation Of the player by the West
ern league. No further protest has been re-
ceved, and I supposed the matter was closed.
On April Is. 1901 sent to Mr.. A. B. Beall
Of Minneapolis letter from William Smith,
which, If my memory is correct, inquired
about his status with the Minneapolis club,
and asked that he advise me fully regarding
the matter at his earliest convenience

In the summertime the boys, divid-

boys are engaged at various light
crafts In workrooms, such as making
of baskets, brushes and brooms, and
plain carpentry, where the use of tools
is taught. Typesetting and bookbind-

older classes.

VACCINATION.

How the Discovery of the Preventive
vir . Was Made and Applied.
During the eighteenth century it was
common talk among the country peo-
pie of England and Scotland that milk
ers of cows never had the smallpox.
At a time when this disease was one
Of the scourges Of Europe such a
fact naturally attracted attention.
Physicians In the cities did not regard
the country notion as worthy Of notice.
When an epidemic threatened they in
oculated healthy persons with small
pox virus to give them the disease.
Then it was treated from the start
under favorable conditions. The chief
effect Of the method was to make the
lnoculated person certain he was to be
seriously Ill, while the uninoculated
might possibly escape. Jonathan Ed
wards was one of the famous victims
Of incubation.
1t was left for an obscure country
physician, DIR. Jenner, to recognize the
scientific Importance Of the tradition
about the immunity of mixers. By
his experiments in 1906 he proved that
lnoculation with cowpox virus carried
protection against smallpox. He wrote
a pamphlet on his experiments and
sent it to the Royal College Of Physi-
clans in London. The manuscript was
returned with contemptuous reply.
The discovery was of too great import
ance not to make an impression, and
during the fifth year after his first vac
cination Jenner and other doctors vac
cinated 10000 persons In England.
In spite Of the success of the process
there were many in the early part of
the century who doubted its efficacy.
The experience of the last thirty years
has demonstrated the value Of vaccina-
ton beyond the possibility of doubt
In Chemnitz, Germany, city of 64,-
600 inhabitants, there was smallpox
epidemic in 1901. About $4,000 OF
the inhabitants he'd been vaccinated.
Only 1.8 per cent of them contracted
the disease. OF the unvaccinated more
than 46 per cent were Ill. Among the
vaccinated less than ! per cent of the
cases resulted fatally. Among the un-
protected the percentage was above O..
Statistics of the armies In Franco
Prussian war show the same general
results. The German soldiers were
carefully vaccinated, while the French
were not. During widespread epi-
demic Of smallpox the German lost
only 45O men from the disease, while
the French lost 23,400 In general it
has been shown that the danger of In
fection is six times as great and the
mortality sixty-eight times as great in
the unvacclnated as in the vaccinated.
Vaccination is compulsory through
