Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 19-Since the
School Boards announcement that all
school children must be vaccinated or be
excluded from the local schools big ma
jority of pupils have been inoculated and
very few were refused admission to-day be-
cause they had not conformed to the rule.
To-day was the last day for the order to be
complied with and doctors were busy in
iecting virus into the arms OF the school
pupils. Nearly $50 children have been vac
cinated within the past three days.
Very few new cases of smallpox have
been discovered during the past week.
There are now eighteen cases at the deten-
ton hospital and half a dozen more in the
southeast end of the city. None of the
cases is deemed fatal and but few of the
patients are seriously sick. Reuben r.
Nyswander, the Purdue Instructor, who is
at the isolation hospital. is recovering. His
case has been the most severe of any in the
city. The authorities are making strong
efforts to prevent further spread of the
disease and they probably will be success
full.
President Stone, of Purdue, has notified
students who are not vaccinated that il is
their duty to take this precaution at once.
No cases exist on the West Side. The doc
tors report that the present mild epidemic
is the result of the visit of an infected per-
son to the city during the carnival.
