Bclleville School Board Instructs
Truant Officer to Apprehend
GOO Delinquents.

Belleville school children who are not
vaccinated will be refused admission to
the Bellevlle public schools. and if they
prosecuted under the compulsory educa-
ton act
The School Board yesterday notified SUI
perintendent of Schools Busiek to refuse
to admit to the public schools the chill
dren who are unable to produce certifl-
Gates of successful vaccination.
Inc School Board also instructed the
truant officer to vigorously prosecute all
vioiators of the compulsory education law,
which provides that parents of children
under the age of "A years must send these
children TO the public schools.
There are $500 school children in Belle
vile, and of these Superintendent Busiek
states that l. 200 have produced certificates
showing that they have been successfully
Vacclnated. The School Board recently

VINO could not afford to pay physician
for the operation. The vaccinations took
place during a period of two weeks.
The stand taken by the School Board is
the result of the cases of smallpox in the
city. Several of these cases, it is asserted,
We're spread by school children. and. as a
matter of precaution: the School Board in
vile schools shall he vaccinated.
In previous years the board could not
enforce this rule. because it could not
compel the attendance at school Of the
pupils. Under the compulsory school law
the children must go to school. and if they
are not Vaccinated they will be denied ad-
mission, so that they must be vacciaated
to attend school.
1t was not thought yesterday that airy
determined fight would be made on the
