IT MUST TAKE.
Duly" Means "Successfully" Vac
cinated, SAYS DR.. Duvall.

According to an opinion rendered by Cor
poration Council Duvall and received today
by the Commissioners, the board of educa-
ton has the power to require school chill
dren to produce certificates from physicians
stating that they have been successfully
vaccnated. This means in erect That
certificate stating that the pupil has been
merely "yaccinated" is not considered suf-
ficient but that the certificate must state
that the vaccination has been effective.
The question in the premises was
raised by Mr.. T. w Fowler whose sons
card of admission to the public schools
contained on the back a certificate to the
effect that the child had been duly vac
cinated." Mr. Fowler stated that his boy
was vaccinated about two weeks before
the opening of the schools, but that the
operation was apparently not successful
Mr.. Fowler stated that 1t seemed to him
made by a regular physician to success
fully vaccinate child the terms of the
statute requiring vaccination had been
complied with; and because the system
is not successful" after the bona fde
attempt. it should not preclude the at
tending physician from giving the Ger
vaccinated." Mr.. Fowler objected to the
of the term successfully vaccf-
mated"
The provision of the law ON this sub,
ject." says Counsel Duvall lis contained
in section PA Of the revised statutes. which
reads as follows: No child shall be adj
mitted into the public schools who shall
not have been duly vaccinated or other
wise protected against smallpox
TO vaccinate," says Mr.. Duval. "ac-
cording to photographers. means to in
oculate with the virus of a disease so as
to produce a mild form of that disease.
TO inoculate' is to introduce a virus into
the system through the skin. Duly means
properly or regularly. Therefore duly
vaccinated means that virus has been
properly introduced into the system
through the skin.
1.-The proof Of this is the reaction which
occurs or in common parlance. 1t takes,
or is successful When no reaction occurs
the person treated has not be 'vaccinated.
there has been merely the attempt, which
has proven unsuccessful. Still less has he
been duly or successfully vaccinated.
Il am of the opinion that the board Of
eduction has authority to require that the
certificate In such cases shall show that the
vaccination has been successful. that Is
that the certificate shall use the language
at present employed, namely. successfully
Vaccinated.
This opinion has been approved.

Decision Of the Commission as to

The official digest of the decision as sent
from London agrees with that given out at
the State Department, with the exception
of a slight variation in the answer to ques-
ton No 7, which in the official digest Is as
follows:
What, II any exist. are the mountains
referred to as situated parallel to the coast,
which mountains. when within ten marine
leagues from the coast, are declared to form
the eastern boundary?'
majority of the tribunal have selected
the line of peaks starting at the head of
Portland canal and running along the high
mountains shown on the maps Of survey
made in 1893. extending to Mount Whipple,
and thence along what is known as the
Hunter line of 1878. crossing the Stiklne
river about twenty-four miles from It's
mouth: thence northerly along the high
peaks to Hates Needle. from Hates Needle
to the Devils Thumb.
THE tribunal stated that there was not
sufficient evidence, owing to the absence
of a complete survey to identify the noun

by the treaty. This contemplates a fur
