SCHOOL LAWS
PUZZLE DIRECTORS

The school directors in many of the
towns of the State aud especially in
the rural districts are having quite q
good deal of trouble with the vaccina.
tion question:
superintendent Dixon, of the State
Board of Health. has issued a procla-
mation in which he declares it to be
the purpose of the State Board to hold
each and every teacher responsible for
the enforcement of the law. Its viola
tion will be punished by heavy fine.
The teachers are not at all to be blam.
ed because they are anxious to escape
tie penalty. Many persons absolutely
refuse to have their children vaooinat-
ed. Here is the difficulty. The Health
Board declares that no child shall re-.
main in school who has not been sue.
cessfuily vacoinated and on the other
hand the compulsory attendance law
declares as emphatically that all chill
dren between certain ages must be in
school.
These apparently conflicting laws
are what the school directors are
wrestling with.
In Montour County in a few of the
rural districts there was considerable
difficulty in bringing about vaocina.
tion as required by the school law, but
at last accounts the difficulty every
where was pretty we'll adjusted. In
Danville the law as to vaccination
was easily complied with at the open
ing OF the term. In cases where the
parents were unable to stand the ex-
pense, the children we're turned over
to the physicians in charge of the
poor district and they performed the
vaccination free of charge.
