into such ap important question as TO

replied Wayson
DIR. BRINCKERHorF
DR. lIrinckerhof of the Marine
Medical Service spoke on the sub
ject. IT seems Ia me- he said.
that very important point has
been lost sight Of The main object
In passing medical law II to pro-
tect the health OF the community. II
is not a question OF religious belief.
I'm order to protect the communi-
~ adequately. the Board Of Health
must have the cooperation Of certain
lndiyiduals-those who are called to
the bedside of the sick. These per-
sons must be capable OF taking care
OF the sick, or the Board OF Health
will not be able to know when some
one is sick with an infectious dis
case. The important thing to do is
TO see that the persons who are call
cd to the bedside of the sick are
those who will recognize an infec-
;ious disease when they see II and
will report II.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE DANGEROUS
III we are to fight disease, we
must keep away from the bedside OF
the sick those who will fail to recog-
nize and report an infectious dis
case. This means the Christian Sci
cntists. II seems to me that the law
makers will be making great mis-
take II they fail to safeguard the
health of the community. These al
lowances that are made by Legisla-
lures and by Congress are a very real
danger when they allow individuals
to set themselves up against that alb
solute law of nature, to apply law
which they get from the interior of
their heads. / speak feelingly on
this subject. for ! have seen child On
die on account of Christian Science.
To allow person who knows moth
ing about disease to sit by and watch
child die of diphtheria while there
is such a thing as anti-toxin-it IL
scandalons; II is ridiculous"
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AND
PoLYGAMY
DIR. Sinclair was of the opinion
that there is too much of glamor
thrown around this matter. because
the laws of the United States say
there shall be no interference with
religious belief. "The same claims
were made for polygamy years ago."
he said. and yet polygamy is now
forbidden by the laws. And ! be-
lieve the time will come when Chris
tian Science will be in the same cate
CORY as polygamy.
DANGER OF YELLOW FEVER
There is a grave danger threaten
ing this Territory. That Is yellow
fever. II we leave n loophole In this
law. there is danger Of terrible cpl
demic of this disease
Smith wanted to know why It Is
that so many States and advanced
communities allow Christian Science
to be practiced.
1T is because the name OF religion
is connected with It," replied Way
son.
HoMEoPATHS
DR.. Cooper made suggestion in
regard to homeopaths. las their
text books" he said, ARE the same
as those of the other schools, except
for the materia medica and practise,
Il seems to me there ought to be
some provision inserted In the bill
for the non-examination OF home
Gpaths In these two subjects or else
by reputable homeopathic physicians
chosen by the Board of Mdical Exam
liners to act with them"
EXAMINATIONS
Regarding the matter of eXamina-
lions in the English language, DR..
Cooper thought there is no good rea-
son why japanese should be exam
ined In the japanese language any
more than Russians or Germans or
Frenchmen in their languages. I'VE
are part OF the United States" he
said, land we ought to conform to
the laws and customs of the United
States"
In regard to examinations In the
Japanese language, DR.. Wayson said
1t is absolutely impossible to get an
accurate Interpretation of technical
terms from English into japanese OF
from japanese into English.
