DIR. Richards said that because the
cases of smallpox which have afflicted
the people recently were of mlld type.
there is no reason to believe that the

lence. for it is the law of the varying
intensity of diseases that virulence sue

should not permit themselves to fall De-
hind a false sense of security.
Prejudice, Says DR.. Beatty.
In the discussion DR.. r. B. Beatty,
secretary of the state board of health,
declared that there is a woeful oppesl-
tion in Utah against vaccinations Dr;
Beatty said a very strong prejudice had
been instilled in the minds of the peo-
pie twelve years ago when newspaper
editor cried against vaccination. Inns
prejudice must be overcome, and 1t is
a tremendous task to overcome 1T. Dr.
Beatty said, however, that very re.
Gently encouraging signs were reported
from Springville and Provo. In Provo,
he said, 2 900 had been vaccinated,
DR., Beatty denounced the practice OF
closing the schools when there is an
outbreak of smallpox
.'Closiug the schools does no good,
he said 'It only deprives the child
OF his right to be taught and to study
Vaccination prevents smallpox; closing
the schools does not, The method Is
asinine.'
Personally, said DR.. Beatty, he is not
IN favor of quarantine. he beneVes
quarantine to be of little or no value,
and some Of the states are on the point
of repeating the quarantine laws. and
one had already done so. Vaccination
ne repeated, is the only preventive OF
smallpox
DR.. Beatty believes that a vigorous
educational campaign should be CON
Quoted
Morris Favors Change.
Nephi l.. Morris said he is thorough
ly convinced of the propriety and the
effectiveness of a law for compulsory
vaccination. As member of the
league he would do all in his power
10 aid in movement looking to the
repeal Of the obnoxious law now on the
books.
DR.. Sundval added testimony to DR..
Richards remarks, saying that the eff
ticacy of the vaccination system was
we'll demonstrated in the German army.
The army of Frederick the Great, he
said. lost more men through smallpox
than in all the battles. Since the intro
duction OF vaccination the German
army, big as 1t is, had lost only six
men.
DR.. Gimmell, chairman of the health
committee of the Federation Of
Woman's clubs, believed in a system
of education. and said that the women
are doing excellent work in the dis
semination of knowledge concerning the
beneficial effects of vaccination.
Dr. 5. II. Allen said that when the
peonle can be made TO understand that
it is more costly TO have smallpox than
to be vaccinated they will no longer
pretend TO say that the doctors urge
vaccination from mercenary stand
point. He was for the dissemination Of
knowledge and suggested that the league
issue and distribute bulletins on the
subject of vital concern. He believed
hat a proper. sentiment could be
aroused among the people that will ulti-
mately result in the repeal OF the law
which is so much Of hindrance at this
time.
DR.. r. w Fisher believed that the
| function of the society was to do the
work itself. He said the doctors ought
to the front Then, he sald, the doctors
could not be charged with ulterior mo-
tives.
Prohibition Sprung
J. T. Tanner of Glover, Tooele county,

make prohibition speech. He said
that vaccination and prohibition could

Apostle Heber j. Grant said ne be"
lieved in vaccination because his doc
tors and other doctors had shown him
that it was a good thing He had
read much in opposition to vaccination,
but so long as the doctors said vac,
cination prevents smallpox, he believed
| it. He said he did not know that it
was so Of his own account, but believed
| it to be so because men trained i'll
medicine, who had spent years Of study
and research, ought to know.
Previously TO this DR.. T, f. Clarke of
Logan, who presided, had said that the
opposition against vaccination in the
state was so determined that any person
who preached it was likely TO be as
sauIted. Apostle Grant declared that
in all his travels he had never found
this spirit to prevail, and, indeed. the
people were ready TO listen to. argu-
ments,
