been quite a drawing card, have not
taken place in the last few years, due to
a lack of interest shown by the student

BOARD OF EDUCATION
CITED BEFORE COURT
Must Defend Edict of Exile From
Public School Against I'm
vaccinated Boy.

Judicial notice of the characterization
crusade was taken today. when Justice
Barnard cited the board of education to
show cause Friday. November Is. why a
writ of mandamus should not issue
against the board.
The rule is based on a petition filed by
Carl Harris, through his father and next
friend, DR.. George w. Harris, who seeks
to compel the board to allow his attend
ance at the. public schools without being
vaccinated. Harris tells the court that
October II last, accompanied by his
father. he applied to the principal Of the
adams School for admission as a pupil
of the third grade. Acting under author
ity and instructions of the board of edu-
cation, he alleges, the admission was re-
fused, for no other reason than that the
petitioner had never been vaccinated.
The rule adopted by the board requiring
vaccination as a condition precedent to
admission Harris. through tAttorneys
Charles w. Darr and Walter c. Balder-
ston, declares was without warrant of
law. He points out the different sections
of the act under which the board acted
when adopting the rule, and shows that
the fair Interpretation of all the act
negatives any such requirement as vac
cfnatfon.
