Truancy Law Not Invoked.

Under the terms of the compulsory edu-
cation law DIR. Harris became liable to
arrest and fine, not exceeding $50, with
in three days after he refused to comply
with the act. He says the truant officer
was notified that he had refused to send
his child to school because he would not
allow him to be vaccinated, but that
three weeks have elapsed and he has not
been warned.
DR.. Harris contends that the school
authorities cannot bar any child from
school if the child be in good health.
He further holds that the compulsory
vaccination law was repealed by the en-
actment of the compulsory education law
The committee of the board after sew
eral hearings on the question last month
decided that it had no power to construe
the limits Of the compulsory vaccination
law. Since that time the problem has
lain dormant
Judge Stanton J. Peelle, attorney for
the board Of education. has announced
that he will not take advantage of any
technicalities in the law and that the
question will be settled on its merits

Attorney Darr's Opinion.

Attorney Charles Darr said this morn
ing he was confident of winning the test
case.
The board is unwarranted In forcing
vaccination" said Mr.. Darr. THE regu-
atfon they are adhering to is based on
the law Of June %. 1854, which is SUPER
seded by the act of Congress of March 3,
1887. The latter provides for compulsory
vaccination only when the Commission
ers, tearing an epidemic, shall have is
sued general edict
Even If the law of 1854 We're still in
force the board would be wrong In fol-
lowing its present course, because section
Z OF this law gives it no authority to
promulgate an amendatory regulation
Section Z states: No child shall be ad.
mitted into the public schools who shall
not have been duly vaccinated or other
wise protected against smallpox Moth
Ing is said here about the board making
further amendments
Furthermore. who is to determine
whether child is otherwise protected d?
The law is not only obsolete, but ambig-
uous.'
The Anti-Vaccination Society and the
Personal Liberty League are interested In
the case. Members Of both organizations
are confident the stringent regulation
compelling inoculation will be modified
