verge Of a nervous collopse. brought
on by the strain of teaching sixty
pupils in one room. Miss Anderson
has had Miss Ruth Hover assisting

not met with success. DIR. Hartman
suggested that the room be divided
and two sessions of school held, em-
ploying teacher for each session.
The first session would attend school

and the second session from to

CROSSED the brow of Garry Hermann,
president and chairman of the Ma

was informed Tuesday that a group
of bookmakers are making a future
book" on the races of the National

The future book of the baseball
races is being backed by a group of
bookmakers who are operating from
Newport. Kentucky although their
homes are in Cincinnati.
Future books have been placed un-
der the ban by the government but
the bookles have placed themselves
outside government Jurisdiction by
sending out circulars by express and
soliciting bets by express, telephone
or telegraph.
Future books on stake events, run
ON race tracks, were common years
ago hut the government ruled that
they were lotteries and put the future
bookmakers out of business.

eussed General and Compulsory
Vaccination.

Al joint meeting OF Durham board OF

Friday afternoon the members pres
cnt favored compulsory vaccination
10 prevent the further spread OF small
pox. A general vaccination. withou,
quarantine barriers. was also favor
ed and letters from the secretary oil
health OF South Carolina TO DR.. RAN
kin. secretary OF the state board OF
health OF North Carolina. were read.
Many Of the members OF the board
OF commissioners were In favor OF the
compulsory form although there were
come to compelling every person TO
be yaccinated as thai would create
much dissatisfaction. on the other
hand general vaccination with no
barriers on quarantine would mean
that every town in he state would
quarantine against Durham, thus
Injuring the merchants and manufac-
turers in the sale Of their commodi-
ties.
Among those who spoke In favor OF
taking action along this line were
Mayor Griswold. Dr. Manning. DIR.
Mann and Mr. 7. D. Fulle-. Mr.. W. A.
Erwin stated tha, West Durham was
willing 10 follow tho lead OF Durham
In handling this situation. but chat he
was unable to require compulsory
vaccination alone In his mills, when
many Of the residents 81 this section
worked in other factories. Mr.. L. u.
Markham. chairman OF the boa q OF
commissioner. stared that as only
some Of the members Of the board
were present he was unable TO state
their position upon compulsory yacci-
nation.
u was stated that as long as there
was in Durham men lIse Mr. r. o.
Patterson. Il would be difficult "a
handle the situation properly unless
compulsory steps were taken.
The view OF the gentlemen pres
ent was that the best medical experts
recommended vaccination for the dis.
ease and that this step should be
taken. being the best information
that they wer able 10 obtain upon the
subject.
