Taxpayers at Meeting Instruct School

Law Providing for Collection of Tu-
ition From Outside Students-May
Enlarge District.

Without a single dissenting voice
the report of the committee of ten
prominent business men and taxpay-
ers, condemning the high school
building was unanimously adopted by
the Commercial association last night
and the sentiments of the report were
expressed as the sentiments of the as
sociation.
The report declared the present
building to be inadequate for school
purposes, veritable fire trap and
unsanitary because of lack vi proper
heating and ventilating facilities. The
tearing down of the present structure
and the erection of new one on the
same ground was also the recommen-
dation carried in the report which en-
dorsed the action of the school board
in calling a special election to vote
100000 in bonds to construct the
building and complete the Lincoln
school building.
While the attendance at the meet
ing last night was not as large as had
been anticipated it was a thoroughly
representative gathering of all class
es, the number of heavy taxpayers
present being especially gratifying.
The members of the investigating
committee who all signed the report
were: G.. NJ Rice, w. L. Thompson,
James Johns, Leon Cohen, T. c. Tay-
lor, r. Alexander. Elmer Snyder, c..
NJ. Bishop, E. ]. Murphy and G. 1.

strict letter of the law and compelling
pupils enumerated in other districts TO

been brought to the attention of the
board in report from County School
Superintendent Welles in which he
made a number of suggestions and
recommendations concerning the
schools of this district. This report,
says Mr. Wells, was made in COM
piiance with the school laws.
DR.. Smith explained that for sever
al years the school board has been e.
noring this section of the school laws
for the reason that they had found 1t
unprof' table to attempt to collect this
tuition. He said the board was anxi-
Gus to have an expression from the
taxpayers present and upon motion of
r. Alexander, the board was directed
to pay no attention to that part of the
superintendents report recommending
that the district compel outside stu
dents to pay tn ton, unless it be alb
solutely necessary.

ALL MEN IN ARMY !.
TO Be VACC|NATED
AGAINST TYPHOID
Officials Convinced Uncle
Sans Force Can Be Made
Immune From Fever.

Within period Of less than a year
every officer and enlisted man In the
United States army will be theoretically
immune from typhoid fever. Army sur
geons insist that they will not be merely
theor etically immune. but that they will
be actually so.
An order has been issued by Gen.
Leonard Wood, chief Of staff of the
army, directing the surgeons In the
whole service to begin the process OF
inoculattng the army against typhoid,
tie greatest enemy any permanent
fighting force has.
1t has taken many years for the
medical authorities OF the army to de-
eide that vaccination should become
compulsory. They at first made II en-
tirely optional with the men, and not
until the maneuver division was mo-
bilized In Texas six months ago did
the first compulsory order 60 out.
Every officer and man in that body Of
troops was vaccinated, and not a fatal
case of typhoid was contracted by the
division. This experiment was convinc-
ing.
Surg. Gen. George H Torney
has just recommended vaccination TO
Secretary Stimson. and the Secretary
has decided that the whole army should
have the benefit Of this protection.
