THE HEALTH BOARD
RE-OPENS SCHOOL
THOUGHT SAFE TO LET HIGHER
GRADES RESUME STUDIES ON
T MONDAY MORNING = STATE
MENT FROM HEALTH BOARD.

The Tazewell High School, which
had been closed for ten days, re-
opened Monday morning, except the
first, second, third, fourth and fifth
grades, which have been suspended
indefinitely. The pupils of the other
grades were permitted to return to
school, provided they produced GER
tificates of health satisfactory to the
school authorities and board of
health. A large number Of the pu-
pills returned.
A conference was held in the city
hall Saturday night between the
council and board and the scarlet
fever situation was thoroughly dis
eussed. DR.. Peirce, of the board of
health, stated that the disease had
existed in about eighteen families in
town, possibly fifty persons having
been affected. Councilmen jackson,
Greever, Johnson, Kiser and Mayor
Harman were present, all of whom
opposed the opening of the school
under any conditions, Councilman XII
ser contending that the disease is
now at its worst stages, more cases
existing in town now than at any
time since its origin. The board Of
health, however, after lengthy argu-
ment, decided to exercise their au-
thority, and open the schools, but
agreed to the dismissal Of the grades
mentioned above.
Prof. w. w. Carson, principal of
the High School, and Clerk w. l..
Moore, of the district school board,
were present at the meeting and
stated that the dismissal of the
grades would work little hardship
on the children in re-entering school
next year, but that the dismissal for
the rest of the session of the pupils
OF the high school would be of untold
harm to them, as number will grad
uate this session, and others will COM
plete the course; whereas, if they
missed the next two months it would
be necessary that they attend the
next session of the school in order
to secure certificate. A number of
the pupils expect to teach next ses-
sion, others expect to enter college,
but they can do neither without a
certificate of graduation from the
school or standing a rigid examina-
tion.
When these facts are considered,
the wisdom of the action of the board
of health, council and school authori-
ties is evident.

Board of Health Has Much
Authority

The town, as is we'll known, is suf-
fering from an epidemic of scarlet
fever, Of quite serious proportions.
The town has board of health, com
posed of three physicians, appointed
upon recommendation of the town
council, by the state board of health,
under the laws of the state Of Vir-
ginia. The business of the board of
health is to prevent sickness and cpl
denies, and to far as possible prevent
the spread Of the same. They seek
by every means to guard the people
of the town against diseases, and to
do what lies within their power to
promote the health of the citizens of
the community. This is what they are
supposed to do, and what they try to
do.
In the present epidemic, the board
after consultation with the town
council and others, including physi-
clans not members of the board, have
done what they thought was for the
best. They have recommended GER
tain things, and certain courses of
action, which was thought to be wise
in controlling the disease now preva-
lent and to prevent it's spread. The
point we would emphasize is, that
Chio uodiu mas, ny an ACT OF tne leglS-
lature passed in March, 1910, author
ity, and their regulations and recon-
mendations have the force of law.
Violations of or failure to comply
with its provisions is punishable by
fine or imprisonment. Another point
which should be emphasized is, that
the board is comparatively, if not
in reality, helpless, without the CO.
operation of the citizens of the town,
from the town council down. The
board, although clothed with authori-
ty by the state entirely independent
of other bodies, still needs the help
and cooperation of every citizen. So
long as we have a board of health,
its instructions should be faithfully
complied with. If the board is in
competent to handle the situation
they should give place to others. The
gentlemen composing the board serve
without any compensation what
ever, either for time or service-not
even thanks, and if the board is to be
of service in driving this scourge
from our midst, we all should gladly
cooperate in every way possible.

The Roads, Good snd Bad.

And now, 1 want to say word
on the question of roads. From
Tazewell to Dry Town is fine new
road. From Witten's Mill to Tiptop
the road is great, but from Dry Town
to Witten's Mill is simply awful, ex-
asperating, and disgrace to any
people. 1t took US forty minutes to
drive from Dry Town to Witten's
Mill, a distance of about mile. From
Witten's Mill to Tiptop, a distance of
five miles, / drove in thirty-five min
utes, and with less worry and injury
to horse and buggy than was caused
by the one mile gap. Why these
miserable, shameful gaps should have
been left in the road building all over
the county, cannot be explained on
any reasonable, sensible grounds.
Somebody blundered, and blundered
woefully and shamefully. If there is
worse or more provoking, Sunday
school speech destroying, ruinous
piece of road for a buggy or wagon
tween Witten's Mill and Dry Town,
have yet to find or hear of it. And
the worst part of the matter is, there
seems to be no prospect of fixing it
any time soon. Who is to blame?
Who, or what other road got the
money that was supposed to be used
on this road? Or, was there ever any
money appropriated for it? II not,
why not?
The road from Witten's Mill is
magnificent, and an absolute delight
and great benefit. The gap" cuts
off everybody from Tazewell who may
wish to drive here, except in case of
absolute necessity. The "gap" dis
counts all the fine road going and
coming. j. A. L.

Board Of Health as far as possible.

Board of Health as far as possible.
We feel that our physicians will
give us hearty cooperation in the
work, for without their aid we can
hope to accomplish very little.
We wish to state that in opening the
High School and two upper grades
we have done so in accordance with
the regulations of the State Board
of Health after having it closed for
a period of twelve days, rigid GER
tificate being required from each pu-
pill and teacher.
1t was the opinion of some of our
most prominent citizens that the
school should have remained closed
permanently, but when we take into
account the fact that every student
in the High School would lose one
year and those in the grades n half
year, we felt justified in reopening
and taking every precaution to keep
the disease from gaining entrance to
the school.

having gained such headway before
it's discovery, but we can expect to
greatly lessen its ravages if we have
the support and sympathy of our cit

seem harsh or inconsistent remember

Statement by Board of Health.


There seems to be some doubt and
uncertainty existing nthe public's
mind as to what the previous orders
of the Board of Health mean and as
to what means have been taken for
the protection of the public health
during the present outbreak of scar
let fever. So, we desire to reiterate
specifically the measures heretofore
ordered:
All public or private gatherings
have been prohibited. All schools,
churches, prayer meetings, Sunday
Schools, Choir practices, Whist Clubs,
Picture Shows, Dances or other gath
erings of any kind.
All parents are required to keen
their chilren, under the age of ID, at
home, and all such are prohibited
from visiting or appearing on the
streets. This order has been so mod
flied as to allow the schools above the
9Th grade to reopen and to except
such children as had returned to the
school during the necessary passage
between their homes and the school.
All churches and Sunday School
rooms have been ordered fumigated
before reopening.
After recovery from the disease
the quarantine will be raised in ac.
cordance with the rules of the State
Board of Health. All physicians have
been asked to isolate their patients
establish rigid quarantine, give or.
ders for the disinfection of ali cloth.

and to do whatever they may deem
necessary to prevent the spread OF
the disease. We would suggest tha,

Masons Propose Now Buildinp.


Steps were taken by the Masonic
Lodge here at it's regular meeting
Monday night towards the erection
of II fine Temple here within the near
future. A committee especially APP
pointed to propose plans for raising
the necessary funds reported that the
initiation fee should be raised to
$500 and dues to $500 per year.
The report of the committee further
provided that the initiation fec and
the ono dollar additional derived from
dues, should be lnid aside as q sink
ing fund for the proposed building.
Tho members of Tazewell Lodge
have realized for some time that It's
membership and financial strength
have outgrown the present quarters,
and that moro modern building was
needed. 1t is believed, that II tho
report of the committee is finally
adopted, within few years sufficient
funds will be in hand to form u nucles
for the the necessary building fund.
Notices are being. sent out to the
members outlining the plan, and re-
qucsting a full attendance of the
membership Mt the regular meeting
in May, when the matter will be
finally disposed of.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
"Shot Gun Quarantine"

"The only way, said prominent
physician, "to establish and main
tain absolute quarantine is with n
shot gun" He said that to maintain
a perfect, isolation in time of epidem-
ic, was almost, if not quite an impos-
sibility. To keep people in and 9TH
ers out is a hard proposition, and at
the same time, in cases of certain
diseases, such as scarlet fever, quar-
antine is the only means to prevent
the spread and stamp out the dis
ease. The Importance of close and
absolute isolation therefore, is ap-
parent; but almost impossible. Every
case of scarlet fever contracted, was
taken from some other case. The
lesson taught is, that every citizen of
the community should do his best to
carry out the instructions and recon-
mendations of the authorities. Unless
the people help there is no telling how
long the town will be afflicted by
this scourge. Don't make it neces-
sary to establish "shot gun" quar-
antine.

GETTING READY FOR
BOOM IN BUSINESS
NORFOLK & WESTERN TO PLACE
ORDER FOR FORTY BIG EN-
GINES THAT MAY BE BUILT IN
VIRGINIA.
Richmond Evening Journal.

Thirty-seven freight engines of the
Mallet type have been ordered by the
Norfolk and Western Railway from
the American Locomotive Works. ac-
cording to information received here,
Whether the engines will be built
IN Richmond has not been definitely
determined, but every effort will be
made to have the order placed with
the Richmond works, and business or
ganizations, for which this city is
justly famous, have already started
campaign.
The engines will cost over $4,000
each, the total order, therefore, being
worth considerably over 5000 900. II
is said that the local branch of the
Locomotive Works can easily fill
the order.
IL the order is placed here every
available man will probably be taken
on ON the the works run day and night.
The placing of the order with the
Richmond plant would mean n great
deal to the city-not only to the work
men who will build the locomotives.
but to many business interests which
Will be benefitted-and consequently
If the efforts of the business men Of
Richmond can land the order, the
locomotives will be built in the Rich
