 anee and Cleaner Pupils.
Especial Hartford correspondence)

Special Hartford Correspoudence)
 Hartford pr Joseph H. Townsend, secretary of the state board oi health, in report to Governor Simeon E.. Baldwin on the years work, favors oblie3t6ry medicinal inspection in schools in ali towns of more than 5000 population The report said in part. under the medical inspection law which is pefmissiye only, systematic children. more or less complete, has been established in most of the city schools. and ill many towns through out the state The reports as a rule show excellent results and state that there has been less sickness with a larger percentage of attendance, clean or children and the children do better work. We believe that any change in the vaccination laws at this time would be unfortunate. Smallpox has been very prevalent throughout the country during the past few years, al though in mid form, and Connecticut has not escaped. Willimantic, Nauga- tuck and Hartford have had epidemics which have cost these cities thousands of dollars" The report further says;
 That the state board should have power to protect public water supplies from dangerous contamination and thus to regulate the disposal of sew age. is now generally recognized among men who have given the prob lem consideration" Discussing the matter of extending the authority of the board, the report says: "A popu- lar impression prevails in some quart CTS that the state board of health has almost unlimited powers in matters relating to health and comfort, but as already stated such is not the case. Sufficient authority should be given them to protect the public health as the people have the right to expect" :"
