PUBLIC! SCHOOL NOTES

+
| The order for vaccination is play
ling havoc with cur already depleted
school. A number of patrons have
withdrawn their children rather than
have them vaccinated We regret
their doing so, as it will mean the
failure of the children on their years
work And since it is possible thot
the vaccination regulation may be
made permanent, there will be no gain
in dropping out now.
We used to know a man who had
five children in school. Every time an
epidemic made it's appearance in
school, he took every child he had out
and kept them out the rest of the
year. His excuse was that his wife
had never had any of the common dis
eases and that he was afraid for her
to have them. Result number one: not
one of his children ever got to the
seventh grade; most of them stopped
at the fourth. Result number two ::
after the oldest boy was 81 he ran
into the measles-ead died. At least
one of our patrons is doing the same
thing.
Agnes and Emmett Henderson are
leaving this week Or Naylor, where
they are to live in future Helen
Jones is also moving away. Jesse
Canada is dropping out to work. We
regret the loss of these pupils.
Dana Little is reported i'll of ty-
phoid fever.
We sympathize deeply with Tommy
and Annie Burke in the loss of their
mother, who passed away last week.
Their loss is irreparable.
Exactly $50 cases of measles have
been reported to the teachers to date.
All this because one person disregard
ed the rights of other people. And
one one mother has been taken from
her family and two sweet girls snatch
ed from the home-nest. This also is a
part of the results.
We insist on more stringent quar-
antine regulation. When there is an
infectious disease in the home, no
member of the family not an immune
should be allowed on the streets. The
town can better afford to support the
family during the shut-in period than
to have such an upheaval as we are
now passing through.
We are beginning the practice of
having the several rooms of the school
take turns conducting the assembly
exercises. Room ten will begin Thurs
day and Room nine will follow Friday.
Our friends are invited to attend these
exercises. They promise to be inter-
esting
The teachers report great meeting
of the State Teachers Association.
Three thousand teachers were in at
tendance and the program was full
of helpful features. When Superin-
tendent Womack joined the associa
ton eleven years ago, the attendance
was 1873 and the meeting was held in
an old theater that nobody had any
other use for. Then not a speaker
from outside of the state appeared 5;
now we hear the biggest educators the
nation affords Truly the teaching
profession in Arkansas is moving up
wards.
