until probably more than sixty per cent. of the children under twelve have not been protected, but if were to order general vaccination of all children or forbid all unvac- cinated children to attend school, a majority of those affected, would rise in rebellion Every precaution has been taken by the town and health authorities for the care and protec- ton of the patients. Living in an isolated section of the town there is very little danger of communication with the outside world and as the family have expressed a willingness to abide by the orders. of the au- thorities there will be no guard placed on the house. The cases are of the mildest type and nothing serious is expected to result from them.

warded with fifty seven individual ap-

considered good from the fact that they
did not start their campaign until the
working on small salaries or from those
who had previously subscribed to the
