VACCINATION is COMPULSORY

To the Patrons of the Oakes Public
Schools: During the summer I have
received a notice from the State
Board of Health, informing me that il
would hold all school superintendents
responsible for the enforcing of the
law of vaccination.
Since law requires that all pupils
attending school. public or private,
must be vaccinated, and having re-
ceived the above mentioned communi.
cation, there is no choice for me but
to see to it that the law is complied
with. 1t is not question for me to
decide whether the law is good or
bad.
Therefore, after November first, all
pupils not vaccinated will be excluded
from school. Action will be brought
against those failing to return their
children to school under the Compul-
sorry Attendance Law.
Clarence E. Blume,
Superintendent.

city is not to be doubted, states that

would address itself to such condi.
tions.
Oakes has a splendid future. 1t is
the best town in the southern part of
the state. Its railroad facilities are
unexcelled. It's business houses are
second to none. What it needs is good
