Must Be Yaccinated.

The following from the Acting
State Health Commissioner is of
interest to every parent or Others
having the guardianship of chill
dren that will attend the public
schools this year.
For more than year we have
been having persistent outbreaks
of smallpox in various portions Of
the State, in certain sections the
law requiring the vaccination of
all school children has been vio-
lated on the part of school au-
thorities.
1T is especially important dur
ing the period of this war, when
the resources Of the Nation must
be carefully conserved, that every
possible precaUtion should BEEN
ployed to protect the lives and
health of our children and that
epidemics of disease with their
Gripping effect in the production
of foodstuf and ammunition be
avoided.
1.-The law requires the State
Department of Health to see that
the public health laws are carried
out, and measures will be taken
this coming fall to have the vac
cination law fully enforced. We
hope this may be accomplished
without resorting to prosecutions,
and trust, therefore, that school
authorities will take acton before
the opening of the coming schoo
term. Instructing all principals
and teachers not to permit the
violation of this law by allowing
children to enter the schools with
out the proper certificate of vac
cination.
Parents cannot evade the Law
by keeping their children at home
for by so doing they become VIC
laters of the compulsory attend
ance law and are subject to fine
