DIR. BARRETT URGES
= VACCINATION DRIVE

A request is being made by DR.. Stan
ton Barrett, city health director. to all
factory operators in Chattanooga ask
ing them to have all of their employees
vaccinated against smallpox. This, OF
course. does not apply to those who
have been successfully vaccinated. Dr.
Barrett says that this is the only way
to exterminate smallpox in any COM
munity.
DR.. Barrett said this morning that
notices will be sent out to the diff
ferent factories and stores in the city
concerning smallpox vaccination. The
employers will be asked to make a
canvass of their employees and to either
have those, vaccinated who have
not already been vaccinated. by
by their factory nurse or physician,
or notify the city health depart
ment and a physician will be sent to
the factory for the purpose of yaccinat-
ing them.
In April. 1918, the health report shows
eighteen cases OF smallpox that oc-
CURED in Chattanooga, and in the same
month in 1919 it was reduced to nine
cases. So far this month there have
been only three cases.

Million and Half High School
Plan Urged by Supt. r. L.
Jones.
MORE LAND is SOUGHT
Don't Repeat Present c. II. S.
Mistake, He Urges Chamber
of Commerce Committee.

A resolution approving OF the
$1,000, 900 high school plan for Chat
tanooga and favoring the purchasing
of property adjoining the present
high school site was passed by MEM
bers of the chamber of commerce
forum committee Friday night.
This action was taken by the COM
mittee following talk made by
Supt. II. l.. Jones, of the city schools,
in which he explained in detail the
future plans for a new s1,500,000
high school. Mr.. Jones said that in
order to carry out the plans of the
department OF education in erecting
the department buildings II would
be necessary 20 purchase the prop
erty on the east side OF the present
site recently bought by the city. This
new site referred to is the old Gar
denhire home and includes Ave lots
and tho home place. The present
property owned by the city Is about
eleven and one-half acres, and the
Gardenhire home site would add an
other acre to the original site.
Seek New Bond Issue.
Mr.. Jones explained that the pres
ent plan OF the department OF edu-
cation is to erect the front part of
the main building, including the au-
ditorium, at a cost OF 100000. and
go before the legislature in January
and get a bond issue that will en-
able the department to put up q
high school that will he a credit 10
Chattanooga and one that will grow
with the city.
The speaker told his hearers that
it is very asy for the department
to make mistake In a building that
is to determine the educational prog
ress of the city for the next forty
years. At the same time he pointed
out that the method by which the
school is to be finished depends en-
tirely on the people OF Chattanooga
for. declared he, a school is typical
of what the people desire.
1.-THE question now is whether we
shall build a cheap building or one
that will be as good as any high
school, not only in the south, but
anywhere in the country" said Mr.
Jones. He urged them not to make
the same mistake that was made fif-
teen years ago when the present
Chattanooga High school WIS built
when scarcely had it been completed
than the people realized that IL was
not even large enough to cover the
then present needs. "Now the build
ing that is vet in its i'fancy is
ready TO he discarded" declared Mr.
Jones. For this reason he urged
that the Chattanooga people put
enough money in the new high schoo
to make 1t permanent.
Suit Schools TO City
In explaining the unit plan Mr.
Jones pointed out that Chattanooga
