NEW SYSTEM TO
HALT DIPHTHERIA
Health Officers to Discuss Sub.
ject in Convention.

A system of vaccination which may do
away entirely with the spread of diph-
iberia will be inaugurated in the public
schools of Indiana within a short time,
DR.. J. y. Hurry, secretary of the State
board of health, announced today. The
subject will be taken up at a meeting
of the health officers of the State at the
Claypool Hotel May 10 and Il. The sys-
TEN will be explained by DR.. E. G. Kyle
Of Indianapolis.
According to DR.. Hurry, only certain
persons are susceptible to diphtheria and
others are naturally immune. The vac
cination system will determine the per-
sons who are liable to take the disease
and those who do show such tests may
have been entirely immunized, DR.. Hurry
said.
"If diphtheria continues TO kill children
it will be their parents fault" DR.. Hurry
said.
He said the proposed system has been
in existence about six years and has
proved entirely successful
Another speaker at the convention will
be DR.. J. Fl. Stokes, venereal disease spe-
ciaIist at the Mayo clinic, who will speak
on the relation of venereal diseases to
surgery.
Public health nurses will hold a con
vention at the same time as the health
officers and one joint meeting will be
held.
