 Family Reunion at Compounce.
 Final test of the vaccination rul- ing that all school children, teach. CTS and attaches must have evidence or satisfactory vaccine treatment will take place on Wednesday with the resumption of school. The time limit set by Health Officer J. I. Woisard ends tomorrow and accord ing to the only figures available, not all of the school children or attaches have been vaccinated. The move- ment has gained impetus within the last few days and an estimate this morning from local physicians set the number as vaccinated as about 50 per cent of the school personnel
 The city at large is awaiting the re-opening of school. The board of education has passed no order rela- tive to vaccination but has recom- mended that the ruling of Dr. Wois- ard be carried out. As the next meeting of the board will not be held for several days, the situation stands at present with no order of the board of education on record.
 With this situation existing people are wondering whether or not chill dren will be excluded from the schools if the vaccination order has not been compiled with. This dras- tic step is considered rather remote, however. as through the conciliatory moves of several of the city officials and mem mbers of the medical frater- nifty much of the hostility to the health officers ruling is disappear ing.
 Health Officer Woisard had mat ters we'll in hand, according to the doctors, until the eventful session of the board of health when he refused to leave the high school bathing pool to attend meeting after two health commissioners had gone after him.
