Plans to Teach School
by Radio Lessons

The South African Government is
formulating plans for sending les
sons by radio to children who an
not great distances to the
nearest school house.
Parents would be instructed by
broadcast as to how their children
should proceed with the lessons
transmitted, and would also be-
asked to Supervise their pupils"
who, 1t is suggested. might work in
groups.
The Government has great hopes
that this plan will solve the prob

Foreign Office Will Issue
First Statement on
New Legislation.
By WILLIAM P. FLYTHE
Universal Service Staff Correspondent.

tm'ersoi service sthff correspondent.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 5.-The for
eign office indicated today that on
Monday afternoon will be issued the
first Mexican statement regarding
this country's anti-foreign legislation
right about which the United States
Ambassador Sheffield has made rep
reservations.
If the American ambassador has
anything to say it will follow the
issuance of the statement, but the
impression Mt the embassy is that
either President Coolidge will say
something on the subject TO Congress
or else Secretary of State Kellogg
will issue formal note for publica-
tor in Washington.
Ambassador Sheffield last night re-
affirmed that nothing quoting him
was true. and denied having any COM
munication with Minister Saenz on
the subject since November %. when
he outlined the views of the United
States in event of the passage of the
laws.
In this connection, any hope for
failure of the passage of the land law
seems to have gone glimmering, as
President Gales has sent special in
structions to the senate to pass it

Vaccination is the only known means for
controlling the spread OF smallpox, the most
loathesome and fatal disease known to man. All
individuals, ages, races, classes and conditions
OF mankind suffer equally from the ravages OF
uncontrolled smallpox. Before the days OF
vaccination scarcely a decade passed in any
tropics without an epidemic of this dread dis
ease. "The most terrible of all the ministers

that already we have almost forgotten that
smallpox before the time of Jenner was re-
sponsible for average of ten per cent OF all
deaths in civilized countries, and, an
greater percentage in semi-civilized and savage
countries where it appeared. Prior to the dis
covery of vaccination over half a million deaths
from smallpox occurred annually in Europe.
and, the blind, deaf, and disfieured following in
speaking for England, says: smallpox was ever
present filling the church yards with corpses.

from time 10 time caused protest against
vaccination and demand in the name OF
liberty for the right to expose the unvaccinated
children and the unprotected part of the popua-
zion to the danger of the spread of smallpox.
Vaccination properly done with properly pre-
pared virus has never caused death or been
responsible for any damage whatever to the in
6iyidual. Successful vaccination gives the same
protection against smallpox that is given by an
attack of the dread disease itself. In over
ninety per cent of vaccinated individuals the
protection is absolute and in the rest vaccina-
ton renders the subsequent attacks Of smallpox
so mild that the patients recover without
blemish
Out Of the countless millions of vaccinations
(many of them done carelessly and with i'm
properly prepared virus) it seems miracle that
so few serious results have been reported. A
child scratched with pin or n splinter who
suffers from any slight injury that breaks the
skin il in much more danger OF blood poisoning
and other serious consequences than is the in
dvidual who is vaccnated even by careless
person. The record Of over four million com
pulsory vaccinations for army service. during
the war. and Of the many millions of school
children who vaccinated In this country and
elsewhere annually shows vaccination TO be one
of the simplest and least harmful protective
measures that can be taken against any disease
The number Of lives saved, and the amount of
permanent damage prevented by vaccination Is
matter of common knowledge More children
in the schools hurt. injured and killed at
play in the swings and ut football and other
sports in one year than have been damaged by
vaccination in the past century. More dam
age is done by the carelessness Of parents who
permit their children 70 eat indscreetly at
school than vaccination has ever been accused
Of doing.

April 11.-An outbreak OF plague has
made imperative a change in the plans
OF the Prince of Wales, and his in
tended visit to Lagos, Crown Colony,

The prince was eager to adhere to
his program and suggested that the
risk of infection might be avoided by
using an alternative route, but this
was found impracticable and the
princes medical attendants, after
taking expert opinion, advised aban-
comment of that part of the tour.
The prince will remain in the Gold
Coast colony until April 21. Today
he enjoyed a 70-mile motor ride from
Rosusa. on the railway in the interior,

iS cut through a luxurious jungle, the
rest being open grass lands. At one
village he was greeted by the local
chief, who is the millionaire owner of
cocoa lands. The native chief wore a
golden crown and escorted the prince
back to his car under a massive multi
Colored umbrella.
Wales also alghted at Nsawan.
where another gorgeously arrayed
chief presented him with a gold ink
stand and pen. The prince immedi-
ately wrote his signature, as a sort of
tes of its serviceability. The chief
also gave him an antelope, which
shortly afterward was slaughtered
and eaten.
The natives gathered at various
points along the route, and whenever
the prince and his attendants appeared
