Vacclnatloh Parties.

Prompt vaccination of all children who
will enter school this fall and who have
not been protected against smallpox is
strongly urged by DR.. John S. Fulton, Direc-
tor of the State Department of Health.
The lead in this direction was taken by
one of the colored schools in Easton. In
preparation for the opening of the schools
in September and for the questions that
will be put to all new first graders, Have
you been vaccinated against smallpox 7
Show US your scar 2" the teachers arranged
for vaccination party to which any I'M
vaccinated children in the school and
their young sisters and brothers were in
vited. According to all reports the party
was complete success.
At the child health conferences that
are being held throughout the state under
the auspices of the Bureau of Child Hy-
giene. special note is made of the children
who will reach school age this year and
who have not been protected against
smallpox. Their mothers have been ad-
vised to lose no time in taking the child
rem to their family doctor to have them
vaccinated.
In one Of the conferences. thirteen
out of fourteen prospective first graders
had never been vaccinated. In others over
half had not been vaccinated. None of
these children would be eligible for admls-
sion to school, Out of the total of 1921
children, from S to years old examined
at the health conference in 1925. about
two out of every three children-l960 al
together were unprotected from small
pox. Hurry calls had to be made to their
family doctor or to their nearest health
officer and the children vaccinated before
they could be received in any of the
schools.
Though smallpox has been on the in
crease in many other States" DIR. Fulton
said. Maryland has been almost free from
the disease, with only is cases in 1925 {;
2 in the counties and ID in Baltimore City,
and with in 1925. all Of them in the
counties; none in Baltimore City. 1t has
only been through the careful enforcement
of our vaccination law which makes it i'm
possible for a child to be admitted to
school unless vaccinated and through the
intelligent corporation of the people Of the
state that Maryland has been able to have
a clean slate so far as this most Ioathsome
disease is concerned"
