ing nearly 80 per cent immunity
from these two diseases in both OF
the city's schools, it was announced
from the school health department
Approximately percent Of the
student bodies had been previously
immunized and hence did not come
under this program. 172 Of the
vaccinated students were from st.
PauPs Parochial School.
Immunizations were offered
free to students of both schools
when the vaccine for both dyphth-
eria and small pox were furnished
by the State Health Department
and other expenses incurred were
handled by the local School Board.
Administering the vaccinations
were city physicians who worked
three days on the project. All vac
cinations given were with the writ
ten consent Of parents.
Said Miss Alma Rehm, school
nurse, that some parental objec-
ton was found because Of misun-
derstood ideas in regard to vaccin-
atoms. Others who were not vac
cinated failed to return their cards
on time. It was learned further
that reasonable assurance Of con-
troll could be expected should a
case or two Of small pox or dyph-
liberia break out. It is believed
that epidemic could be averted
among school children. Immuniza-
lions are effective from 8 to 7 years

Baccalaureate Service

Character education and spirit
ual education were linked togeth-
err and stressed as a necessity for
the well-being of the students by
the Rev. P. ]. Jansen, pastor of the
Congregational Church Of Sank
Centre, when he delivered the BAG
calaureate address in the Junior
High School auditorium Sunday
evening.
Education and religion go hand
in hand, and although 1t Is a
straight and narrow path, it is not
straight laced, said Rev. Jansen.
He admonished the class members
to keep to the right; he said
that laws show the way but are
not restraints, and that one can go
along in life as one pleases, but to
be careful of the goal we set for
ourselves.
Education and religion are two
component parts Of life, he said,
and with an education and religion
they can go forth and do things.
He admonished the class in the
matter Of right and wrong, and
stated that a thing is right when
it helps either self or someone else
to become bigger person-it Is
wrong II it does not, or II 1t harms
self or some person. He warned
against the evils Of drinking,
smoking, stealing, and petting, and
urged the young people to encour-
age their generation In the fight
against war; claiming that other
generations and his generation had
failed miserably in the matter Of
world peace. With religion and ed
ucation linked together, he said,
they would be able to climb and
grow stronger in their work day
by day.
The program was opened with
the professional, 'Romaine," by
Gounod, played by the school or
chestra, under the direction Of Ed
Kitzberger, instructor Of music.
The girls Glee Club, also under the
direction Of Mr. Kitzberger, gave
spendid renditions of Bonnie
Doom" and TN the Garden Of To
morrow" An instrumental quar-
tette, consisting Of Dorothy Hen
ningsgaard, Leone Holler, Ruth
Westhoff and Marjorie Westhoff,
played whispering Hope" The in
strumentation of this quartette
consisted Of a slide trombone and
three clarinets. The audience sang
the hymn, Faith Of Our Fathers"
and following the benediction by
Rev. Jansen, the school orchestra
played the occasional, and the
class Of 1887 left to prepare for the
final step of graduation, the COM
mencement exercises to be held to-
night.
