Group Starts Own School
10 Fight Vaccination
BY the Associated Press.

os WIG NssOClAtCO HACSS.
CAMDEN, N. j., March 16.-Par-
ents who started classes in a dining
room rather than have their chill
dren vaccinated said yesterday at
hearing before a deputy State COM
missioner of education that they
could not comply with compulsory
vaccination order because Of their
religious beliefs.
Children of 10 South New Jersey
families started to their own class
In the home of one Of the families
several months ago. The parents
hired a teacher, borrowed books
from the School Board and de-
manded the hearing to protest the
vaccination ruling.
Adolph Greening, who turned
over the dining room at his home
for the private class, told Deputy
Commissioner Charles j. Strahan:
1T is written in the Bible that
we shall take many medicines, but
we shall not be healed"
Other parents who appeared with
him agreed that their opposition to
the Pennsauken Township School
Boards vaccination order was pri-
marily for religious reasons. They
added, however, that some of them
feared other ailments might result
from the vaccine injections.
The parents said at the hearing
they would appeal to the Supreme
Court If necessary. They said their
children should be permitted to at
tend public schools, not forced to
study at home.

Mr.. Hester declared that by the

Old Fear Of Leprosy
Described as Just
Another Phobia'
Only 1000 Cases in U. s..
Health Service Says;
None infectious
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CARVILLE, La, March l6.-Fear
Of leprosy is "just another phobia"
in tho public mind, United States
Public Health Service oficers assert.
Despite the fact that from time
immemorial lepers have been out
casts from society, leprosy 10 less
contagious than tuberculosis, less
prevalent than cancer, they declared
In q day-long interview and inspec-
ton Of the Governments national
leprosarium-they prefer to call it
the United States Marine Hospital.
In many cases it can be successfully
treated, they added.
DR.. H. E. Hasseltine, medical d.
rector Of the hospital, declared that
after centuries Of study it has never
been proved to be transmissible
through even direct contact, let
alone remote contact. There are
only about 1000 cases Of leprosy in
the country out of our 10000 900
people, none of whom could be re-
garded as infectious, so it Is nothing
to worry about"
DR.. Hasseltine has worked with
leprosy for about IS years, along
with many other Public Health
Service physicians. And nuns Of
the Sisters Of Charity order have
cared for patients here for . half
century, but none ever has con-
tracted the disease.
DR.. Hasseltine, members OF his
medical stan and many Of Carvilles
$40 patients would like to publicize
leprosy in the same way that
Surg. Gen. Thomas Parran Of the
Public Health Service brought syph-
Ills and gonorrhea into the open.
One patient declared that If lep-
rosy is understood, properly dag
nosed and treated quickly 1t may be
eradicated."
The treatment of leprosy is SINH
lar to the treatment of tuberculosis,
DR.. Hasseltine declared. While pa
tients are given chaulmugra oil, the
standard medicine, the most efIec-
tive remedies are complete rest,
proper food, sunshine and a proper
mental attitude.
And many. If not most, patients
thrive under such treatment. he
added. About 20 out Of every 100
persons who enter the hospital are
released after II monthly tests show
them to be free of the disease, and
many more could leave II they
wished, but they prefer to stay.
