AN EXHAUSTIVE OPINION Tha Court HTlew tho Vaflts ami Decides That tho Ilaard Had a night to llamas Adtnlaliin to Children not Complying With Ilia Ordluanoaa. As the School Board of Shenaniloiih has ordered that nil children who do not bIiow certificates of vaccination by April 10, next, will ho suspended from tho pub lic schools nud the people nro engaged in discussing tho question whether the Board has u right to make sucli nn order, tho opinion in tho caso of Andrew J. Duffleld vs. the School District of tho city of Williamsport, which was decided by Judge Mctzger, of Lycoming county, on Thursday, will no doubt bo perused with interest by tho Hhkai.d readers. As tho child of Mr. Dufllold was not vaccinated tho School Board of Williams port refused to allow it to attend school Mr. Duflleld asked the court for n man damus commanding tho Board to admit tho child. The court recites nil that has been done and proceeds to consider whether the child has been unlawfully excluded. De cisions of the supreme court are cited to the ellect that school boards are quasi corporations tho same as counties and townships, and that if they exercise their discretionary powers unwisely there Is no judicial remedy. The opinion proceeds : It imiHt bo conceded thatn School Board can exercise no other powers than : First, those granted in express words: second. those necessarily or fairly implied in or incident to uie powers expressly granted; third, those essential to tho declared ob ject and purposes for which tho school district was created. After a careful research I find no act of Assembly which by express words confers upon uie school isoarii ui any district tho power exercised by the board of school directors in this case. If, therefore, they nave sucn power it must nrise uy neces sary implication. In nddltlon to the ex press powers delegated by the Legislature of Pennsylvania to the boards of school directors, enumerated in the act of 1854, the Legislature granted them the nower to cxerci&o a general supervision over the publo schools of their districts. If in the exercise of this power of general super vision mo uoaru ol directors were to and It necessary for the purpose of continuinir the schools to adopt a sanitary measure for the purpose of preventing tho spread of disease among the pupils, wo think thoy clearly ha vo the powor to adopt such measure. Tho imrnose of the school svstem Is the education at the expense of the public of all persons within certain ages. The ob ject of tho creation of districts is to more conveniently nccomnlish the mirnow of the system of public, schools. This object cannot ue nccompusueu unless tue oody having supervision of the schools in the respective districts has power to adopt suehjrules nnd regulations as would en able them nt all times to keep the schools open, and aiTord all children of school ago within tho district tho boneflt of proper instruction. It is clenrly the right as well 'as the duty of tho board of school direc tors in case of imminent danger of tho spread of contagious diseases to do every thing in their power that may bo deemed necessary to prevent such diseases from being enrriod and transmitted to the pu pils of tho school by those infected with it or those who by reason of their contact with infected persons are likely to Inocu late others with whom they are allowed to mingle. This power it it oxlsts could not bo advantageously exercised in anv other way than by the exclusion from the school ot tho parties who are likely to spread the disease among the pupils. If tho board of school directors had in no case-such power they would be powerless to preserve the oxistenco ot the schools during the period when contagions dis eases were nbroad in tho community. But it may be said that although In such an emergency sucli power might ho ex orcised by nny temporary suspension of the pupil, ho would have to bo reinstated as soon as the danger ceased; that the board of directors could not suspend any pupil permanently for any such cause. We may grant this position. But we do not seo that this necessarily conflicts with the position taken by the School Board in this case. According to the facts stated in Iho answer tho danger of this disease becoming epidemic in the city ot Williamsport lias not yel ceased to exist and even during the contlnunnce of the danger it is not proposed permanently to exclude this pupil from school. He can by his own act nny day mako himself eligible for admission to the school. He Is keeping himself out of school by refus ing to comply with the ordinance of the city of Williamsport, which it was deemed necessary by t he School Board of said dis trict to recognize as a precautionary measure to prevent tho introduction and spread of the loathsome disease of small pox in tho city of Williamsport. Granting, however, that no snch danger exists and no such emergency has arisen which would Justify the School Board in assuming such authority of their own volition, are they not justified in exclud ing from school any pupil who seeks tp enter in violation of tho ordinance of the city of Williamsport? In such n case is not the pupil illegally attempting to enter the school and are not tho board of direc tors simply discharging their duty when they refuso to admit it in violation of the city ordinancef Granting, for the sake of the argument, that the school board have no policu nower. nud. therefore, can make no rules. orders, or regulations relating to the health of tho children, they certainly have a right to obey nnd enforce obedience to tho ordinances on tho subject enacted by tho properauthorltles. With tho wisdom of this ordinance we have nothing to do, Tho city ot Williamsport having the undoubted power to make regulations to eecuro the general health of the in habitants, are tho Judges of the necessity of adopting the measure In controversy for the prevention of the spread of the dis ease of smallpox. If uo necessity any longer oxlsts for such an ordinance then it ought to be repealed. Until it is re pealed It hinds ns law in this city. We cannot, therefore, conclude that the School Board was guilty of any unlawful net In refusing to ndmit tho child of tho plaintiff to nny of the public schools in this city, who asked to bo admitted with out compliance with such ordinance of the city and in violation thereof, and stubbornly refuses to comply therewith without nny sufficient cnti-e on its part for so doing. Plaintiff's child is only ex cluded so long ns it refuses to comply with tho law of this city relating to vac cination and no longer. LOWENSTEIN OONVIOTED.
