iBOARDSUSTAINED
Test Cases on Vaccination
Decided at Williamsport.
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.
