WHEff VACCINATION
FAILS TO TAKE
Health Commissioner Dixon Ex
plains Provision That Is Made la
Such Cases So That Children May
Not Be Debarred From School.
WHEN CLAIM 13 MADE
THAT "CHILD 13 UNFIT"
In Exceptional Cases, Where Careful
Investigation By Local or State
Health Authorities Justifies Admis
sion to School, It Is Authorized.
"After three carefully performed but
unsuccessful attempts to vaccinate a
child have failed, that child should not
be debarred from school privileges, but
should be admitted, and the Depart
ment of Health has provided for this,"
aid State Health Commissioner Sam
uel Q. Dixon In an Interview.
"The Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia." continued Dr. Dixon, "called at
tention In the recent opinion it handed
down reaffirming the validity of the so
called vaccination law of June 18, 1895,
to the hardship involved In the twelfth
section of that act when it Is beyond
the power of children of school age to
be vaccinated, although they may not
previously have had smallpox nor pre
viously been vaccinated, and even re
peated attempts to perform the oper
ation upon such children are without
effect and vaccination will not take.
In such cases, as the court pointed
out, the physician cannot certify that
such child has been successfully vac
cinated so as to meet the requirement
of admission to school. The court's de
cision tuggested the possibility of the
nealtb authorities, state or local, mak
ing a Regulation setting forth the con
dition! under which a child upon whom
vaccination will not take, may be per
mitted to go to school. The court also
suggests that the health authorities
would have to consider whether such
a regulation would be undesirable as
affording opportunity for the evasion
of the statute.
"The Department ol Health," con
tinued Health Commissioner Dixon,
"has taken this tendency to evade the
law into consideration, as it was
obliged to, and yet we have endeav
ored to see that those children who
could not be vaccinated should be ad
mitted to school. Our method of ac
complishing this from the first has
been as follows:
"When the cases that we received
inquiry about were within the limits
of a borough or city having a Board of
Health of Its own, we suggested that
after two unsuccessful attempts to vac
cinate a child, the third attempt be
made by or in the presence of the
physician of the Board of Health. It
this attempt failed, then the physician
of the board, acting in his official ca
pacity, should authorize the admission
of the child.
"In the rural districts, where there
are no Boards of Health to pass upon
such cases, I have always asked that
after three unsuccessful attempts to
vaccinate a child have been made, the
name of the child and the physician
who made the attempts be referred Im
mediately to the State Department of
Health. The cases have then been at
once investigated by our County Medi
cal Inspectors or some one deputized
by them, so that the child might not
unjustly be debarred from school privi
leges. These methods of dealing with
the situation have been In conformity
with the Supreme Court's suggestion
that the health authorities assume the
responsibility of authorizing the ad
mission to school of children upon
whom, after a reasonable number of
attempts, vaccination does not take.
"Taking advantage of the spirit of
this part of the Supreme Court's opin
ion, we have also endeavored to deal
with the caBes of children where there
was reason to believe that the child's
physical condition did not make vac
cination at the present time advisable.
The Attorney General of the State had
given an opinion that a teacher was
not authorized to accept a certificate
from a physician stating that the child
was not in a physical condition to be
vaccinated. It is reasonable to be
lieve, however, that although the sim
ple giving of such a certificate by the
family physician would not be suffi
cient, the spirit of the Supreme Court's
opinion would permit the recognized
health authorities throughout the
state, after careful Investigation, to
pass upon such cases.
"Therefore when Buch cases are now
brought to the attention of our depart
ment, we have suggested that Inside
borough or city limits, the local Board
of Health, through Its physician, de
cide whether the child is well enongh
to attend school and yet not In a fit
condition to be vaccinated. In the dis
tricts where there are no Boards of
Health we are having such cases in
vestigated and passed upon by our
regular County Medical Inspectors.
"ft will thuB be seen," concluded Dr.
Dixon, "that the State Department of
Health is doing everything possible to
prevent any child from being unjustly
deprived of its schooling. If the par
ent or guardian, however, refuses to
permit a ciiii:; it; vaccinated simply
urougn prejudice, tno neattn autnori
ties certainly have no power to Inter
fere with the operation of the law. In
such cases we have done everything
we could to overcome this prejudice
by education, so that the Innocent
child might not be made to suffer be
cause the parent desired to leave it
exposed to the ravages of smallpox
rather than undergo vaccination, which
the Legislature of Pennsylvania, In the
exercise of its police power, has made
one of the requisite
school,"

rilny'n Jewel Stories.
Pliny declares thnt a diamond was
so hard thnt If placed on an anvil and
struck with n sledge hammer It would
give back a blow of such force as to
shiver both unvll and hammer to
pieces. Another of his wonderful tales
states that "on the shore of the Island
of Cyprus there was a stone lion hav
ing eyes formed of emeralds, which
shone so brightly thnt all the fishes
were Inglorlously frightened away. The
fishermen accordingly pulled the emer
alds out and put In glass eyes Instead,
whereupon the wise fishes became
bolder and returned to their accustom
ed nets."
A Mean Insinuation.
"Very gratifying!" said a young and
conceited novelist. "A gentleman
writes me thnt he took a copy of my
lust work to rend during a railway
Journey, and as a result suddenly dis
covered he had gone twenty miles be
yond his destination."
"Dear me," commented the young
luthor's friend; "sleeping in traius Is a
bad habit!"

"Oh, remarked the first fox hunter,
"you should have seen Mr. Nurltch
take that high hedge!"
"Yon surprise me," exclaimed the
other. "I thought the horse be rode
wasn't much of a Jumper."
"Oh, the horse didn't take the hedge I
Mr. Nurltch did It alone."-Philadel-phla
Press.
The Facts.

hasn't any faults? The Other Not a
single fault. The One But he ap
pears to be blind in his right eye. The
Other-Well, that's not his fault; It's
his misfortune. Chicago News.
HI Mterarr Uent.
"Father, when I leave school I am
going to follow my literary bent and
write for money."
"Humph! My son, you ought to be
successful. That's all you've done
since you've been at school."
The Gerntnn I and Yon.
It is surprising when any oue takes
the trouble to notice how many letters
begin with the pronoun "I." To Ger
mans this in egotistical, and their eti
quette In letter writing forbids It. It
is probably on the, - tine principle tbnt
they write I (Ich) always with a small
letter and you (Sie) with a capital, i
verslng the English custom.
" Character.
The first thing thnt u human being
should recognize about himself Is that
his character Is bis distinguishing fea
ture. It Is not the amount of money,
the amount of power, the uriount of
brains, that a man has, but his char
acter. Strelln.

Running For Exercise.
A professional runner gives the fol
lowing suggestions for exercise: Rise
at 6:30 a. m. Put ou old clothing, easy
shoes and a sweater. Time for dress
ing, five minutes. Walk one-fourth of
a mile; time, five minutes. Then run
a mile at a dog trot iu eight minutes,
arranging your circuit of n mile and;
a quarter so thnt you will finish at:
your door thirteen minutes after sturt-j
lng. That exercise will expand your;
lungs and stimulate your heart action;
and laud you at your doorstep at (1:49:
a. in. panting for breath, thoroughly!
exhausted and perspiring ht every pore.
You are then ready for your bath and
shave nnd breakfast and for the nat
ural routine of the day. The man of
sedentary habits who patiently pur
sues this exercise may kiss all drugs
goodby.
How He Learned Engrllsh.
Carl Scburz once told a friend some
thing of his early struggles with the
English language. He knew it about
as American college boys know their
German that Is to say, barely at all.
One day. "deciding such nonsense must
end," he entered a bookstore and asked
for the classic of the English language.
A wise clerk gave him "The Vicar of
Wakefield." He carefully translated It
Into German and put bis work away
for six weeks. At the eud of that time
he translated his translation back Into
English and then made a searching
comparison between his version and
that of Goldsmith's original. "After
that," he said, "I knew English."
Six Flnvcred Monkeys.
In several places In Cape Colony and
the Orange Free State of South Africa
caves have been discovered which
yielded hundreds of mummified re
malns of a queer species of six fingered
monkeys. All of the full grown spec
imens of tills remarkable race have;
the tall situated high up on the back
from three to five Inches further up
than on the modern monkey and other
distinguishing marks, such as two sets
of canine teeth, beards on the males,
etc.
