tVi no chi( anal, be pernltted to ut-
, , without mesentinir sat-

successfully vaccinuted within seven j
years." i
I The above ruling applies only to
those communities where tho epi-
identic actually exists. Even in such!
cases, the superintendent states, it 13
not desirable to resort to vaccina -
tinn of ull school children when only
one or two segregated cases of small -
pox are to be found. Vaccination
should bo required only where indi-
cations would lead our county health
officer to believe an ipldejnlc is lia-
ble to occur.
When the question of whether vac-
dilation should be required, or
whether a school should be closed
for fear of an epidemic Is raised, the'
advice of the county health officer ;
should be obtained. Superintendent ,
Ager states lie Ib informed that there
