MUST VACCINATE
Dr. Garrison Reminds Health Offi
i cers That Teachers and Students
E Must Observe Law.
The following is published at the
request of the local school board. Dr,
Garrison’s letter should be read by
everybody concerned, and no one must
|i., fail to abide by this quite necessary
law.
I:,; In a circular letter sent out yester
Hf ;•.• __
i day, Dr. C. W. Garrison, state health
officer, called the attention of all
county health officers, county super
intendents and examiners to the fact
that the compulsory vaccination law
goes into effect Sunday, Sept. 15th,
' after which time all teachers and
1 school students will be required by
I »tate law to be vaccinated. Dr. Gar
| rison also recommended that as a
;i matter of public safety anti-typhoid
;! serum be administered also. Serum
| for this purpose will be furnished by
the health department. Following
is Dr. Garrison’s letter, in part, quot
ing the state law on vaccination:
“No person shall be entered as a
teacher, employe or pupil in a public
or private school in this state with
J out having first presented to the
1 principal in charge, or the proper au
thorities, a certificate from a licensed
and competent physician of this state
certifying that the said teacher, em
ploye or pupil has been successflly
vaccinated; or in lieu of a certificate
certifying a recent vaccination done
in a proper manner by a competent
physician, or a certificate showing
immunity from having had smallpox.
The responsibility for the enforce
ment of this regulation shall rest
equally on each and every member of
the school board, the superintendent,
principal or teacher in charge, and
the parent or guardian of the pupil,
and each of them shall be separately
and individually liable for permitting
any violation of this regulation. If
in the discretion of the health officer
having jurisdiction, any person to
whom this regulation applies shall
have physical disability which may
contraindicate vaccination, a certifi
cate to that effect, issued by the said
health officer, stating the contra-in
dication, may be accepted in lieu of
a certificate of vaccination, provided
that the exemption shall not apply
when such disability shall have been
removed.”

written home while on board the
steamer carrying them to France, and
the following letter from Walter
Stallings to his mother, is one of them
and is written in his usual humorous
manner:
Aug. 14, 1918 (Wednesday)
On Board U. S. S. “Zeelandia.”
My Dear Mother:
It’s a good thing I got that little
5-day pass and came to see you all,
because I don’t guess I’ll get to see
you now for some time, as we are on
our way “over there.” Ought to
reach our port (wherever it is) in the
next four or five days. I’m glad I
chose the army as my service to the
government, because I can’t fancy
the sea for mine, but Tom Soxton and
I are the only two of the *band thaf
haven’t gotten sea sick. Ha! ha! the
rest just “heaved Jonah.” The old
Atlantic didn’t get rough until the
5th day out and then she raved, the
waves just came tearing over all of
us and we all ran for the hole. I’m
feeling fine and dandy. The thought
of a submarine don’t worry me a bit
and I sleep fine. Have been hungry
a lot though, we only get two meals
a day. Give my regards to all. Mama
I’m justOgoing over here on business
and when its over, I’ll be right back
to the states. Save “us” that front
room on the right up-stairs.
Your Pewee Boy.
P. S. We have two pays coming,
which I hope will be in American
money.
CARD OF THANKS.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to our
many friends who administered to us
in the sickness and death of my be
loved wife.
Very Respectfully,
r i TT*_
