Hon. John H. Haueh;; Secretary pt State Board of Health, was before th<j Association and explained the intent Of the resolution In regard to vaccina­ tion. It Is the intention to prevent the spread o( small pox, and especially III the schools of the State. He stated that there weie32 places In the State Where small pox could be taken at present. According to his views, teachers were responsible only for a •tntement of facts in regard to the pu­ pils under their charge. School boards are to be held responsible for the en­ forcement of this order. Local Boards #f Health are antholzed to use towu funds for the vaccination of Indigent persons. Should there be a disposition »o evade or neglect this requirement t>y school ooards they will be prevent­ ed from drawing public money.
