J^*T - '" ,v x > " SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PER YBAB 1 NUMBER 17 to the north-eastern and piedmont aeotion of the State was a successful one, and the children's entertainment received most flattering compliments at every point visited. In fact we are informed that the invitations which come in, begging for a' visit of thfc?children, are so numerous as to make it, at times, not a little embarrassing to the management to know how to accept all of them. This is so much the case that after every effort is made by the management to show their appreciation of these invitations, some places have to be left ont. This is a noble cause and worthy of the help of all good - people, bnt we feel surejtbat all who attend these " ' ' concerts will get value reoeived for all they pay to hear them. ' "* Fundamental Principles In the Management of Smallpox. First: The chief aim of publio health agencies in the prevention of disease. Second: The method of publio health agencies is to remove the cause, and thereby prevent the occurence of disease, to anticipate the expensive pound of cure with an economical ounce of prevention. Third: The prevention of smallpox?the only prevention that the public health services recognize?is a vaccinated population. Fourth: The ideal method of securing a vaccinated population is by a compulsory vaccination law, and,.- v the more extensive the scope of such a law the better. Fifth: In the absence of the ideal protection, through compulsory vaccination, we must regard anything tending to maintain or augment an unvaccinated population as a contributed factor to increased liability to smallpox outbreaks, with the expense and worries incident to such outbreaks. Sixth: The quarantine of small pox protects only the unvaccinated population. Seventh: In proportion to the confidence of the unvaccinated in the willingness and ability of the public to proteot them, in proportion to^their feeling of safety will 1 they remain unvaccinated and contribute their children to augment the smallpox liabilities. Kighth: Quarantine of smallpox, therefore, enoourages and harbors an nnvaccinated population, and, is, therefore antagonistic to the public health interest of society.' Ninth: Those who do not accept ' the foregoing principles in the management of smallpox, or prefer to base their actions on unreasonable and hysterical public sentiment, have a right, under Sections 9 and 14, Chanter 62. Public. T.??? inii - IU pass laws quarantining smallpox, thereby maintaining and increasing their liability to the disease. Tenth: There is bat one right way for towns, counties, and states to handle smallpox, and, that is by rigidly enforced vaccination law. I By order of the Boatd of Health of Franklin county. | Ben. T. Holden, Sec'y. A practical committeeman, in ' . presenting diplomas last June, to a graduating class spoke as follows: "Girls, in presenting you these diplomas, if, by their signifioanoe you are led to allow your mother to do all the work, bake all the bread, sweep all the floors because you can read Latin or demonstrate a theorem in geometry, then has yonr school been a most unfortunate course, and in all the teachings you have ever received at my hands, I uugt there has been no lesson that has weaned yon trom the dish pan. Boys, it' from this graduation you go ont into the world too tiioe to carry wood and swill the hog*, if need be, then has our school failed in its purpose and s?wn the wrong aeed." * r ' r o I' ; ,-v:'
