A'mc Cases of Smallpox in Glendale School Many Parents Oppose Orders of Health. Department Means Quarantine Which Bar to Examinations tTiOCAt, CORABKPONPEVCtEl GLENDALE. June 12. Nine cases of smallpox, all of them de scribed as mild, that have beerii discovered among: the students at the Glendale High School on East Broadway, have led to the adoption of measures by the school authorities and the City Health Department to stamp out the disease before it assumes any more serious proportions. The majority of the pupils have been vaccinated either by the city health officers or by their personal physicians, but in a large number of cases the students, acting on Instructions of their parents, have refused to submit to vaccination, and their refusal has led io a situation that has stirred Glendale students and parents to -a pitch of excitement much greater than that caused by the smallpox Itself.

Df. G. KaemmefUng, city health officer, has taken the stand that all students, who -refuse to be vaccinated must be quarantined In their homes for a period of four teen days and has Issued orders to that effect. Those who elect to be quarantined will be confined to their homes until after the close of the school year, and the result will he that they will be unable to enter the examinations rtext week and that will make It Impossible for them to obtain the credits that they would have earned if they had been- able to finish their work by remaining In school until the end of the term. Prof.

Moyse, principal of high sejhool, is endeavoring to work out a plan by which it will be possible to examine each student, who may be quarantined biit, owing to the variety of the subjects in which the students will have to be examined It has been found impossible, so far, to work out any blanket method for holding these examinations and many cases will have to be considered individually before the examination plans can be completed. The insistence of the school and health authorities on the vaccination nf the pupils is due to the fact that at least, two of the students, who have contracted smallpox were Associating with the other students in the classrooms and on the campus for from one to four days before the malady was definitely determined. Failure- to secure the credits to which the students are entitled, it is declared, would tend to throw them back in their studies and In the completion of their high-school courses fo. six months and in some cases might prevent their entrance into the university this fall.
