Vaccination ReportHr, E. Blanche Sterling, of the

Public Health Service of the UnitedStates (lovernment. in her bi-weeklyreport to the School Board, statesthat she has examined 200 children inCecil county and that 07 of themwere without successful vaccination.The 07 were distributed in the fol-lowing schools:

Monroe li: Hickory Grove. 2; But-ler, 2; Washington, 8: Elk Mills c.;Johnson I; Leeds, 15; Cherry Hill,22; Center. 8.

As all students are reovi I red to pre-sent a certificate of successful vacci-nation before being admitted to schoolit is thought that physicians musthave issued, in many eases, 'he certifi-cate the day the children were vacci-nated. without waiting foi about aweek to see if a true vaccine existed,as required by law.
