What, arc the 1914 graduates ot Frreport High School going to do, now, <liat Uiey have completed their --'idles? A.-o they ready to taka their places in the activities of the wide av/ake world?
' -v many of them have a defi- nitc object In view for the attain¬ ment of which they have been shaping their course, as the mar- inter steers his ship?
How many of them are In step to th« march, accoutred for the contest which is Inevitable?
We venture to eay that the num¬ ber Is small.
It Is unfortunately true that with our boys the Instances are rare where they decide early In life what occupatlous tbey are to follow; few move toward a fixed goal, making each day s effort car¬ ry them a tittle nearer to It, and each diiy's accomplishment les¬ sen the gap along which they
must travel cn the chosen high-
a way.
We believe the most important function within the natural field of modern education Is to find out what a pupil intenda to do orto be when he grows to manhood, and gel him started on the way to at¬ tain the object when he is stili in cchonl.
Now, more than ever, education is productive of affirmative results when it becomes a practical train¬ ing . Nine boys out of ten nowa¬ days leave school at the end of years of study and face a stone wall.
In this connection \^ is interest¬ ing that tl •i Merchants' Associa¬ tion of New York with the co-oper¬ ation of the Board of Education an'l of cTTilr.: i.ore than
one hunrtieu boys uud cii^B is to establi&h a school In one of the largo vji'ice ^ulMin,,3 for of^',? bo>e, i ¦¦¦ '... ¦ u.

It is expected that if the school v*"!. • V.3 successful similar ones will b« established in other office buildings. Employers will be ask¬ ed tu permit the boys and girls to attend such school during cer¬ tain hours of the day without de¬ duction of pay.

It Is evident that something is radically wrong when graduates of our schoola have to take what may be called post-graduate cours¬ es to fit them for business. This ought to be a fixed part of the grammar and high school work.

DEATHS FROM
GREATER DEATHS FROM
Medical Falsehoods Denying Deaths from Vaccination and
LocKjaw Ans-wered and Crushed
There are Iwo great facts that have already been pWed In our previous articles tnat may be re-staled bere;-First: That general vacclaaUon is mdre dauytrous to public health and human life ihan natural smallpox, pa: ticularly in childrei^ Second: That these facts are admitted and disclosed
In English -"atistK". but are denied and conceaLnl iu uur own statistics.
Thete two unerring shots have gone lif-lit home lo the vital cenire of this great nio«lern Wedlcal barbarism of compulsory disease and death and have undoubudlj given all conipulsoo' var( ination In this State its death wpund from which it will never ultimately recover in this SUte or tbrougtout this Nation, wht.cMr this medi-jal evil ^lill . xl^^ts, as soon as these two great and shocking facts sink fully into the public mind.
It wai naniial, therefore, that the laedi* al doctors and the medical e.titors, who have been practising and defending this barbarism, and proflthi-r frora it dire Ily or indirectly ior'years la.si, should squirm in more or less a pony under Ihis death wound to their favorite and profitable barbarism o? ccmpuls.,ryv;u (ination foixed on the wliole people in on-j way or another a', every excuse or opportunity of alleged smallpox menace or panic; and sev¬ eral of Ihem e\idt'.itly thoufiht tiiai ihty could meet these solid lacts with false and foul personal epithets and false and absurd denials and evasions, rooNC of which 1 hii^e already answered aud disposed of.
And I not* that of late, tliciefoie, all these former elianiplons of this medical larbatif ni among our medical doctors and medical editors have be?n very tilt-nt except one receni woukl-be champion, who in an evening paper o: New York City of May 23 attempted to attack me and my facts as to deatha from vaccinaiion in Ihis Stale through lockjaw in vac<inaiion wounds and in .^o doln.n lias hiiiifcelf given us a very characteristic exhibition of the way ir. which vaccinaiinK doctors atteinM to deny and conceal the real truth on thi.s .^ut.iect trom the Hibllc. And I now regard this particular subject as so Im¬ portant ior piihlic ?:.lighteuiiieni ,ind the moment so opporiune ior the cruphins; of a mo.'-t darj^erous and dastardly medical falsehood that I now dlgresa in my intended choice of subjtn^ lor my closing or final arlities and confine iiiyseli here to lliis particular deaths from lockjaw or tetanus in vaccination wound.s winch is ore of the ii;o>i frequent causes of deaths from vra'cinatijn in tlii.s .Slate, and will illustrate fully the frequent fatality of vaccination and th.' cKiity, ahsiird and Khauu lul uiiir.i.er in which our vajcinaiors in charge, of uiir deuih certificeles and our vital statistics try to excuse, conceal and duiy Iliese deaili.s ano ihe full ic.^iion.sihiitty of vaccinati-jn tor tlie .same.
Now, I want to say lif'je at the outset that lliis «ieat dancer of deith,? from l.ocUjaw, or "Tetanus," in vaccination wounds is something almost peculiar to our country, and jmt i,cv!!l''uly to our pro'.ince of Lon.i; Island, wh«.re this dangerous wound infection seems to exist widely distributed In tho soil of the laud, in l.'ie nianuiv:oJ stables and farniyaids. iu hay and straw a'ld on the hair and hide of domestic animals, in Europe, and particularly in r.iu'liiiid, these clta'hs from, lotklaw are coiiijiaraiiveiy rare, and few, if aiiiy, deaths beeiu to bo reported from lockjaw in vaccination wounds, where.i-i in our Slate of New York, o\or one hundred df-aihs from lockjaw are reporud e\ery year, nnd tnere is good evidence to show that fully ten per cent cl Ithcse lockjiiw t'n'ailis result hum infection in vaccination wounds. For example, tliere were 114 deaths from lockjaw In New York State tti 1912, and 1 shave an ofiicial MMiori now bcfoic me of thiry of these cases of lockjaw in tii^e rui-al Imlf of New York State, outside of New Y'ork City, which shows thn' 'three of the^e iliiriy ca.-^es weif liom infections in vaccination wounds. This da'.a :;ivi'.<;t;rouii(l to thus e.stabli.»h the fatal ratio of ten per cent, as abov" -slated, whicii wouid j.'ive aboui 12 di atlis from vaccinaliou and lockjaw for J 912, or three times the deaths from smallpox, which wer« only four for that ¦year in this State! And plea^(! not Lliat four dealhs are actually ladniitted i.oni lockjaw in \accination wounds in our State reports for 1912, which Coni- liiisaiLHier i'orler and his would-be defenders try to show us were not really due to vaccination, after all, wliich fallacy I will here dispose of in du»
'time.

In the report of the lost dog, no statement appears as to the character of the diamond studded collar. It may have been a halrloom.

WEEKLY WEATHER FORECAST
For the week beginning Monday. June 29. 1914.
Over the extreme northwestern por¬ tion of th country, from the Dakota'-' westward, tho weather will probably be unsettled and show'ery until afie.^ the middle of the week, with some¬ what higher temperatures. Over the nil,ddle and southern districts west of the Rocky Mountains, the central Plains state, the Southwest, the Guk' States and the Ohio Valley generally fair-weather will prevail during ^he week, with continued high tempera¬ tures to tho southward and with ris¬ ing temperatures over tho cenlral dis¬ tricts by the middle of .the week, lu the Missouri and Upper Mississippi

Thus iu ihe Engli.sh repoit for 1911 tir.s. most i-igniru\itit comparative data is given as lo deaths from smallpox and vaccination for thai year:—
Toial deatli.^ irom .;iiiallpo.\ for all ages 21

Total 14
Here v e w-iil see from the lale-st publl.slicd annual rt^cord of the higlu-Kl stati.slical auiiiority in the world that for the year 1911, in England and Wak'f, in a i>opu]aiion of about thiriy-;;i.\ millions the total deaths from vaec ination were louileen, or more than half the total deaths from smallpox, Wliieli were iweiuy three! On the other hand, the dealhs fiuiii .smallpox in little cliildren were ouly six, and exactly equal to the deaths caused directly hy "vaccinia," or cowpox pure and wimple, in children ot the same age, whe'^eas the additional (ieallis from wound infections in the vaccination sores, viz., from septicemia and erysipelas, added eiglit more fatalitis, thus making tlie deatlu-j from vaccinaiion in little children over twice as many as the deaths from smallpox!
'i"o s:lic),\ that deallui irom vac(;iuatiou in thi.s year ol J911 in England, a- compared to i'c>ailis from .smallpox, are nothing unu.-ual, and that sin li dealhs oeitir uioie oi less constantly every year, and that th<; total yearly deaths from vaccination frequently exceed total yearly deaths from smallpox, pariituiaily in children, 1 can .give iliis further impressive data I'roiii the reports of ihe Regiiitrar General for several years prvious to 1911, as follows: -

This u.vlul lecord of fatal vaccinations thus speak><«'veiy clearly fur Useif and forms an absoluli indicliiient of the whole barbarous and murderou'^ oysicin of comriiii^ory vaccination, partic;ularly for littlc'eliildren, and needs no fuiilier commeni here.
Now I want to say just here that this particular defender of defenders wrote me about iMay «, just after are appearance of my hist article in this .'^^eries, Is.siitd IMay 4, for particulars as to tho pages in the report of our State Health Deprfrtiiienl for ]'9i2, where four deaths from lockjaw in v:ie- cination wounds were acknowledged and also where he could rnui copies of t'le annual report.s cl the Registrar General' of England. 1 answered hlci iiruiiiptly and cuurUou.sly^ giving him two pages lu our Stale report, viz., ptiges 52 and 74, eoiitairiiiig the facts as slated by me; and, as regards th-- Kngiish reports, 1 ttaied'Lhat it ho could not hnd ttifm in the medical or public libraries in New Yorlt he was welcome to come lo my office, where h'^ could lonsull these reports for leu years back, from 1911, the last year in pr.int. After thus plm iim the.se English records within his reach and enlirely accessible lo nlm, .'^bowing yearly deaths from vaccinaiion greater than y.-aily deaths from ^mallpu\, as recorded by one of the highest statistical aulhor¬ ilies in the v/orid, he never thcless tells the public thai "The ponderous records from across thc ocean are inaccessible to the w^riter for vcrflcstion.' He then goes on by bad logic and medical sophistries aud evasions lo try to show that the tacts I t;ave from our own Slate Reporl for 1912 wore not strict- ¦. ly convcL \yliere i stated that theie was a ciear but reluctant admission iu these reports that llie deaths resulting from vaccination by lockjaw in vacciii- ation wounds were equal to the deaths from smallpox in the same year, viz., four in each ca.so.
Thre is a Latin motto,,. "Fa Is us in uno lalsus in omnibus," that applies right hero to Di. Skern, viz., "False in one false in all," for this initial slalement from him with regard to the inacc;essibility of the English reports is just as true i iid logical as his statements with regard to our own Stain •reporis that they dc not sho\# what I staled they admit, that the deaths no'" vaccination for that year equal the deaths from smallpox. And any uiau of Iconimon .«:nso aud not professionally interested iu vaccinaiion and in defending and concea!i!ij, its falsehoods and Ils fatalities can see that my sialemenl |is perfectly i.ound I'ud true' by coiisulling this report for liiinself on pages i>'^ and,,74.
Indeed, llie whole text and substance of this defender's letter i.s in ks'-'ll' a complete and i>eilect illustration of the way in which the medical pro¬ fession, which practises and prolits by general vaccination, attempts to de:iy and conceal the dangerous and fatal effects so frequently occurring from vaccinaiion arid truly and surely clia; :i ;iiile to it; either as a direct or an indirect effect.
Brielly tlaud, thc-refore. Commissioner Porter's whole argument in 'he Stale report for r.ii2 is this;- That while, in Commlasioner Porter's owti words, "three or four of these tetanus deaths (114 in number) were reported a^ sequent to vaccination,' yet ihey were not really consequent to vaccination! Please not Conjmi.-tioner Porter's meagre or minimum term "sequent," which is so beggarly bald and naked of the real truth, by which he tries to fool himself and the public that tiiese deaths were nol also consequent to vaccinil'""' ^n*l does he and his defender try to show that these four terrible deaths from locl;jaw, ur tetanus, in the .supiiur.iiini-, vaccination sore were "geqi^ent' lo vacci-riticm but were nol consequent lo il? Simply by the medical and logical humbug;, as expressed in ('oiiimis.Mo.ic r Toner's own words her*-' Quoted, thai none uf these cases of lockjaw "were found to have developed less than three v.-ecks after the vaccination, and in all cases the Identical vaP«^'"« ^'"""s ^^^^ ^3* a^ ^''C •""« t't^^ "•««* o" other subjects. Not everything which follows vaccination is due to it, and it Is not probable that these were d'"* ^° '*•"
Now, I ^uy that such'evasion of the obvious iiutli and deception of t''*-' P"hlic mind, .is here shown in our State report and defended and indorse.l by this and other Ooclors, shows that men incoiapeloni by professional iuteio°'- *" vaccination to have any cliarge or control of our vital statistics Involv¬ ing deaths from vaccinaiion or,other medical operation.s .shuillil be entirely -jK-placed by a v.hohy different class of men, who sbould be put at the head of our health departments and in charge of our vital statistics, aud 1 will have s*^"'^''-^'*"S ^<^''y -Hrouj; and signittcant to say on that point in a future public aricle.
What a fhocking insult this is to men of ordinary honesty and intelll^*'"'^*^ ^a" ^*^ realized when we say that if the tetanus germ generally exist¬ ed in the virus ilbelf ai Uie lime of vaccination we would simply have thouca'^''* «"<^ *«"» ^^ thousands of dealhs from vaccination and lockjaw where nov/ we Inwe dozens taid hundreds!
I And 1 .'iiive here to ask these medical defenders if dozens or hundred*^ **' deallis from this cause every year, two or three times the annual deaths Itromlsmallpox, narUcularlyin little school childrea (which can easily be nro^^^^' ^'^^ not sufficient to call a halt on this barbarism of compulsory vaccina¬ tion Ai our public schools and institutions and the persistent and shocking d<:-n'"' ''"*' concealment of Its latal effec's in our vital statistics and yearly re¬ ports!
According to this logic of Commissioner I'orler and his supporters tho assassin of our groat President McKinley could not be charged with mur¬ der hecause, forsooth, the bullet from his miirdi-rou:s pistol did not directly k'i'i 'I'S victim, Iut death was really cansed by the fatal wound Infection of septicemia which developed in the bullet wound after the pistol shot: Wha. e.-i:->enlial dil,'erence does it make, therefore.

common source to jvhirh vaccinated persons are constantly exposed? A suppj-^ialing wound is the flrst essential condition for the devedopnient of this disease aud a vaccination \\ound is known to be,- one of the most common a.id perfect conditions for Its development, just as a bed o? manure in a dari< cellar is the ideal and peilect habitat and condition for the development of miushroom epawh. Il is obvious therefore, that all the tetanus germs in the world never kill any one while they remained merely in vaccine or other \irUi) and it is only when these germs get into a wound on the human body jlfrom virus or Irom dirt or soil or other source and there develojj their frlgirtfully rapid m-rve poison which soon kills ihe patient by terrible paralyzing spasms of the whole body that such germs become dangeroua or fatal lo the hu'"an being. And surely it must be obvious, whether the lockjaw enters ..le vaccination wotmd at first or afterwards, thai the vaccination wound is respoHhiblc for :.he final result in either case; and of course the result la Juat as fatal to thc victim in the < ud whether the infection, was direct and initial or indirect an subcequent.
It is therefore evident that the attempt to excuse tho operations of viatclnation fro.n ail responsibility because the infection was not In the virus «t the moment of vaccination is simply a dastardly evasion and fatsiflcaliou of m'edical truth and responsibility which should have the slrongert condemsattoa of every man of any common honesty and common senso.
