Syllabus

<p>School law — Vaccination of pupils — Discretion of directors.</p> <p>School directors may in the exercise of a sound discretion exclude from the public schools pupils who have not been vaccinated.</p> <p>Whether a resolution excluding from the schools pupils who have not been vaccinated, is a reasonable one, is to be judged of in the first instance by the school directors. In the present state of medical knowledge and of concurring opinion of those having charge of the public health, the courts will* not say that such a resolution is an abuse of official discretion.</p>
