The Inquirer

Some one has written to this journal asking it to advocate a quarantine by Atlantic City against children coming from New York.

We refuse to enter into any such brutal scheme.

The quarantining against New York by all sorts of communities, because a few hundred children of that city have been attacked by what the doctors call infantile paralysis, is the product of ignorance, foolishness, and contemptible fear. There is no sense in it. There is no reason in it. There is nothing in it but abject cowardice.
