72 NOKTH CAROLINA BOARD OP"' HEALTH Conjoint Session State IJoard of Health ^vith \orth Carolina Medical Society REPORT OP THE SECRETARY OP THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE BOARD OP HEALTH POR 1912-1913. W. S. Rankin, M.D., Secretary. Mr. President, Members of the State Board of Health, and Fellow Members of the North Carolina Medical Society: I have the honor to submit, in obedience to section 8, chapter 62, Laws of 1911, this, the annual report of the Secretary of the State Board of Health. I have asked Dr. C. A. Shore, Director of the State Laboratory of Hygiene, and Dr. John A. Perrell, Assistant Secretary for the Eradication of Hookworm Disease, to prepare and read that part of this report which related to the work of their respective departments. This they have kindly consented to do. I shall deal, therefore, more directly with the general concerns of the Board. legislation BY the general assembly of 1913. The General Assembly of 1913 made a very favorable record in health legislation. Probably the most important single piece of legislation enacted by the General Assembly of 1913 was an act requiring the registration of all births and deaths occurring in the State of North Carolina, beginning October first, next. With the single exception of the act establishing a State Board of Health, the registration law is the most important piece of health legislation ever enacted by the General Assembly of North Carolina. The need of such legislation, the absolute necessity for accurate records as to births and deaths for furnishing a true index to the progress of health work, and for supplying facts on which health policies must be intelligently based, has been so thoroughly discussed in Bulletin articles and newspaper articles in this State preliminary to the enactment of the vital statistics bill that it is unnecessary, especially in this society of professional men, to point out the advantages of a registration law for births and deaths. ' The particular law adopted is what is known among registration oflicials of the United States and the world as the ''Model Vital Statistics Law.^' The model law has been prepared by the United States Bureau of the Census and the various State bureaus of vital statistics of the United States. The model bill has existed for about twelve or fifteen years, and either the bill in its entirety or the bill with slight modifications has been adopted by all of the States that have adopted registration laws since the bill was prepared. The model law has been revised every year or so since it was first prepared. The revisions embrace the necessary changes or additions that the experience of registration officials, national and State, suggest to them as helpful or necessary. This model bill, with one or two amendments, was adopted as our registration law. Of the amendments only one was objectionable—an amendment allowing physicians and families in rural districts ten days within which to register deaths. If, however, this amendment should be found, in actual practice, to be of serious hindrance in the execution of the law, we anticipate little trouble in having it removed by some future General Assembly.
