Twenty-second Biennial Report . 21 they were respectively appointed to succeed themselves. The terms of Dr. Charles O'H. Laughinghouse of Greenville, and Dr. Thomas E. Anderson of Statesville, elected by the State Medical Society, expired, and they were respectively reelected. Mr. Charles E, Waddell of Asheville, appointed by the Governor in 1921, resigned and as his successor the Governor appointed Mr. James P. Stowe of Charlotte. Dr. F. R. Harris resigned to become health officer of Vance County, and to fill the unexpired term the Board elected Dr. D. A. Stanton of High Point. Dr. J. Howell Way was reelected president of the Board. The General Assembly of 1923 made provision for the constantly growing work of the Board, approving the budget as submitted and appropriating for the Board the sum of $425,000. Legislation enacted included an act to provide for the sanitary manufacture of bedding, to create an independent board of directors for the State Sanatorium, and to provide sanatorium facilities for tuberculosis convicts. The important new development during the year was the beginning of malaria control work in certain counties of the coastal plain area of the State. Through the courtesy of the International Health Board a member of its field staff, Dr. H. A. Taylor, was loaned to the Board for the purpose of making preliminary surveys, and areas in Lenoir and Pamlico Counties were selected for investigation. The results showed Pamlico County to be suitable for the initial demonstration, and a unit for the investigation and control of malaria was organized with Dr. Taylor as the director, the budget being contributed forty per cent by the county, forty per cent by the State, and twenty per cent by the International Health Board. The progress of the work, and the results achieved, proved so satisfactory that in January, 1923, an additional unit was organized in Beaufort County, and in May, Craven and Bladen Counties were added to the list. Detailed resumes of this work is given elsewhere in this report, but it should be stated here that the success of the intensive malaria control measures has been even greater than was anticipated. While specializing on malaria control measures, the county units have at the same time carried on a general program of public health work. The International Health Board has continued its cooperative aid in giving twenty per cent of the unit budget, and has continued the loan of Dr. Taylor, who has directed the work. In June the resignation of Dr. J. S. Mitchener as director of the Bureau of Medical Inspection of Schools was accepted, and Dr. Roy C. Mitchell, who had been engaged in special educational field work, was appointed to the vacancy. 1923-24. The Committee on Municipal Health Department Practice of the American Public Health Association requested the Secretary of the Board to become field director for the Committee in making a study of municipal health practices in the United States for the purpose of working out with and for the Committee a basis or set of principles on and through which city health departments could be given classification or grading, and further for giving
