14 JSToRTir Carolina Board of Health able extent, for successful effort on part of Hon. John M. Faison's securing Congressional appropriation of $45,000 for the study of pellagra by the Federal Government. Hookworm work extended and county funds appropriated to supplement State and Rockefeller Foundation for this work. Annual appropriation, $22,500. 1913. General Assembly passed Model Vital Statistics Law with $10,000 ap- propriation for its enforcement. County superintendents of health changed to either county physician or county health officer. Educational efforts of Board continued and enlarged. Hookworm work along same line as year before increased in amount. Dr. John A. Ferrell resigned as Assistant Secretary to accept position with the central office of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission in Washington, D. C. Dr. C. L. Pridgen succeeded Dr. Ferrell. The movement for improved county health work had by this time resulted in ten counties electing whole-time county health officers. The State Sanatorium for Treatment of Tuberculosis turned over by Extra Session of 1913 to the management of State Board of Health. Annual appropriation, $40,500. 1914. Preceding work of the Board continued. Board of Health took over management of Sanatorium; started out under many difficulties on account of the institution owing many debts and the appropriation being limited. Hookworm work changed to community work directed to the installation of sanitary privies in all homes. Laboratory began to produce and distribute free antityphoid vaccine. Dr. C. L. Pridgen resigned as Director Hookworm Eradication, and Dr. W. P. Jacocks succeeded him. Annual appropriation, $40,500. 1915. General Assembly makes State vital statistics law conform to National model by requiring burial permits in rural communities; enacts legislation permitting county commissioners and towns and cities to appropriate money for support of tuberculous citizens in State Sanatorium; provides $15,000 for purchase and building of antitoxin plant; appropriates $60,000 for payment of Sanatorium debts and new buildings and other improvements, and $25,000 annually for maintenance and $10,000 for extension antituberculosis work. Educational work greatly extended: Bulletin now 47,000; traveling public health exhibit shown at fairs and other assemblages; press work greatly developed through employment of journalist for whole time; stock lectures with lantern slides supplied public speakers in different parts of the State. Community soil pollution work under Dr. W. P. Jacocks stops in May, and Bureau of County Health Work with Dr. G. M. Cooper at its head, succeeds, beginning work in June. Considerable amount of work done for improvement of prison conditions. The unit system of county health work gets a good start: over 52,000 people given three complete vaccinations against typhoid fever, and medical inspection of schools put on in one county. Annual appropriation, $50,500.
