Twenty-third Biennial Report - 253 between themselves and the Board and by the proclamation of this Society have gone on record in defining the Board's field of endeavor and directing it to engage in any practice or policy provided for in the legislative acts of the State, which has to do with the prevention or treatment of disease and which may include: (1) Legislation which provides for the education of the general public in matters of personal hygiene, giving the people a higher appreciation of the value and use of medical science through printed matter, addresses, moving pictures, visiting nurses and other means of approved educational value. (2) Legislation which provides public laboratories for assisting the profession in the diagnosis of specimens of pathological material and for providing the profession with various biological products of preventive and curative value. (3) Legislation which provides for immunization by vaccines and sera of the general public against smallpox, typhoid and other infectious diseases, for which approved vaccines and sera are available. (4) Legislation which provides for the reporting of births, deaths and communicable diseases and prescribes measures for the restriction of the spread of contagion. (5) Legislation which provides.for the physical examination of school children and the detection of those which are retarded, and which retard their classmates, by defects, so frequent among the school population, as to have appropriately acquired the term, "Common defects of school children"; to the practical end that the finding of such defects will stimulate an interest in both local profession and public that will result in their correction. (6) Legislation which provides dispensaries for the examination and treatment of diseases such prevalence and far-reaching effect on the public health as to constitute large and unnecessary handicaps to social progress. For example, dispensaries for venereal disease and dispensaries for the treatment of trachoma and hookworm disease. This is the highway upon which the Board of Health is traveling. It will not depart from it and because it will not, it cannot find itself in any private drives or boulevards that happen to lead into forbidden places and personal preserves. 'Train a child up in the way he should go, and when he gets old, he will not depart from it", is evidenced by the fact that the head and heart of the medical profession of North Carolina, has been so sincerely and unselfishly interested in the development of the Board, that peace, confidence, and concord reign among us; and we come before you today with complete faith in your continued support, and with the full determination of making the next fifty years of even greater accomplishment than the past half century has been. This is a startling prediction, but it is founded on the record wherein it is told that in 1888 we had 3,966 2/3 deaths from diphtheria in every hundred thousand of our population. Today we have but twelve. In 1888 we had 4,450 deaths per hundred thousand from typhoid fever,—today we have 6.3. Keep faith with us and give us generously of yourselves, and before 1980 we will reduce the death rate from whooping cough
