tlC} Thirty-Second Biennial Report Medical Advisory Boards and in interesting physicians in entering the medical service of the Army and Navy, and later in the year, in inducing* the physicians of the state to become members of the Volunteer Medical Service Corps. Partly as a result of these activities, the Surgeon-General of the Army assigned Major Joseph J. Kinyoun to assist the State Board of Health in the control of communicable diseases, the Board being under no financial obligation for Major Kinyoun's assistance; and as a result of the successful termination of the activities of various interests looking to more effective control of venereal diseases, the Kahn-Chamberlain bill passed Congress, and made available to the State of North Carolina, and without condition, $23,988.61 for venereal disease work. The Laboratory during this year began the distribution of a high grade of diphteria antitoxin. The Bureau of Medical Inspection of Schools, under the direction of Dr. G. M. Cooper, developed, and with a degree of success that we may say established, free dental clinics for the public schools of the state. The Bureau also developed to a successful extent an arrangement in the form of adenoid and tonsil clubs for the practical and economic treatment of public school children suffering from these defects. The Bureau of Epidemiology employed two third-year medical ' students, equipped them with motorcycles, and put them into the field to investigate infringements of the quarantine law\ Sufficient convictions were obtained to impress the people with the determination of the state to enforce its health laws, and a fairly satisfactory compliance with the laws regarding the reporting of communicable diseases was brought about. The Bureau of Venereal Diseases, paid for by the Federal appropriation, was established in September under the directorship of Dr. James A. Keiger. Mr. Warren H. Booker, for the last seven years the efficient director of the Bureau of Engineering and Education, left in September for Red Cross work in France, the work of his bureau being continued, with the exception of the engineering w^ork, by Mr. Ronald B. Wilson, who had been employed earlier in the year to succeed Miss Herring in assisting Mr. Booker with the journalistic work, Miss Herring having been engaged by the War Department for educational work. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the health work during the year 1918 was the epidemic of influenza. The epidemic began early in October and caused in October alone 6,056 deaths; in November 2,133 deaths, and in December 1,497 deaths, a total during the last three months of 9,686 deaths. The annual appropriation for the State Board of Health for 1918 was $73,210.38.
