62 XoRTH Carolixa Board of Health tion to rural health work. Mr. Lever is one of the most constructive and influential leaders in Congress, and has either initiated or taken a prominent part in all legislation that has to do with the common interests of our Government in rural conditions. Practically the entire Committee on Agriculture has endorsed the bill. The Committee on Rules has agreed to permit the bill to come up for special hearing. Judging from reports, there seems to be an overwhelming sentiment in Congress for this legislation. The prospects for the bill's becoming a law are exceedingly bright. If the bill passes, North Carolina will receive as her apportionment, $36,-399.33, conditioned upon the State's making an appropriation for rural health work of an equal amount, the combined Federal and State fund then being available for those counties that appropriate supplementary funds for rural health work. The plan of rural health work on w^hich the joint funds will be expended is to be approved by all three participating governments—county authorities, the State Board of Health, and the United States Public Health Service. This will sei'i'e to guarantee the efficiency of the w^ork. possibilities ix rural health work What can be done in rural health work may now^ be stated in terms of fact, not as prophecy or opinion. Nine counties in North Carolina, working in cooperation with the State Board of Health and the International Health Board, following a standard plan of w^ork on a budget of $6,000 each, have been at work now for an average of fourteen months each. The health officers in charge of the work in these nine counties with only one or two exceptions were men who had never had any special training or experience in public administration or in public health. The following table shows the amount of work accomplished by the average county for the average month in the initial stages of county health work: 1. 8 Public lectures with an attendance of 729 people. 2. 7 Newspaper health articles published in the county papers. 3. 61 Rural homes constructed sanitary privies. 4. 171 People examined for hookworm disease and 333 of these treated. 5. 4 Schools visited by the health officer. 6. 325 School children examined by the teachers working under the di- rection of the health officer. 7. 106 School children personally examined by the health officer. 8. 51 Of the children found defective by the health officer were treated. 9. 32 Adults given physical examinations by the health officer. 10. 310 People vaccinated against typhoid fever. 11. 54 People vaccinated against smallpox. 12. County quarantine w^ork performed satisfactorily and included the quarantining, according to the State law, of 43 cases of infectious diseases. 13. Medical attention was given the county dependents who were inmates of the county home, the jail, and the chain-gangs. If H. R. 14185 becomes a laAv and the State of Noi1:.h Carolina shall meet the Federal apportionment and make it available for rural health work, the State Board of Health proposes the employment jointly by the Federal, State
