Twenty-first Biennial Reiport 11 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 anti-tuberculosis 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. 1916. North Carolina was admitted to the Registration Area for deaths. To the educational agencies of the Board was added a self-supporting moving picture health show. Many saw this show during the year, and, seeing, believed in health work as never before. Bulletin had to be discontinued temporarily for lack of printing funds, but before discontinuance reached 51,000 edition. Cooperation with University in developing a plan and putting on a home post-graduate course in medicine, giving first course to 169 doctors. Put into operation an optional system of hotel inspection, with grading and publishing scores. Continued unit system of county health work, giving three anti-typhoid injections to 48,000, making 100,000 immunized in summers of 1915 and 1916. Did complete medical inspection of five counties and with inspection a large amount of educational work as to sanitary and hygienic living. Secured effort by Federal Children's Bureau to develop unit of child hygiene work, the Bureau using two employees to work in Cumberland and Swain counties for about eight months. Laboratory of Hygiene buys land and erects its own building. Sanatorium making a decided impression on the State. Annual appropriation, $55,500.
