The Health Btjlletix 23 assistance to couduct his most effective work. These things served to handicap and prevent the full development of the county health progi'am. In counties which did not provide whole-time health officers the people demanded other units than the hookworm and soil pollution work, and in response to this demand the State Board of Health organized and supplied to the counties a number of optional units of health work. These included chiefly typhoid vaccination campaigns, medical inspection of schools, life extension, quarantine units, and units against special diseases, such as malaria and pellagra. Any county, by supplying the funds, could arrange with the State Board of Health to have a director sent to the county for several months to conduct the desired unit of work. From September 1916 to June 1917 the State Board of Health and the International Health Board cooperated with Wilson County in a county-wide Soil Pollution Campaign, directed by Dr. B. E. Washburn of the International Health Board. This campaign was followed by the organization of the Wilson County Health Department, the first of ten cooperative county health departments to be started. From January 1917 to March 1919 the State Board of Health and the United States Public Health Service cooperated with Edgecombe County in a unit of county work directed by Dr. K. E. Miller of the Public Health Service. On April 1, 1919, a cooperative county department was organized in Edgecombe to work under the direction of the Bureau of County Health Work. By means of the work of the county health officers, the optional units conducted by the State Board of Health, and the activity of the Bureau of Education and Engineering of the State Board, the State had become educated to the point of having the General Assembly of 1917 enact laws requiring two prescribed units of health work for all the counties of the State. These were the quarantine unit and a school unit. The General Assembly of 1919 revised the law requiring the medical inspection of school children and made it more effective, providing $50,000 for the treatment of defective children. The enforcement of the school inspection law is placed under the direction of a Bureau of Medical Inspection of Schools of which Dr. G. M. Cooper is director. The personnel of this Bureau consists of from six to nine full-time dentists and six trained nurses. With this staff dental and throat clinics are being held in all parts of the State by a plan which will reach all the counties once every three years. The General Assembly of 1919 also enacted a State-wide sanitary law requiring the installation of a sanitary privy at every home within fly-range (300 yards) of another home; together with means of inspection and provisions for enforcing maintenance.
