34 • jNTorth Carolina Board of Health health. The tremendous demands, the multiple requests of various agencies, interested in some special propaganda, on the press, generous and sympathetic as the press unquestionably is, have overreached the capacity of the press to supply space for this sort of material or to furnish personnel to examine and discriminate between propaganda articles worthy and unworthy of newspaper attention, so that it is becoming more and more difficult to use the newspapers for popular health education. It is only just to state, however, in this connection, that our State press has been extremely partial to material sent out by the State Board of Health, and has so assisted in the health movement in North Carolina as to place this Board and the people generally under lasting obligations. The use of popular pamphlets on special subjects, like the pamphlets on typhoid fever, diphtheria, malaria, tuberculosis, sanitary privies, etc., which are supplied only on special request, affords perhaps the most economical means of popular public health education, for the reason that only those with some special interest receive the pamphlets and most of them are used. These pamphlets, however, would not be used, would remain in the office unasked for, w^ere it not for other means, particularly the press and the Bulletin, for reaching the general population and informing them of the existence of these special pamphlets and their value. The State Board of Health Bulletin, founded shortly after the Board started, the Bulletin making its first appearance in 1886, has been steadily growing with the development of a more extensive popular interest in the health problem until, from an edition of a few hundred monthly Health Bulletins, it has now become one of the best known periodic publications existing in North Carolina, reaching 48,000 homes every month, and coming in contact with at least one-tenth of the population of the State. The Bulletin is by all odds the most important educational means which the State Board of Health has. It not only develops but it serves to maintain the public interest in the undertakings of the State for the conservation of human life and health. 8. Methods of Aecouyiting.—The bookkeeping of the executive office is entrusted to a thoroughly reliable, careful, and bonded clerk, whose system of accounting has been devised by an expert accountant and whose work is audited at regular intervals. Routine Work The routine work of the executive office is shown in the following tabulation: Letters received ................................................. 18,197 Magazines and Bulletins received and reviewed.................... 12,777 Letters written—Individual ...................................... 9,365 —Multigraph ..................................... 18,274 Total .................................................... 27,369 Articles written—Newspaper (107) .........................words 39,400 —Bulletin (41) .............................words 53,150 —Official Publication (6).....................words 89,000 —Special (8) ...............................words 29,051 Forms and Placards Prepared (16)...........................words 4,900 Telegrams Sent ................................................. 707 Telegrams Received ............................................. 564 Jail Reports Received and Examined (1919)..............................................85 Jail Score Cards Copied and Mailed (1919)................................45 Convict Camp Reports Received and Examined (1919)..........................98 Convict Camp Score Cards Copied and Mailed (1919)............... 23
