xineteenth blennial Report 17 ests in Jamaica. Dr. K. E. Miller, of the United States Public Health Service, who had been detailed in January, 1917, to organize a model county health department in Edgecombe County and^then, in 1919, to assist his brother, Mr. H. E. Miller, in organizing the work of the new Bureau of Engineering and Inspection, to which was assigned the duty of enforcing the State-wide privy act, succeeded Dr. Washburn as Director of the Bureau of County Health Work. In January a co-operative effort with the United States Public Health Service and the International Health Board to demonstrate the possibilities and advantages of the eradication of malaria from certain towns and cities in the eastern part of the State was begun. The terms of co-operation were that the International Health Board and the State Board of Health were to pay one-half of the expenses of the local work and the town or city in which the work was done the other half, the Public Health Service furnishing, as its part, expert supervising personnel. The towns and cities chosen for this work were Golds-boro, Farmville, and Greenville, the budgets for each municipality being, respectively: Goldsboro, $13,670.98; Farmville, $5,000; and Greenville, $9,000, a total investment in this work of $27,670.98. Mr. A. W. Fuchs, Associate Sanitary Engineer, was detailed by the Service to have supervision of the work. In February Dr. A. J. Warren, Assistant Secretary of the State Board of Health, resigned his position in order to accept the appointment of city health officer of Charlotte, North Carolina. In the winter and spring of 1920, the North Carolina Landowners Association, under the progressive leadership of Mr. W. A. McGirt, of Wilmington, undertook a very extensive educational^ campaign against malaria, which was carried on through the public schools of thirty-eight counties in Eastern North Carolina. A series of county and State prizes for the best essay on malaria byi public school children were offered as an inducement to the school children to interest and inform themselves, and, indirectly, their parents, with regard to the importance of this disease. To make possible this work by the school children 75,000 malaria catechisms, prepared by Dr. H. R. Carter, of the United States Public Health Service, were distributed through the public schools of the eastern part of the State to the school children. Thousands of essays were written, and it is reasonable to believe that the campaign was one of the most successful public health educational attempts yet undertaken. In June it was found advisable to separate the Bureau of Epidemiology and the Bureau of Vital Statistics which had, on account of the scarcity of health officers, been placed under the directorship of a single bureau chief. Dr. F. M. Register. Dr. Register was appointed Director of the Bureau of Vital Statistics and Dr. J. S. Mitchener was appointed Director of the Bureau of Epidemiology. In April the Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board assigned to the State Board of Health several workers for making a study
