REPORT OF THK DEPARTMENT FOR THE INVESTIGATION AM) CONTROL OF MALARIA The deiuirtment created for the investigation and control of malaria has been instrumental during the period in organizing seven local county health departments, whose duty it is to carry on control measures wherever the disease is prevalent enough to justify the effort and expenditure of money. While the primary object of the department, created by joint funds of the State Board of Health and International Health Board, is the organization of county health departments, the mapping out the malaria problem within the malaria zone, and the instruction of employees of local health departments in measures for the control of the disease, there is a secondary object uf l»erhaps even greater importance and which has guided the department in formulating its policies; this is the stimulation of a permanent interest and activity in public health work in general, and the local demonstration of methods whereby disease prevention can be carried on economically and on a large scale by a free and generous supiX)rt of full-time local health departments. The policies pertaining to the organization and conduct of the departments undertaking malaria control are determined by the State Board of Health. The details pertaining to county organization has been delegated to a stall' member of the International Health Board, who is executive head of the departments and who directs the liehl activities of the newly created county organizations in the control of the disease. "Hie subordinate county staffs are organized into four units, a county health organization, consisting of a full-time medical director (county health ofiicer), two held nurses, one microscopist, and clerical assistant. P^ach department, with the health officer acting as executive head, assumes full responsibility for intensive control measures in their resi>ective counties,. and while there are certain mandatory activities to be cared for by each health department, effort is made to direct seventy-five per cent of the effort of each de-l)artment toward the control of malarial fevers. The management of all seven of the departments known as "counties doing malaria work,'* the supervision of all financial transactions, and the purchasing of all supplies, are functions of the office of Central Administration. At the central office there is a clerical assistant, who has immedidate charge of the bookkeeping and who concerns herself directly with the clerical features of this work. In order to secure a friendly and cordial relationship between the county health departments and governing officials of the counties, the medical director of each county was, on recommendation by the (ieneral Director, elected by the County Boards (»f Health, to the office of County Health Officer. This action has its weight in having the departments considered as permanent organizations in health work and in getting the laity accustomed to the functions and purposes of full-time health departments.
