tlnok /orm Dispcnsarj Report.
Lust weok cloned the hookworm
campaign iu Alamance. In this
insuo we arc surrendering consider
able space to give the report in full.
Other items might huve been more
eagerly read and relished. On ac
count of its length many may not
road it, hut all should read it. It
contains s mo criticisms that our
people will not greatly relish. We
cannot say about tho justness of the
criticisms. As a matter of fact very
lew enjoy criticism when they hap
pen to I >o the subject of criticism;
but it is equally true that wholesome
criticism is a channel through which
many needed reformations are
wro'ight.
The. writer of the report portrays
conditions which should not exist, if
tho health of the countv is to be
properly safeguarded, and he makes
plain tho old proverb that "anounce
of preventive is worth a pound of
cure."
Hookworm may, or may not, be as
hurtful as reputed, but that does not
alter tho fact that unsanitary condi
ti iih jeopardize health- tho prime
factor in tho progress and happiness
of any community.

Ii U only in recent year* that
there hat come into the world a
new knowledge that it is possible
to save a man from a great part
of the sickness that has" heretofore
afflicted him, Thia new knowl
edge is the science of sanitation.
So important have ttie teachings
of this science become that every
progressive government is making
an 4 effort to have the results of
sanitation, and the means of ob
taining these results, known to all
their citizens. For a state to In
crease the public health and san
itary conditions of its citizens is
economical, because health means
the ability to work and earn good
wages; and a healthy community
means more business, more moDey,
and more comforts. It ia a sig
nificant fact, and one that every
citizen should be proud of, that
North Carolina is working with
progressive states of the
Union to accomplish thia end.
It is manifestly impossible for
the State Board of Health to reach
every individual within Its borders
and educate him regarding the
Iws of health. But it Is trying to
interest the. counties, and let them
in turn interest and educate the
people. It is to this end that the
Hookworm Campaign is being car
ried on in the Stated The ques
tion at once arises "Why does the
State Board of Health, if it wishes
to interest the people in sanita
tion, carry on a campaign agaihat
hookworm and intestinal par
asites?" No one can deny the
great vaule of the campaign to
I hose infected with intestinal par
sites, but the greatest value ia the
work of demonstration In the
counties where the dispensaries
are being conducted. This dem
onstration work has been applied
time and again to other field* of
endeavor'. In aiding educational
work in the South money was
spent in establishing, in different
sections of the State special tax
schools as demonstrations. In
these schools the people saw in
creased facilities, longer terms,
better teachers, and modern school
houses replace what they had re
garded as all they could afford.
As a result there has been voted
in North Carolina, in spite spite of
the aversion to increased taxes, a
special ta x for schools in more
than 1,500 district*. In agriculture, '
assistance to all crop* has not
been given, but dfinite demonstra
tions. Money hn* been supplied
for boys' corn clubs. The reault
has been an awakening in agricul
ture, and the yield ha* been im
proved until now 100 bushel* of
corn are grown on an acre by
mere boy*, a thing undreamed of
10 year* ago.
It Is this principal that i* now
being applied to public health
work. A class of diseases—intes
tinal parasites—has been chosen
to serve as a demonstration.
Hookworm disease is very preva
lent and is found in every county
of hte State during every month
of the year. It is preventable and
is easily cured, and such marked
results follow treatment that 'lt
appeals to everyone. In conduct
ing the Hookworm Campaign the
State Board of Health ia showing
what can be done in progre**ive
health work in six week*, so that
may form an estimate of the value
of such work when applied in a
systematic manner to all prevent
able diseases.

The free medical diapenaarlaa for
the treatment of Jlookworn
eaie and other diseaaea due to In
testinal paraalte* were conducted
in Alamance county for six weeka,
! from Augu*t Bth to September SO,
| 1913. Thl* work waa under the
' charge of the Hookworm Commle
sion of the North Carolina State
> Board or Health, and waa aada
' possible by the Commissioners of
the county co-operating with the
i State Board of Health. It may be
i of Intereat to state that the ex
, penses of the campaign ware Join
ly paid by the State and the coun
-1 ty.. The county appropriated a
sum not to exceed $240.00 to pay
medicine* used, the dvertiaing, the
container* for bringing in ap«ci
mens, and the expenaea of an as
sistant. By co-operating with tha

The campaign wa* conducted by
visiting points selected by the
county commissioners and estab
lishing temporary dispensaries
which the people could visit and
be examined. The conditions of
life in Alamance are different from
thoae of many of the other coun
ties of the State, and for this rea
son the problem of interesting the
people in public health and
sanitation la different. The chief
Industry Is manufacturing, there
being 23 cotton mills and a num
ber of other induitrie*, each em
ploying from 50 to several hun
dred operatives. These people,
or at least the heads of the fam
ilies, spend the day at their work
and cannot be reached so easily
as In counties where the chief pur
suits are agricultural. In order to
successfully work the mill town*
more dispensary points than usual
had to be selected, and since the
dispensary work was limited to
six weeks only two or three days
could be given to t each point.
Eleven points were established,
atod at these we were able to reach
17 cotton mills and several furni
ture factories. Aside from the
regalar dispensaries, lectures and
demonstrations on hookworm die-,
eaae and aanitation were given at
night at five churchea or school
houses. Through the kindness of
Mr. Vernon we were enabled to
a public demonatration at the Ma
sonic Picnic at Piedmont Park on
August 16th.
The mill people aa a rule were
hard to get interested In sanitary
meaiurea, and by the time they
learned the nature of oar work
the diipeniary had to be moved to
other point*. During the lat
ter part of our stay In the
county thla difficulty was
overcome by the aaalatance of
several progreaalve mill managera.
We had i circular letter printed
that gave information aa to how
the examination was made. Bach
mill owner furniahed aa with a
man acquainted with the mill peo
ple and their home*. This man
made a circuit of the village,
leaving at each hooae a letter,
a pamphlet on the hookworm die
ease and the number of container*
needed. On the following day he
made a second round and gath
ered up the specimens. This
method was especially successful
at the Saxapahaw, the Aurora, the
Lakeaide, the Oneida, and the Tra
vora cotton mill a. Mr. Bugene
Holt and Mr. Oeo. T. Williamson
were particularly Intereated and
stopped their mills In order that
their operatlvea might have an op
portunity to hear the lecture and
see the exhibit. During oar work
in the apper part of the county
we were greatly aided by Mr. Joe.
Oant at Altamahaw and Mr. Wil
liamson at (Hcbco* Oar first dis
pensary day at The Hub we were
awaited by Mr. Oant who used
every effort to have the people of
hi* mill examined. It waa due to
hla influence that 154 were exam
ined to oae day at Altamahaw. Mr.
Williamson Invited ua to come to
Oleneoe, aa alao did Mr. McNeely,
of the Blmira mills. These gen
i tlemen then had the epecimen*
collected and cent to ui at our'
neareit dispensary points. Mr.!
Baker of Swepeonville waa vary,
enthusiastic regarding our work, j
aad it waa doe to hla Influence
that wa were enabled to do sueh
good work the two days we were j
at the Virginia Cotton Mills. |
These are a few example*, only,
of what an Individual, by hi* per
sonal effort*, may do for the cause
of public healfti and sanitation.
We are sorry to atate, however,
that the co-operation "we received
from the majority of the leading
citizens of the county was very
meager. Many of the intellectu
al people of the county were indlf
( ferent and in some instance* prej
. udiced against our work. The
lack of interest and co-operatldn
on the part of the mdical profes-
Jaidn and on the part of the school
[authorities was surprising ! Du
j ring the entire six weeks only 9
' physician* visited the dispensaries,
and very few of these took an act
ive part in the work. If I
remember rightly, the dispensaries
at Burlington were not visited by
a single physician. When these
men were Interviewed thay said
they were interested and hoped
that we would meet with success,
but went no further. To accom
plish any thing positive in public
health, as in any other movement
for the upbuilding of humanity, in
terest to be effective must
be positive and must be ex- '
pressed in work.
The truth of the Apostle that
"Faith without works is dead," is
seen here with much force. Natu
rally the greatest aid in a cam
paign of this kind is from the
leaders, for when the leaders be
come interested the people follow.
It was a great Opportunity for
those in charge of the education
and the health- of the people to
promote sanitation and health
among the masse*. "The physi
cians are the guardians of the
public health," and the time is not
far distant when "the work of
medical profession will % not to
cure people of disease, tiflt to pre
vent the people from having dis
ease.
An exception to this inactivity
on the part of the doctors was
seen in the cases of Dr. R. O. Mc
pherson of Sa xapahaw, and Drs
Wilkins and Sterrett of Haw
River. These physicians visited
the dispensaries every day we
were at their places and did a
great work in getting the country
people interested. The efforts of
Dr. McPherson along this line are
are shown by the large attendance
on our second day at Saxapahaw,
when more than 300 people were
examined.
During the entire time the dis
pensaries were conducted the
newspaper* aided us greatly.
They published weekly news Item*
regarding the success of our work
and also urged the people to take
advantage of the offportunity the
State and county were giving
tem.
As a whole our work examining
people for intestinal parasites was
highly successful despite the dif
ficulties and the lack of co-oper
ation. And in addition to this,
quite a number of people became
Interested in private Sanitation
and have built sanitary privies at
their homes. Three or four of the
mills are arranging for improved
sanitary condition* at their ten
ant house* and I believe that
that much good will result from
this phase of the nvork.
111.
Prom a sanitary point of view,
the position of a majority .of the
homes and villages, as well as of
the larger towns in Alamance
county is most melancholy. Tak
ing the county as a whole, the
greatest evil against the public
health, is the type of dirty, loath
some, unsanitary,, open backed
privies found in so many homes.
This type of privy is not limited
to the country homes or to the
mill villages, but is also found at
a majority of the home* in the
suburbs of Oraham and Burlington.
A conservative estimate would be
that more than 90 percent, of the
homes in the county have privies
of this grade. Aside from pollu
ting the soil, being unsightly and
permeating the atmosphere with
foul odor*, these privies permit
breeding of countless myriads of
files which carry filth and disease
to the homes. It is in this way
that the majority of intestiud dis
eases such a* typhoid fever, many
form* of diarrhoea and bowel com
plaint*, and hookworm di*ea*e are
apread. A great many home* have
no privy of any type, and the un
sanitary condition of such a place
u*uaHy beggars description. Fully
80 percent of the school* we vis
ited were without privies of any
kind. It la at school that children
from all claase* of citizenship meet
and mingle and the significance of
this fact needs no comment. At
no place In the county did we fina
any effort being made to destroy
the breeding places of mosquitoes
or to limit the apread of mala
ria. The conditions of public
health and sanitation at many of
the cotton milla is abhorrent, due
to the fact that "what is every
body's business la nobody's bus
iness." At some of the mills the
houses are owned by the individ
uals while at other place* the com
pany owning the mill alao owns
the tenant housea. 1 believe eloae
observation will show the condi
tion* worse In the latter place*.
If any aanttary law* apply to Ala
mance county they should be at
once Invoked and the owner* forc
ed to remedy such condition*.

ine's time and labor and uaea It

In speaking of sanitation, it is
not necessary to mention any of
the mill villages in detail. Some,
oj[ course are worse than others;
but all are bad .enough. If you
you want to see these condition*
for yourself go to any of them, i
Everyone in thl* county knows
the degree to which typhoid, a
preventable disease has ravaged
during the past months and so no
mention will be made of the epi
demic.
IV
Having taken a retrospect of
the sanitary conditions in Ala
mance county let us turn from
such a gloomy aspect and pass
to a constructive atitude and de
cide how these conditions may
be improved. The great trouble
in getting sanitary jneasures car
ried out is that so many of the
people do not understand anything
at all about the nature of diseases.
There are many people in Ala
mance county who do not know
that malaria is spread by mosqui
toes, or that a person who i* only
slightly ill may be carrying - the
gerinß of typhoid. There are a
still greater nujnber who do not
know the way in which infectious
diseases are spread; who do not
know that tuberculosis, typhoid
fever, diarrhoea, many bowel com
plaints in children, and hookworm
disease are all spread by filth and
unsanitary surroundings at home
and at the schools. It is those
people who do not realize the val
ue of sanitation, of destroying the
filthy breeding places of flies, or
or of ridding a community of
mosquitoes. The great problem of
sanitation and public health is—
how can the masses be made to
realize the importance of keeping
clean and having sanitary sur
roundings ? The answer is,
EDUCATION. Everyone there
fore, who spreads a knowledge of
diseases and their causes is help
ing the sanitary condition of the
community, for where there is
knowledge of diseases the fear of
them and the effort to escape
from them will soon, follow.
A* stated in ' the beginning of
this report, it is impossible for the
Slate to reach every citizen and
instruct him. That is the duty
and privilege of the county. The
public health movement is not a
temporary affair, but a movement
that is gaining force as the months
and years go by and as more, of
the citizens learn the value of per
sonal sanitation. The greatest
force in this work is the instruc
tion given to the school children
and to the people at large. The
common people who are not reach
ed by the newspapers and the
health bulletins. Thei»only way to
accomplish these ends is to em
ploy j a capable and experienced
physician for his whole time to
look after the health of the coun
ty. It is not necessary to mention
the numerous duties he would
have to perform. The greater part
of "his work- would be constructive
—teaching the laws of health to
the masses and seeing that they
observe them.
Since the law requiring the reg
tratlon of the vital statistics has
gone Into effect the health officer
is made more responsible to the
people than any officer in our
government. The progress of his
work is measured year by year
and if his results are not positive
he is not making good. Then too,
this officer's work is made more
effective since the State Board of
Health has established a Bureau
of County Health. A physician is
in charge of this work and it is
his sole duty to co-operate with
the whole time health officers,
keeping them in touch with similar
work being done in other counties.
The need of a whole time
health officer in Alamance is so
apparent that Dr. P. W. Covington,
head of the Bureau of County
Health was invited to visK the
county and lay the proposition be
fore the officials. At a joint
meeting of the Boards of Health,
Education and Commissioners Dr.
CovlDgton explained the duties of
the whole time health officer and
gave In detail the attitude of the
State Board of Health. Talks in
favor of this move were made by
Drs. Stafford, Walker and Pickett,
Mr. Robertson and Mr. J. L. Scott
of the Board of Education, the
Rev. Mr. Buck and several other*,
The Board* of Education an d
were unanimous in recommending
that the Commissioners make pro
vision for employing a physician
for hi* entire time.
There la not space to give In de
tail the points brought out at the
meeting, but will only mention one
fact shown by Dr. Covington. Sta
tistics prove that aalde from the
Ueducatlonal and constructive part
of hi* work, a county health offi
cer, getting the minimum result*,
would In his first year reduce the
death rate 1 in every 1,000 of
population. This means that in
Alamance county the health officer
M lives daring the first year of
his work. The United State* Gov
ernment place* a value of IUS.N
on every immigrant that land* on
oar *hore*. This mean* that every
poor, illiterate foreigner, who in
word for It—try It yourself on an sbeo
lota guarantee, get a package and U
yon don't get relief you can gat you
money back for the asking. Brown's

many instances cannot speak our
language, is worth to the Govern
ent $885.00 in the increased taxes
which his work will turn to the
treasury. The salary for a whole
time health officer is $2,500.00 per
year, an increase of taxes of a
very few cents on the hundred
dollars of property. If 30 lives
can be saved by. this investment
the cost to the county would be
less than $85.00 each. The County
Commissioners, however, said the
county is too poor to pay the
price to save the lives of its citi
