Raleigh. Sept. t.?In htf iddrns
today before the American Medical
Aseociatlon at Rochester, fc. T.. Dr.
W. 8. Rankin will explain the field,,
method* and eoet of Rural Sanita
tion?a feature of public health I
work recently undertaken by the!
North Carolina State- Board of]
Wealth.
This subject is of vast importance
a? It embraoea about 8* per cent of
North Carolina's population snd a
bont 99 per cent of her area. In
Dr. Rankin'a opinion rural sanita
tion is an entirely different propo
sition from urban sanitation and
must be treated as euch. Legisla
tion will work .In controlling the
later, hut the only means of reach
ing . the first is through education.
Rural sanitation Is the work of
county and eossmnnty governments
but, n cooperation . with the State
gorerument. The State's " position
in this matter la to initiate, to plan,
but it is left te the individual conn-'
if ee to sgocute, Ho /take care pf j
There are two methode proposed I
by Dr. Rankin by which a county
may carry out aanitatary measures.!
The first U by the whole-time coo
ty health officer method where the
county does Its own work; the sec
ond may be termed the unit system
where the county may hare ita work
done by some outside agency, the
State Board of HeaRh, for instance.
Am an illustration 'of this unit or
?contract system of work which a
esounty may adopt, the anti-typhoid
?campaign now la operation by the
$tata Board of Health in ten or
more counties, may be cited. For
?en appropriation of 1600 per coun
ty. about SO.090 people In the ten
counties w^ll hare been vaccinated
against typhoid fever, which is from
one-eighth to one-third of ea
county's population.
Of the comparative value of the
two methods. Dr. Rankin says: "The
whole time county health officer
system propesee an officer snd is
subject to local politics while the
unit or contract system proposes
plans aad specifications and Is not
subject to lecal politics. The for
mer plan ooets Che county from II.
000 to 94.000 a year and is avail
able to oaly a few counties while)
, the letter costs the county fr<
1600 to 9S.000 a year and is avail
able to nearly all the counties. The
unit system as an Instrument of
sanitation in the haads of the flute
Board of Health is better sdapted
to a variety of county condlioos and
Is lmporta it aa a stepping stone to
the whole time county health ofll

of Commissioners of Beaufort Coun
ty. The Court granted a D?w trial
to the Board of County Commis
sioners. finding the rate ordered by
Judge Bond to be eraeeeive,. The
Court in their order provide? for a
settlement of the matter between
the two Board?, and in the ?vent
they can not agree, the Court will
appoint a referee wlft> will hear all
of the eridenee. amf report direct
to them.
This was the case in which the
Board of Education sued out a writ
at mandamus against the Board of
County Commissioners to compel
the latter board to levy a general
county school tax of 7 cents on 9100
valuation and SI cents on each poll,
the Board of Commissioners have
previously, declined to make the levy
holding same as unnecessary.
The case w*a? heard before Judge
Bond at Chambers in Ed en ton on
August 9, 1915, and the Judge or
dertd the levy m asked lor by the
Board of fBducattan, -and ilw Board
Of CommlniunorB appealed to tbs
Supreme C&irt. Th?? cam was ar
gued before lite Supreme Court on
AtlfUlt 3 lit.

Attorney, who represented the Board
of Commlselonera before Judge

B fa?i Tfry much gratified over
the decision of the Court. ThU mat
ter received the moat carafuL atten
tion when It wm presented to the
Board of County Commissioners,
and when they refnaed to maka the
levy they acted on their baat busi
ness Judgment, tf the Commission
art had for m moment thought that
the schools needed the money, they
would. bav? tpade a levy, but they
had absolutely convinced themselves
that there would be sufficient money
to maintain the schools without an
additional tax. By judicious man
agement the schools of the county
will have sufficient funds to main
tain them as required by law."
