32
Division of the District
for vaccination purposes.
The district is divided into 26 Circles for vaccination purposes, corres-
ponding to the Police Circles, and each man is put in charge
of 2 or 3 Circles,—see Statement No. I. He is supplied
with a written alphabetical list of all the villages in each of his Circles and
their population. As soon as he reports those Circles completed, he is transfer-
red to new ground.
I arrived at Neimpani on 21st of October, where I saw 154 children, 41 of
whom were not vaccinated, and I had them done at my camp. When a child
is vaccinated, its name, age, sex, father's name, and caste, are registered in a
village form provided for the purpose: this form is left with the village Malguzar,
and when I or the native Superintendent pass through the place, we check the
work done by this list. No work had been done in this place by the Vaccinator,
up to date. On the 22nd, I went to Shahpur, where I found the Vaccinator
Anajee Parsram, had secured only 30 children in 3 weeks, of whom only 15 or
one half were successful, and 15 unsuccessful.
On November 3rd I went to Amla, where I examined 541 children from
20 villages ; of these, 178 were secured last year, 236 were done by the Vacci-
nator this year, and 127 were not vaccinated; these latter I had done on the
spot.
I went on to Bordhi on the 5th, where 321 children from 17 villages were
examined, of whom 178 were vaccinated last year. 8 only were done this year
by the Circle Vaccinator, Mohiouddeen Khan, who had been working in another
Circle up to a short time before my arrival; however, his work is more carefully
done, and more children secured this year than were last season. Unfortunately
he was sick and had to go to hospital for 5 or 6 weeks. Otherwise his work
would have been still larger. I carefully checked his returns and found them
quite correct, and have every reason to be satisfied with his season's work. I
found 139 children not vaccinated here, these were operated on in my camp.
Next day I proceeded to Morkha, where 1 had as many children as possi-
ble from the surrounding 8 villages collected ; 295 came up for inspection, of
whom 220 were vaccinated last year ; no work had been done this year by the
Vaccinator up to the time of my arrival. I found 75 children unvaccinated, and
had them secured before I left.
From Morkha I went to Multai on the 7th, where I found the Deputy
Commissioner encamped.
I halted here 4 days, I had the children of 48 villages all round collected,
and examined 2,832, of whom 2,174 had been vaccinated last or in previous. years,
218 were secured this season by the Circle Vaccinator Ameroodeen. The vesi-
cles on those children were, with few exceptions, well marked, and the work
was carefully done; those children whom I compared with the village forms were
taken at random from the crowd, and I found them to correspond with the en-
tries made. He vaccinated upwards of 600 children more this season than
he did last year, and I am well satisfied with him. I found 440 children un-
vaccinated, ,and had them operated on in my camp while encamped here". The
Deputy Commissioner had ample opportunity of observing how the work was
carried on, and expressed his surprise at the willingness with which the people
flocked in from every direction for my inspection. The only means that were
used to ,collect them, being a Parwana sent to the Malguzar or Kotwar of the
nearest village ; this was passed on to the next, and so on, for a, radius of 2 or 3
miles all round my camp, directing them to bring in the children of their res-
