The Civil Surgeon of Chanda made very careful inspections and saw the
work of all his staff except one. He was out in camp for 51 days and saw
4,804 vaccinated children, out of which 4,357 were well protected.
44. The Civil Surgeon of Raipur writes :—
" I regret I was unable to go on inspection tour myself, as in consequence of the Census
operations, there was no assistant available to take charge of the Jail."
It is to be regretted that the work of inspection was left entirely to the
Native Superintendent in this important district ; the Assistant Surgeon as in
Saugor and Jubbulpore might have accomplished a good deal.
The Civil Surgeon, Bilaspur, made a tour which extended over 31 days, and
in this time he visited 10 vaccination circles, and inspected 2,690 children.
The Civil Surgeon, Sambalpur, made very careful and extensive tours which
extended altogether to 35 days, in which time he visited 278 villages, inspected
9,691 children, of whom 9,662 were found protected.
45. The tours of Civil Surgeons are of such vast importance to the dis-
trict that it would be very desirable if all Civil Surgeons could make arrange-
ments to enable them to become acquainted with their respective districts, as
their influence and opportunities of imparting instructions are necessarily great
in all matters connected with sanitation and vaccination. When the Civil Sur-
geons have the opportunity, which the majority enjoy, of making inspection tours,
the work of the Native Superintendent becomes unnecessary. In fact his work
seems to require superintendence as much as that of vaccinators.
Native
Superintendents.
46. At Saugor Native Superintendent Roshun Lall was reduced to the
grade of vaccinator, and in his room Adjoodia Parshad of Narsinghpur was
promoted. This man has given much satisfaction to the Civil Surgeon and is
pronounced to be the best Native Superintendent that has served in the district.
He spent 94 days in camp, inspected 508 villages and 7,043 children ; of these
6,434 were successful.
Damoh also had a new Native Superintendent (Mohamed Ameer Khan).
The Civil Surgeon writes in praise of this man who is active and energetic and
obtained a 1st class certificate at Nagpur.
At Jubbulpore the Civil Surgeon writes :—
" The conduct of the Native Superintendent was so unsatisfactory, that it was found
necessary to remove him. One Bass Deo Misser was appointed in his place, he is
a better and more trustworthy man and will, in time, I hope, understand what is
expected of him."
47. The Civil Surgeon of Narsinghpur writes :—
" Ahmed Beg, the Native Superintendent, has shown no interest in his work, and he is
not as active and energetic as a man in his position should be. If the Civil Surgeon
is required to inspect the amount and quality of work done by the vaccinators, an
indifferent Native Superintendent would hardly seem to be needed for the purpose."
The Civil Surgeon, Hoshangabad, writes favourably of the Native Superin-
tendent Nadar Khan ; he worked well and reported impartially on the work of
each vaccinator, and has exercised a very useful supervision over the operations
generally.
At Nimar there was no Native Superintendent, the Civil Surgeon having
expressed a desire to carry on the work without the aid of one. He writes :—
" There has been no Native Superintendent to supervise these men this year, but I am
not able to say that more work would have been done if there had been a Superin-
tendent." Again, " from having no Superintendent to depend upon, my inspec-
tions were perhaps more thorough."
48. The Civil Surgeon, Mandla, writes thus of his Native Superintendent
Shree Krishna :—
" He is a hard worker and very intelligent, is a Brahmin very much respected, with
great influence, and can smooth over any slight opposition the people may have."
The Civil Surgeon, Chhindwara, had no Native Superintendent. He writes :—
" In last year's report it was recommended that a reduction of the establishment might
be attempted without interfering with its efficiency, and in compliance with this
