Reductions.
One from 1st to 2nd class for insubordination, 1 from 3rd class to ap-
prentice grade for absenting himself from his circle without leave.
Dismissals.
One for bad work, one for disobedience of orders and leaving the pro-
vince without permission. This man applied for leave on the ground of
sickness and was directed to attend the nearest dispensary and submit a
medical certificate; instead of doing so, however, he left Berar and went
to his home at Aurangabad.
Taken as a body the vaccination establishment worked to my satisfac-
tion during the year. With some few exceptions, the vaccinators take an
intelligent interest in their work, and are conciliatory towards the people
amongst whom they labour.
With but one exception, the Native Superintendents performed their
duties with honesty, zeal, and assiduity, and exercised a careful supervision
over their respective establishments. They have taken pains to ensure that
the work done should be good, and a commendable spirit of emulation as
to which Superintendent would show best results has stimulated them to do
their best.
It has been customary to commend the most deserving Superintendents
in the Annual Report, and I therefore beg to bring to the favourable notice
of the Resident—
1st Class Superintendent Bapu Rao.

In addition to their vaccination duties Superintendents are required to
report on the sanitary condition of the several villages they visit with regard
to cleanliness, water-supply, prevalence of disease, and the condition of the
vital statistical registers, and to draw the attention of the village officials to
any neglect of the village sanitary rules, and explain to them anything in
these rules which they do not understand.
Each Superintendent and several of the vaccinators have been supplied
with Dr. Cunningham's Sanitary Primer, in which they will be examined
before the commencement of next working season.
