Vaccination performed by each class.
12. In the above table is exhibited, in very laborious detail, the share taken in
vaccination by each class of the working staff at each station
or district centre.
By Civil Surgeons
13. In many cases the part taken by Civil Surgeons is merely nominal,and excuses
of different sorts are made. At Tezpur, Gauháti, Nowgong,
and Sibságar, on the other hand, the Civil Surgeons have
found time to practise as well as to instruct; and I am inclined to think that where the
former is neglected, the latter is not much looked after.
Dr. Campbell at Tezpur has
been diligent as usual. Dr. Whitwell at Lakhimpur was engaged qualifying in languages;
but now that he has passed, I hope his previous excellent service in vaccination will be
resumed. The combined total was 1,173 primary operations, with 1,060, or 90.37 per cent.
successful.
By the subordinate medical department.
14. The vaccination performed by Assistant-Surgeon Hari Charan Sen, by the
Hospital-Assistants, by eight native inspectors, and the
compounders was also relatively insignificant. There are two
superior records only among them. Hospital-Assistant Dwarka Nath Shome at Mangal-
dai is again the best of his year with a highest on record of 422 operations; and native
inspector Mehajan Ali of Nowgong, with 610 operations, is likewise best for the second
year in succession in his class.
By Provincial or Government, by Local
Fund, and by licensed vaccinators
15. The great bulk of the work is carried on by the Provincial, the Local Fund,
and the licensed vaccinators. These three classes, number-
ing 144, or 68.9 per cent, of the operators, performed 105,669,
or 91.3 per cent. of the total. The highest average is again taken,by the Provincial class,
with an excellent record of 986 per man among 42; the Local Fund men, 70 altogether,
average 666; while 32 licensed vaccinators are close behind with 611.
By municipal vaccinators.
16. There were, besides, nine municipal vaccinators, who are not as a class very hard-
working. Their average is 473, which is not so good as
last season, but a good deal better than in former years.
Sylhet is again the worst, with only 245 operations and 218 successes. Sibságar, on the
other hand, had 894, and Gauháti 734; and, if the officials in Sylhet were only open to
conviction, these examples might serve of what can be done when there is a will to do,
instead of a willingness to find reasons for not doing.
