7.—GENRRAL REMARKS ON THE ROHILKHUND DIVISION.
The increased establishment has not produced that corresponding increase of vac¬
cinnation which I had reason to expect. The Deputy Superintendent, Baboo Bundee
Deen, has, it appears to me, failed this season to keep his Native Superintendents up to
their usual work, and, through them, his vaccinators. The earlier occurrence of the
Holee holidays this year no doubt interfered, and many of the vaccinators were not
only new to their business, but also to the localities to which they were posted ; yet
with all these drawbacks, I consider that more might have been done.
Two of the vaccinators recently appointed were discovered falsifying their returns,
and were dismissed from the department, notice of their dismissal being sent to all the
other circles to prevent their again procuring employment.
It is satisfactory to find that it is chiefly the new, inexperienced hands who try
on falsification. The older ones have, I hope, learnt the fact that the checks are so
numerous that detection of false entries becomes a mere question of time, and that it is
therefore better to stick to honesty as being the safest policy. The general average
number of vaccinations per mensem performed by the Government vaccinators through-
out Rohilkhund is, 1 consider, good, being 312.21; but the lower average of the muni-
cipal vaccinators here, as in every other circle, spoils the otherwise fair aspect. The
fault, however, does not lie with the vaccinator, nor with their supervisors; for no labour
has been spared by the department to make matters more successful. I have dwelt
upon the real causes elsewhere.
The doubling the strength of the Government vaccinators in the two zillahs of
Bijnour and Moradabad during the past season has not had sufficient time to show
the real benefit that will accrue, for the men appointed were, as stated above, new to
the work, unknown to the people, and with no knowledge of the localities allotted to
them. It takes years to make a vaccinator. A well-trained, long-experienced man
is worth twice as much as a new one, for he cannot only do double the amount of
work, but can do it twice as well. I should like to see the three remaining zillahs in
Rohilkhund have their staff of vaccinators doubled next season. The people are quite
ripe for the measure, and every vaccinator would find plenty of work for his hands.
