REPORT OF THE KING INSTITUTE, GUINDY.
and shows a rise of 1.71 per cent. in the success rate, as against a fall of 0.86 in
the Presidency generally, the scheme would appear to be successful. In North
and South Arcot Districts, however, it is not so. At first the change seems to have
had some benefit and the figures for April and May 1914 are strikingly improved
over those for 1913. The improvement, however, has not been maintained and the
figure for the whole year in these circles shows a decline over that for last year,
notwithstanding the fact that the figures for the whole district, compulsory and
non-compulsory areas together, are slightly better than those for 1913-14.
4. The system of monthly returns sent in through the Deputy Inspectors of
Vaccination is now thoroughly established, and the change from fortnightly
returns sent in an unchecked manner from the vaccinators has resulted in a great
improvement in the regularity with which the returns are received.
5. The extra supplies sent out to Districts and Municipalities again rose and this
year amounted to 15 per cent. of the total. This is an unduly high figure and by
a closer estimate of probable requirements could be reduced and some of the
consequent extra expenditure on tubes packing and postage and of the additional
clerical work, avoided. Attention was called to this point in G.O. No. 917 L.,
dated 29th July 1910, and these extra returns had fallen to 10 per cent. in the year
1912-13, after having been as high as they are in this year.
