stance, with fund specially collected 1t
ran a six weeks campaign for typhoid vac
oination in 12 counties. II vacclnated $4,000
persons.
II next undertook school surveys. The
plan was to have the county board appro-

For this II got a sanitary inspection and
survey OF the schoolhouse, wells and
grounds with recommendations, a physical
examination of each school child, course
of instruction in personal and public hy-
gene and an examination of the students
in the subject covered, with prizes for those
who excelled. These school surveys. In the
