Other states Looking This Way for

Not great deal is heard in praise OF
the system and laws which go to make
up the method of Vermont's board of
health I'm it's work of caring for the health
Of the people of this State. But that Yer
mont ranks exceptionally high in this
regard is demonstrated by the fact that
several States have depended upon Yer.
monts laws and regulations upon which
to base their systems.
rhe most recent State to apply for YER
mont laws is Texas. DR.. c. f. Dalton,

out SO successfully in Vermont.
The Vermont public health system has
been worked up to it's present efficiency
after a number Of years OF concentrated
effort and has very gradually been per-
fected by new and changed laws. The
system is essentially n Vermont-madc
one, peculiar to this State, and is recog-
nzed by the bureau of the census of tho
department of commerce at Washington
to the extent that Vermont is admitted to
the so-called registration area for deaths
This State was admitted many years ago.
when only a few States in the country
were in this area. The area is now in
creased so that about two-thirds Of the
entire pupu.ntion of the United States is
included.
Vermont ~ also admitted to the regis
tration area lor births. which was organ.
lied within tie last three years and which
includes only the New England States.
New York. Michigan. Pennsylvania and
the District If Columbia. Only such
States were admitted as have adequate
laws of registration and whose returns of
births are calculated to be over 30 per
cent. perfect. The birth returns In YER
mont are about 90 per cent. accurate and
the death rates are probably 100 per cent.

The work Of the bureau of the census
includes finding the exact death or birth
rate Of the country and only the States
