in operation, some being held every
month and others every two months.
What is needed is much larger num-
Der of small clinics held in the out
lying districts of the county, prefer
ably clinics in the "Healthmobile" or,
trailer, in which equipment is set up
for use at all times. More nurses are
needed, however, before this could be
undertaken. In our school program
1926 children were given medical in
spections and over 5000 others re-
ceived nurses inspections. The great
est need in this work, however, is a
system of county clinics to which
nurses can refer INDECENT and semi.
INDECENT children found to have defec-
tive vision, hearing and abnormal
heart condition.
Cooperation of Physicians-Twenty
one of the practicing physicians of the
county rendered service in school ex-
aminations, maternity or child by
giene clinics, or venereal disease
clinics during the year. The plar
under which this service is rendered
was arranged by the County Medica
Society.
Advances - The three important
advances in the health program dur
ing the year were:
1. The expansion Of the mental ny
giene program by the Mental Hygiene
Committee.
2. The establishing of rural nurs-
ing demonstration unit in the Dine!
District.
8. The purchase and operation b.

Needs - The chief needs in thu
Health Department at present are:

ume of work recommended by healtl
authorities.
2. An additional sanitary inspector
for food inspection and rural santa

3. Additional clerical service parti

4. A plan for medical serciccs fol

Health conditions in the last year
were essentially normal, according TO
DR.. v. L. Ellicott, Montgomery county
health officer, in the annual report Of
the Health Department for 1888.
Spotted fever took more than its US
ual toll, 3 Of the s cases being fatal
There were cases and one death
from typhoid, q cases and one death
from diphtheria, but no deaths among
the cases of scarlet fever, measles and
other communicable diseases. The re-
port follows:
Venerial Disease - Two additional
venereal disease clinics were estab-
1ished during the year, bringing the
total to 5. This increase m service to-
gether with 30 illustrated lectures
represented satisfactory progress
against these serious diseases.
Tuberculosis-The program to con-
troll tuberculosis among white persons
progressed satisfactorily through the
use of new portable X-ray machine
which is serving a great need, and
through a program of tuberculin test
ing Of school children begun in De-
tobsr. No progress is being made IN
the colored tuberculosis program be-
cause of lack Of sanitarium space.
Child Hygiene Following the
suggestion Of the State Department
of Health, a new type of Clinic was
established in which expectant mo-
theirs, infants and pre-school children
are all received and examined at the
