for the year ended June 30th, 1927.
WILLIAM SLOAN,
Provincial Secretary. ,   ' REPORT of the PROVINCIAL BOARD OF HEALTH.
Provincial Board of Health,
Victoria, B.C., November 30th, 1927.
The Honourable William Sloan,
Provincial Secretary, Victoria, B.C.
Sir,—I have the honour to submit the Thirty-first Annual Report of the Provincial Board
of Health for the year ended June 30th, 1927.
Ordinarily, our Report appears in August of the current year, but owing to our arrangement
with Ottawa in respect to the vital statistics it has been delayed pending receipt of the tables
from the Census Bureau.
In 1918 I suggested to the Honourable the Minister a change in the date of the publication
of our Report, asking that it be published in midsummer in order to coincide with the completion
of the school-year, and also to enable us to present a report on the Vital Statistics Branch a
sufficient length of time from the completion of the previous year to enable us to return a
complete report.    This has been carried out.
In the meantime, arrangements which had been pending with the Census Bureau at Ottawa
have been given effect to, and all the Provinces make their complete Vital Statistics Report to
Ottawa, who tabulate them, but we find now that Ottawa is not able to give us the figures until
the end of the present year, and we are just in receipt of these.
This delays our general Report, and I beg leave to suggest that we revert to our former
procedure; that is, for the Annual Report of the Department to appear in midsummer at the end
of the school-year, and that the Vital Statistics Report be issued as a separate report and be
published on receipt of the full tables at the end of the year. This will enable us to present
both Reports to the Legislature in January of each year as is provided for under present laws.
This procedure will coincide with the other Provinces in regard to the issuance of the Vital
Statistics Report, and enables comparison to be made as between the Provinces, and also enables
the Census Department to publish a complete report coincident with the publication of the
Provincial reports.
The Annual Report of the Provincial Board of Health is primarily engaged in reporting the
statistics of communicable diseases which come within the purview of the Department, and,
by comparing the number of cases as reported from year to year, gauge the results of the work
of the Board. This is the general conception that the public has of our work, but as we progress
we have endeavoured to show the public that the number of cases of infectious diseases reported
is more a criticism of, not the Department, but of the conduct of the community itself in regard
to their non-observance of the law of the land.
Our whole effort has been directed along the lines of the awakening, in the public conscience,
of a sense of their responsibility, and that the results from the enforcement of the health laws
can only be brought about by co-operation on the part of the public. Governments may make
laws, but they can only keep a step or two ahead of what the public desires, and to get at the
desires of the public necessitates a long-continued propaganda in an effort to educate them to
their responsibilities. I am pleased to say that during the past few years there has been a
remarkable awakening of the public conscience in this matter. They are beginning to realize
what the individual as regards his relation to the community means, and as regards the efforts
he must make individually in the prevention of disease by attention to personal hygiene, the
education of himself and others in the idea of the prevention ,f disease as distinct from its
cause. The inculcation of this idea has been our aim, and our efforts have been to create a
broader outlook by the health-work as carried on by the Government.
Formerly it was the highest ambition of public-health workers to show each year a
diminished morbidity and mortality rate from certain named diseases. If the Public Health
Officer could show that in a brief period of his incumbency he had cut the typhoid death-rate
down to one-fifth of its former proportions and had a steadily diminishing rate for scarlet fever
or diphtheria, he felt that he had done a great deal. But within the past few years we have
had a higher ambition. We have felt that we must deal with more than the negative side of
health, and that it was most distinctly within the province of a Health Officer to put forth
every effort to raise the vitality of every human unit in his community to the highest point of
efficiency. He must no longer be satisfied with the knowledge that from the result of his
efforts a number of individuals have survived who might have died from some preventable
disease, but he must also feel that he must lay a foundation for the robust citizens of to-morrow, and so our ideals have advanced, taking in not only the previous field of sanitation, but also that
of personal hygiene.
How to reach the individual, however, has been the problem. Health Officers could not
personally supervise the daily life of each individual in the community, and he recognizes,
therefore, the necessity for educational measures, directed both to the end of securing better
understanding, and hence better support to the Health Department, and also to so educate the
individual as to furnish him with the knowledge of how to promote his individual health and
with the incentive to put that knowledge into effect.
That we are accomplishing our purpose is largely due to the fact that a sufficient number
of the citizens have become thoroughly interested, and through them, as individuals, organizations have been reached, and public-health work in British Columbia is able to show milestones
of progress from year to year.
Our Public Health Nursing Service is probably the best example of the progress that we
are making in regard to the education of the public.
The Department of Public Health in the University is providing a course for the training
of our Public Health Nurses. This is supplemented by a training in our leading Public Health
Centres of the actual work as carried out in our different districts, and it is due to the establishment of these nurses that we are able to report still further advances during the past year.
Our ambition has been to create self-contained health units in the different municipalities
under a full-time Medical Health Officer and with a sufficient number of nurses to give effect to
the health laws.
There have been, in our two largest cities, full-time Medical Health Officers for some years,
but in all of the rest of the Province part-time officers carried on the work. These officers were
selected from amongst the local practitioners, and while the Department acknowledges its
indebtedness to these men and to their valuable services in time of epidemics, yet it was
impossible to embark upon an educational health-work under the supervision of men who were
themselves busy practitioners, and our object has been to convince the people of the value of
giving specially trained people the special work of educating them to realize that, within natural
limits, any community can determine its own death-rate, and also to realize that " prevention
is better far than cure."
We have established, during the past year, three full-time health units. It is a difficult
matter to convince people that they are deriving benefits following certain costs if it cannot
be demonstrated to them that there is not an actual monetary return, and in this materialistic
age a suggestion to increase taxes without such a monetary return receives very scant attention.
But the work carried on by the nurses, the results we have achieved in our schools, the better
control of epidemics, all has had its effect, and led to the adoption by three of the districts of
full-time men, and I am pleased to record that the results in these districts, in even such a short
time, have convinced the people.
The men whom we have placed in charge are men who have specialized in health-work;
they went into the district with a definite programme and have carried it out, with the result
that adjoining districts are making inquiries as to how it was done and what it costs.
In inaugurating the first three units, we are indebted to the Rockefeller International Health
Board for financial assistance, which is granted for a limited time, but it is the fact that this
has been granted that has enabled us to get the people to make the beginning. By the time
that this grant is withdrawn these districts will, as they express themselves, willingly go on
with the work.
The plan carried out is a full health programme, beginning with prenatal work, followed
by infant-welfare, pre-school, then school, until,the child leaves the school. This is the basis
of the work, and using this as the introduction into the home, the establishment of classes
amongst the older people, we are able to bring home to them the real purpose of a co-ordinated
plan; that is, the elimination of disease by study, research, and co-operative effort, based upon
our knowledge that common contagious diseases are spread chiefly by the direct transfer of
excretions from person to person.
The establishment of unified health service is the application of the knowledge gathered
as a result of investigations by many men in all countries, and its justification is probably best
expressed by quoting from Dr. Charles V. Chapin's address on " Science and Public Health "
before the American Public Health Association:—
" The science which can point to its achievements against smallpox, malaria, yellow fever,
diphtheria, typhoid and typhus fevers, tuberculosis, and a score of other diseases, as well as BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT, 1926-27. K 3
to a rapid lengthening of human life, and especially to the saving of vast numbers of infants
from early death, need not be ashamed to acknowledge that some experiments have failed;
neither should it hesitate to admit that we are still merely picking up pebbles on the shore of
the sea of knowledge, and that what is not known about maintaining and perfecting the health
of mankind is far greater than what is known. The opportunities for discovery are as great
as before the days of Harvey, Pasteur, and Lister."
We have endeavoured to show in our reports that the Health Board is appreciative of the
changes that have taken place in regard to the management of health matters. The essential
change is that " The old public health was concerned with the environment, the new is concerned
with the individual; the old sought the sources of infectious diseases in the surroundings of
man, the new finds them in the man himself." Our object is the awakening of the public
conscience and securing the encouragement of an intelligent public opinion to bring, through
the practical application of our health laws, the increased length of life, increased productive
capacity of the human asset, decreased sickness and misery, and bring about the culmination of
national prosperity produced by happy, healthy, contented people.
I will refer briefly to the different branches of the Department.
TUBERCULOSIS.
The work in regard to tuberculosis is making very satisfactory progress. Dr. A. S. Lamb,
our Travelling Diagnostician, is reporting a real increase in the interest which is being manifested by the people in general.
He is establishing clinics in different parts of the Province, in co-operation with the local
medical men and with the assistance of our Public Health Nurses. He deals with this in his
report, which we are publishing.
The figures in regard to tuberculosis, which we publish, appear large considering the
population, but we must take into account that British Columbia, for climatic reasons, is
regarded as a Mecca for tuberculosis cases which come here from all parts of the country.
In addition, the number of deaths is swollen by the deaths amongst the Indians, the Chinese,
and the Japanese, and Dr. Lamb, in his report, is publishing these figures, which are illuminating.
In connection with the Canadian Tuberculosis Association, and through financial assistance
of the Federal Indian Department, surveys of the Indians have been carried out during the past
two years under the management of Dr. Hill, Professor of Health in the University of- British
Columbia and Director of Laboratories, together with Dr. Vrooman, formerly Superintendent
of the Tranquille Sanatorium, and Dr. Lamb. The results of their work are embodied in
comprehensive reports which will be published in the Annual Report of the Canadian Tuberculosis Association.
The work lias been done in a very thorough manner, and is probably the best of its kind
that has been undertaken in regard to the Indians in any part of the continent.
We believe that the Federal Department has under advisement the establishment of a
Tuberculosis Sanatorium for the Indians. The Provincial Government has already under construction a hundred-bed unit at the Provincial Sanatorium at Tranquille, and there has been
provided in the CitjT of Vancouver a ninety-bed accommodation for advanced cases, in order
to relieve the Sanatorium of the care of these cases and to permit of more cases in the incipient
stage being treated.
VENEREAL CLINICS.
Our venereal clinics are carrying on their work in a most satisfactory manner. Their real
purport is being better understood by the public, and without very much effort on our part the
attendance is increasing and we are working our clinics to capacity. We have had to enlarge
the accommodation in the clinic in Vancouver three different times.
Educational work is also being carried on through different agencies, and we are satisfied
that there has been an appreciable control of the disease established—that is, on the curative
side—and these results are being shown by the decrease in the number of patients in our mental
hospitals since the inception of our work.
The preventive side is a problem which requires very earnest work to bring about appreciable
results. The control of the infected person, especially in our cities^ is a problem to which no
satisfactory solution has been offered, other than the hope, by education through meetings and
literature, of impressing upon the rising generation the real clangers of venereal disease. K 4 BRITISH COLUMBIA.
One striking result, as we gather from our reports, is the account given by the drug trade
of the great decrease in requests for " quack " remedies and the increase in the demand for
prophylactic packages. We take it that this is one of the best indications of advance in the
education of the public.
LABORATORIES.
The laboratories are probably the best barometer of our work, and the increase in the work
in these places us amongst the leaders on the continent; that is, for the work done on a
per capita basis.
Since the last Report we have opened another laboratory at Kelowna, making four Provincial
Laboratories, and we have requests from two other centres in the Province for similar establishments.
In the report issued by the American Public Health Association on the laboratory-work in
North America, the amount of work done in our laboratories shows that we are in the forefront
in regard to our use of these facilities.
In addition to this, we are receiving co-operation from the municipalities in a very satisfactory manner, and they are contributing a yearly grant in preference to paying for the work
as it arises from time to time. They are satisfied that the control of infectious diseases is much
more effective with the help of the laboratory and are recognizing that a yearly contribution is
a real economy.
In connection with the laboratory-work, vaccines and antitoxins are sent out free on request,
and for the year ended June 30th, 1927, the following have been furnished: 12,445 points
smallpox vaccine, 3,769,000 units diphtheria antitoxin, 40 doses diphtheria toxoid, 7 packages
Schick test for diphtheria, 2,083y2 c.c. scarlet fever antitoxin, 9 packages Dick test for scarlet
fever, 623 doses typhoid vaccine, 207,000 units tetanus antitoxin, 7 packages whooping-cough
serum, 8 packages anti-meningitis serum, 6 packages anti-streptococci serum, and 1 package
haemostatic serum.
SANITATION.
The report of our Chief Sanitary Inspector is included herewith.
Under the general head of sanitation, we are concerned with the larger problems in regard
to water-supplies, sewerage, transportation, public buildings, and more especially with the logging
and mining camps and the inspection of fruit and fish canneries. This work is carried out in
a very systematic manner and the greatly increased problem of the auto tourist is being handled
satisfactorily.
Following a severe epidemic of typhoid fever in New York, intensive work was carried on
by the United States Public Health Service in the regulation of the oyster-beds. We have
become, by arrangement, an integral part of this work and our inspection of all our oyster-beds
are accepted by the United States Public Health Service, which permits of the export of the
oysters to the United States.
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING.
I have to report a continued improvement and extension of this work. The University of
British Columbia has enlarged the scope of the work, and has so arranged the schedule that
more time will be given in the course for the actual work in the field in connection with our
existing health centres. One month of the course will be spent by the students under charge
of the Supervising Nurses in our health centres, and the nurses will take an active part in the
public-health nursing work as carried out in British Columbia.
We are very much gratified indeed to report an enlivened interest on the part of the teaching
profession, and wish to recognize the co-operation that we are receiving from the Provincial
Education Department.
It is a splendid evidence of the advance of public opinion in this question that there are
usually five or six places waiting for nurses, and, in addition, we are receiving requests from
the local School Boards that our nurses be detailed to teach health in the schools.
In a former report I mentioned that I preferred to call our nurses public-health " teachers "■
rather than public-health nurses. This idea has been kept uppermost and we are reaping the
effects during the present time.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
.   On the whole, the past year has been favourable in respect to the occurrence of infectious
diseases.    We have had two possible threatened epidemics, one of smallpox occurring in the BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT, 1926-27.
K 5
Nanaimo District and later in the season for a time it appeared as if we were in for a very
serious epidemic of poliomyelitis.
The smallpox manifested itself first in one or two cases in the sparsely settled country
districts and, being of such a mild type, unfortunately did not alarm the people. While the
usual precautions were taken and quarantine established in as far as possible, it was difficult
to persuade the people that there might arise from this a serious state of affairs. It continued
to spread through the district. Officials from the Board were sent up. Free clinics for vaccination were established which were well patronized, and almost immediately there was a subsidence
in the number of the cases.
In this connection, I would like to point out, more especially to the authorities of Greater
Vancouver, that it is a very great mistake to neglect precautions at any time in regard to
smallpox. The experience which Vancouver had in 1925-26, when it was very difficult to
persuade the authorities to take any active steps in the prevention of smallpox,, led to the
development of an epidemic which brought about a ban placed on the city by the United States
authorities. This soon convinced the business element of the necessity of something being
done, and we succeeded in vaccinating a great many people, and more especially the schoolchildren.
During the past summer season, some cases developed in the suburbs of the city and the
enforcement of the regulations as to vaccination of school-children was carried out, until a
stop was put to it by the School Board, who, under a technical interpretation of the terms of
the regulations, said that they were not lawfully permitted to spend money for vaccinating the
school-children by the school doctor in the school offices. This difficulty was met by the City
Board of Health offering to assume charge and bear the expense, but they were not allowed the
use of the school offices.
This action on the part of the School Board is very much to be regretted. The children
were accustomed to attending these offices for the regular examinations by the School Medical
Inspector and the nurses, and it was no difficulty to carry out the vaccination. Following the
action of the School Board, the City Board of Health advertised, free clinics to be established,
but they were not patronized to any extent.
During the past three weeks there has developed in the schools of South Vancouver a dozen
cases, and active measures are being taken to endeavour to nip the possibilities in the bud.
Vancouver is a seaport town, open all the year round, and in communication with all ports
in the world. The civic authorities must recognize that under present international conditions
any city in the position of Vancouver must have a clean bill of health if they expect to carry
on business.
POLIOMYELITIS.
In 1916 a severe epidemic of poliomyelitis existed in New York, over 20,000 cases with over
5,000 deaths. Previous to that, poliomyelitis had been very rare in North America, but since
then it has gradually crept over the country, and during the past year large numbers of cases
have been reported from the different States, nearly every State in the Union being affected.
In July an outbreak occurred in the neighbouring Province of Alberta, and in August cases
developed in British Columbia in the middle interior, and there were reported in all 175 casesy
but a number of these were reported in carrying out the regulations to treat suspected cases as
true cases.
The medical profession co-operated in a splendid manner with the Provincial Board of
Health, and by October the conditions were well in hand. This was followed, by the end of
the month, with a complete subsidence.
Our knowledge of poliomyelitis as to causation has been enlarged by the experimental work
which has been carried on in the laboratories, and we know that the symptoms are due to the
effects from a virus which is so minute that it has not been isolated to be examined, but in the
laboratories they have been able to transmit the disease to monkeys. There has not, however,
as yet, been brought forward a serum which would act either as a prophylactic or as a curative
measure. There has been, however, use made of the serum taken from paralytic cases and the
same procedure is carried out with this as in the treatment of measles.
Immediately following the outbreak, the medical profession was circularized and the
addresses of the patients and information as to the date of attack and the time of development of paralysis was asked for.    The medical profession co-operated in this by giving us the K 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA.
names and addresses, and a letter was sent to the parents asking for permission to obtain blood.
We have had a very good response indeed, and our laboratories are collecting serum which we
will have on hand should another outbreak occur within the next year.
A table of infectious diseases reported during the year is incorporated in this Report, and
the regional report of diseases is as follows:—
Chicken-pox.—McBride, Parksville and District, Port Essington, and Williams Lake and
District.
Influenza.—Britannia Beach, Campbell River and District, Clayoquot Sound District, Edge-
wood District, Invermere and District, Kimberley, McBride, Oliver and District, Smithers, and
Williams Lake and District.
Measles.—Ashcroft and District, Burnaby Municipality, Merritt and District, Mission, Parksville and District, Pitt Meadows Municipality, Port Simpson, Vancouver, and Williams Lake
and District.
Mumps.—Alert Bay.
Rubella (German Measles).—Burnaby Municipality, Cranbrook and District, Cumberland,
Kamloops, Kimberley, Pitt Meadows Municipality, and Point Grey  (University District).
Scarlet Fever.—Kamloops and Merritt and District.
Smallpox.—Kamloops District and Nanaimo and District.
Whooping-cough.—Cranbrook and District, Duncan and District, and Invermere and District.
Cemetery-sites approved.—New Westminster District (Jewish), Salmon Arm, Grindrod, and
Clo-oose.
Sewage-disposal Systems approved.—Point Grey (extensions), Vancouver (extensions), West
Burnaby, South Vancouver (extensions), North Vancouver City (extensions), Prince Rupert
(extensions), Powell River (extensions), and Trail (extension).
Water-supply Systems approved.—Point Grey (extensions), North Vancouver City (Rice
Lake storage system), North Vancouver District (Kennedy Lake supply and extension of main),
Vernon (extension and alterations), Sechelt (Chapman Creek supply), West Vancouver (Eagle
Lake supply), Saanich (extensions and alterations), South Vancouver (extension), Rossland
(extensions), Prince George (extensions), and Nelson (renewals).
I beg leave to ask, sir, for your consideration for increased accommodation for our Department. Our Vital Statistics Branch is showing a wonderful growth and the work has increased
over 100 per cent, in the past four years.    A full report of their activities is appended.
We a,re also appending a full report of the Medical Inspection of Schools, and I think any
one reading it will find it very interesting in the demonstration that we are able to give of the
improvements.
In asking for further accommodation, I am also asking for an increase in staff. The wrork
has grown to such proportions that the lack of a trained staff is militating against the expansion
of the Department. We can truly say that we have accomplished the main purpose of our
work—that is, educating the public—and the demands from the public for expansion of our
work are becoming insistent. I hope that you will please take under careful consideration our
request for the addition of an Epidemiologist to the staff. The question of expense should not
enter in, as he will save his salary five times over in the checking of infectious diseases and iri
the work which he can do along educational lines.
I would also like, sir, to express, for myself and staff, appreciation of the co-operation
which we receive from yourself, and I would like to take this opportunity of expressing to you
my appreciation of the splendid co-operation that I receive from the staff. The increase of our
work necessitates them working, on occasion, overtime, and a request for this is always cheerfully complied with. The fact that we have been able to make such satisfactory progress is
due to the cheerful help that I am receiving. I may say that the staff and myself appreciate
the active interest of yourself in our work—an interest that is based upon the idea of understanding the policies and the details of the Department and lending to our success your help and
encouragement.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
H. E. YOUNG, M.D.,
Provincial Health Officer. BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT, 1926-27.

8SW GENERAL REPORTS.
SANITARY INSPECTION.
Sanitary Inspector's Office,
Victoria, B.C., June 30th, 1927.
H. E. Young, M.D., CM., LL.D.,
Provincial Health Officer, Victoria, B.C.
Sir,—I have the honour to submit the Seventeenth Annual Report for the Sanitary Branch
of your Department.
With increasing population, both permanent and transient, the work of this division has
increased to such an extent that any thought of holidays has been submerged to the background.
New industries to develop our natural resources have called for more field-work along prophylactic lines. Fortunately, the general public is becoming alive to the value of good health through
sanitary precaution and a disposition to co-operate with Health Officers and Sanitary Inspectors
is far more evident than in pioneer days.
Briefly outlining my work alphabetically, I must commence with the new source of anxiety,
that of the
AUTO TOURIST CAMP.
Camps are now provided for visiting autoists by nearly all the municipalities, also as a
business by caterers to this class of tourists. These camps are under the inspection and
jurisdiction of local sanitary officers and are in the main quite satisfactory. Our greatest
concern lies with the indifferent and selfish camper that stops overnight at the first convenient
place, usually near a creek, litters the place with all kinds of refuse and insanitary filth, and
finally neglects to see that his camp-fire is entirely extinguished. It requires no stretch of
imagination to see what a twofold menace to health and property is engendered by such conduct.
In view of the increasing number of properly located and operated auto camps on all our main
roads, it is proposed that'in future no individual camping on or near roadside will be permitted.
BATHING CAMPS.
The cities have been deserted by the younger generation in their love for the sea and open
spaces. Seaside camps all over the southern portion of British Columbia have been literally
swamped, especially at week-ends, when the grown-ups make their periodical visits. One of our
largest marine transportation companies has shown vision and far-sightedness in establishing
many new camps at seaside points. These camps consist of numerous cottages with modern
conveniences, and in several camps the visitors may prefer a fully equipped hotel. At these
company-owned camps sanitation is not lost sight of, but unfortunately we have to deal with
many places used and rented by private parties where the tenants are transient, and where
nothing but the most primitive sanitary conveniences are provided, and very often the drinking-
water is of doubtful purity. These places, scattered along a coast-line of several hundred miles,
call for frequent visits and enforcement of the Sanitary Regulations. This constant vigilance,
coupled with the open-air life, is probably responsible for the freedom from all infectious or
contagious disease at our popular seaside resorts.
CANNERIES.
Our fruit and vegetable canneries, which are mostly located in the .Okanagan country, are
operated by men who are, fortunately, versed in the laws of sanitary cleanliness and take a
pride in having visitors see every part of their establishment, and co-operating at every turn
with inspecting officials.
FISH-CANNERIES.
Our fish-canneries form probably the leading food-export industry of Canada. The fact that
British Columbia canned salmon commands the highest prices in the world's largest market is
explained by the fact that in no part of the universe is the catching and canning of salmon
brought nearer the peak of perfection in sanitary and expeditious handling than in British Columbia. Every year sees new canning-machines added, so that in many of our newer canneries
the fish, is scarcely touched by human hands from the time it leaves the net until canned, cooked,
and ready for consumption. Federal Fishery Overseers are on constant patrol to ensure that
only seasonable and strictly fresh fish are used, whilst our own regulations are strictly enforced.
OYSTER-BEDS.
Another important and increasing food product coming under the jurisdiction of this
Department is oysters.
It is not generally known that an increasing export trade is being built up by our oyster-
ground operators. There are more than a score of firms operating oyster-beds on British
Columbia coastal foreshore. Many of them are exporting considerable of their products to
the United States.    Until quite recently this was accomplished without difficulty.
During the early part of this year the United States Health authorities at Washington, D.C,
formulated new regulations dealing with oysters and the oyster-growing industry. These regulations are applicable to every oyster-bed in the United States, and are also applied to oysters
exported to the United States, inasmuch as before oysters can be shipped from Canada to the
United States a certificate issued by the local Provincial Board of Health must state that the
beds are free from sewage; the buildings, containers, and implements are sanitary ; and the
operators and employees clean and free from skin, blood, or contagious disease.
Fortunately these regulations do not impede the export of oysters because every oyster-bed
in British Columbia is located far from city sewers, and the exporters are all of the type known]
as sanitary cranks and only too glad to carry out any suggestions made by your Inspector.
The oyster industry here is comparatively in its infancy, but we anticipate no difficulty in
protecting the public health from the slightest chance of ill-effect through oysters, in so far as
their culture is concerned.
The safe and proper handling of oysters after they are in the hands of retailers is now a
matter receiving the consideration of this Department.
MINING AND LOGGING CAMPS.
The mining and logging development in British Columbia is now attracting the world at
large.
The industries are largely controlled by big corporations with foresight enough to realize
the value of sanitation for employees. Nearly all the large industrial camps are now conducted
upon sanitary lines which exceed the demands of our regulations, resulting in a better class of
work and a contented people. This applies especially to such places as Britannia Mines, Ocean
Falls, Kimberley, Powell River, Woodfibre, Port Alice, and Anyox.
Our trouble, if any, is with the small individually owned camps. These are subject to
periodical visits.
NUISANCES.
Nuisance complaints this year show an increase, which can be explained as follows :—
In a district which up to a few years ago was a wilderness of isolation a firm started a
piggery on several acres. The place was conducted along fairly sanitary lines, but of recent
years adjacent acreage has been taken up, cultivated, and homes established by most desirable
newcomers. In the meantime the piggery flourishes, but the ground is becoming so saturated
with the effluent of the septic tank that, in spite of precautions, a strong nauseating odour
permeates the vicinity for half a mile distant. This is especially noticeable on evenings following
a hot day with low barometric pressure. A new sub-irrigation system is now being considered
in an effort to abate this nuisance. This is a fair example of the problems which your sanitary
officers are called upon to solve.
Another nuisance dealt with was the odour from a fertilizing and fish-oil factory adjoining
the residential part of a small city. This was abated by the owners closing down for the summer
season.    This concern established its plant without a permit from this Department.
Other nuisances arise from improper and inadequate disposal of septic-tank effluent. These
have-been dealt with.
To enumerate all the alleged nuisances wrould consume much time. Some are serious, whilst
many are petty, but all have to be investigated and corrective action taken where needed to
safeguard public health. 'JlMMlMi '

COMBINED REPORT OP TRAVELLING MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER
AND INSPECTOR OF HOSPITALS.
Provincial Board of Health,
Victoria, B.C., July 31st, 1927.
II. E. Young, M.D., CM., LL.D.,
Provincial Health Officer, Victoria, B.C.
Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith my Fourth Annual Report as Travelling Medical
Health Officer and Inspector of Hospitals for the Province.
While my work as Tuberculosis Diagnostician for the last year is very much a reduplication of the previous years, having been carried on under the same guiding principles of
co-operation with the family doctors, there has been sufficient variation to still make the work
very interesting. There has been a steady yearly increase in the number of cases examined,
more marked the last year than previously, showing added interest not only of the medical
profession, but of the public at large. The interest of the doctors is further illustrated by the
number of inquiries that have come in as to when my next visit would take place.
I mentioned in my last annual report that I believed extra clinical service in Victoria
would be justified. After endorsation of the plan by the Victoria Medical Society, a clinic has
been held here during the second week of every second month. Much of the increase in the
total examinations during the year has come from this clinical service. The Provincial Royal
Jubilee Hospital Board has very kindly provided room and nursing service as well as X-ray
service for this work. The Provincial Red Cross has very generously guaranteed the cost of
X-ray films (the Hospital only charging for films and wear and tear of machine) up to $1,500.
This amount will be ample for our needs with something left over for next year.
Through a bequest of the late David Spencer, a building is in course of construction and
nearing completion on the grounds of the Jubilee Hospital as a separate unit to be used as a
tubercular clinic. This will assure permanency and will also act as an advertisement to the
city that wTork of this nature is being done.
The occasional afternoon clinic at the Saanich Health Centre has been continued.
St. Joseph's Hospital has been equally generous in placing X-ray and other facilities at our
disposal.
The regular clinics at Nanaimo have been continued during the year with interest well
sustained. The balance of the Province has been covered from one to three times, despite the
fact that hospital inspection has taken up an increasing amount of my time.
xinother factor that has contributed this year to the increased number of cases examined
was the prevalence during the fall and winter months of many cases of influenza. Many chest
conditions were left in its wake and presented some difficulties in diagnosis. Particularly
is that to be expected when we consider that many latent cases of T.B. become reactivated
after such acute chest infections.
One of the outstanding events of the T.B. world was the meeting of the International Union
against Tuberculosis in Washington, D.C, September 29th to October 2nd, 1926, followed from
October 4th to 7th by four days' session of the National Tuberculosis Association, which included
United States of America and Canada. In fact, this meeting of the National Association was
but a continuation of the International Union. This latter only meets every two years, so it
will probably be many years before another meeting is held in America. This meeting brings
together most of the greatest minds in the world on tuberculosis-work and every phase of same is
discussed. It was my great privilege, along with nearly every Canadian tuberculosis-worker, to
attend the sessions of this congress.
As the American Hospital Association was meeting at Atlantic City the early part of the
same week that the International Congress met, by going East a little early I was able to take
in a goodly part of that programme, with much profit. To see the display of hospital equipment
alone is well worth a trip across the continent. K 14 BRITISH COLUMBIA.
DETAILS OF CLINICAL WORK.
The total number of examinations was 518, of which 40 were re-examinations, making 478
cases examined. Two hundred and forty of these I have classified as non-tubercular. Of the
balance, 238, 184 are classified as positively tubercular and 54 suspects. Of the 40 re-examinations, many of them were amongst the positive cases and were re-examined to learn of progress
of the disease. Others were re-examined in order to more definitely classify case as positive
or negative. While my work is essentially diagnostic, every year I am asked to advise more
and more as to treatment and disposal of cases.
The further classification I have confined to the positive and suspect cases, instead of all
cases examined as in previous years. Of the 238 such cases, 118 are males and 120 females.
Eighty-nine were born in British Columbia, sixty-two in the other Provinces of Canada, 54 in
British Isles, 9 in United States of America, and 24 in other countries. Considerably over half,
then, of the cases were born outside of British Columbia. Their length of residence in the Province varies from many years to two months, and while my data are not complete, quite a goodly
number have been in the Province less than two years, some coming in after being diagnosed.
THE EDUCATIONAL PART OF THE WORK.
While there has been an increase in the clinical work, the educational part has not been
neglected. Meetings have been addressed as follows : Vernon, under auspices of Women's Institute, also high-school pupils in same town; a joint meeting with Dr. Lapp in Victoria under
Tuberculous Veterans' Association auspices, with Dr. Young as chairman; also one under
AVomen's Institute of Victoria; Health Bureau, Board of Trade, Vancouver; Public Health
Nursing class, University of British Columbia; at Duncan, under Cowichan Public Health
Nursing Service; at Chemainus, under Ladies' Hospital Auxiliary; and nurses in training at
Nanaimo, Hazelton, Nelson, Cranbrook, Kelowna, and St. Joseph's, Victoria.
INDIAN SURVEY.
The Indian survey, under the joint auspices of the Federal Department of Indian Affairs
and the Canadian Tuberculosis Association, working through a Provincial Advisory Committee
of which Dr. Young is chairman, is being continued this year. Having completed the survey of
Coast Indians last year, a similar survey is being carried on amongst the Indians of the Interior.
As a representative of the Provincial Health Department, I accompanied Drs. Vrooman and
Hill on a trip of inspection through the Okanagan, Kamloops, and Nicola Valley Districts. On
this trip 359 Indians were examined, including in many cases entire families. While this
Interior survey is not complete, indications are that the incidence of tuberculosis amongst them
does not materially differ from that found last year amongst Coast Indians. The percentage of
cases found amongst Indians compared with the percentage we believe to exist amongst the
white population runs in about the same proportion as deaths amongst Indians compared with
deaths amongst whites, the latter of which will be seen in tables below.
It is often asked, "Is any progress being made in the fight against tuberculosis?" "Is it
not a fact that the deaths per 1,000 of population is practically stationary, and, in fact, is
higher in British Columbia than in any of the Provinces west of Quebec? " To answer these
questions intelligently there are certain facts that have to be taken into consideration. First
of these is that out of a total Indian population in the Dominion of 100,000 in round numbers,
British Columbia has over 25,000, or one-fourth of the total, and the death-rate amongst these
people is eight or nine times that amongst the whites. Again, we are the only Province in which
there is any considerable population of Orientals, and the death-rate amongst these is also
inordinately high. In order to show this effectually, I asked Mr. H. B. French, of the Vital
Statistics Department, to segregate these different classes for the last five years. The tables
below set out the results very clearly. It also demonstrates very clearly that amongst the
white population during that period there has been a very steady and appreciable decrease in
the percentage of tubercular deaths, and leaving out Indians and Orientals, which does not
materially affect other Provinces, we have a condition here that we have reason to be proud
of. This result is attained without taking into consideration the fact that many people, both
civilian and ex-service, come to the Province on account of our climate when overtaken with
poor health. BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT, 1926-27.

HOSPITAL INSPECTION.
As Hospital Inspector, I have inspected twenty-seven public hospitals and thirteen private
hospitals, reports on most of these being made directly to the Provincial Secretary's Department.
I visited two towns where the question of establishment of hospitals was being considered,
as well as other special investigations.
I attended one Hospital Society meeting, at which the elective board was reduced from
fifteen to five members, the annual fee cut from ,$5 to $2, and a by-law passed making it illegal
for directors to have contracts with hospital boards. I met with eight hospital boards and,
where full meetings could not be arranged, have met with some member or members of the
executive in twenty cases.
I attended sessions of the Provincial Hospitals Association, also, as mentioned before, the
American Hospital Association at Atlantic City, and in May the meeting of the Hospital Section
of the Pacific North-west Division of the American College of Surgeons at Seattle.
There has been great activity throughout the year in planning and completing hospital
extensions, including infectious-disease departments, nurses' homes, etc. These extensions were
always associated with a request for special grant from the Government and universally received
favourable consideration.
I have received many expressions of appreciation of the action of the Government in
planning extensions at Tranquille. The extra accommodation for tuberculosis provided at the
General Hospital, Vancouver, did much to relieve the overcrowding temporarily, as did also
the opening of Vernon Villa by St. Joseph's Hospital, Victoria, but the addition is still needed
to avoid overcrowding permanently.
The 1925 amendment to the " Hospital Act " has done much to assist the hospitals financially, and I believe it has worked no hardship on municipalities, being very fair to them.
Most of the hospitals outside of the larger centres are still working on a flat rate, rather than
the 70 cents per day per patient.
There have been no cases during the year referred to Arbitration Board for decision, which
would seem to bear out the opinion expressed above that provisions of Act are fairly satisfactory.
In closing, I would like to express my appreciation of the cordial co-operation and valuable
advice I have received from you on all occasions; also to the doctors, nurses, and lay organizations throughout the Province; to Miss Randal, of the Graduate Nurses' Association, I extend
my sincere thanks.
I have, etc.,
A. S. Lamb, M.D.,
Travelling Medical Health Officer and Hospital Inspector. REPORT ON MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS.
Provincial Board of Health,
Victoria, B.C., November 30th, 1927.
The Honourable William Sloan,
Provincial Secretary, Victoria, B.C.
Sir,—Herewith I beg leave to hand you the Sixteenth Annual Report of the Medical Inspection of Schools for the Province of British Columbia.
The work of our Department as a whole is making very satisfactory progress, and we have
been pleased to call your attention to the advances in respect to the different departments, but
I feel that, in reporting as to the work of the medical inspection of the schools, we can show
more real advance and more accomplishment, with the result of greater interest being taken by
the parents and public in general, than in any other department.
Our Nursing Service is increasing and the number of nurses at present connected with our
work is upwards of forty, a remarkable increase in the past five years, when we began with
one nurse. The soundness of our policy in the establishment of the Nursing Service is borne
out by the results as shown in the schools. We are now busy coping with the requests that are
coming in for extension of our Service, and it is becoming less and less incumbent upon us to
make an effort to induce the people to consider our Service. The improvement of the general
health of the children; the improvement in their class-work; the curing of a large number of
defects ; the institution of dental clinics ; the carrying-on of classes in health ; and the teaching
of health habits to the children;  all have been making remarkable progress.
In my general article on the progress of the Department I have mentioned more particularly
the inclusion of our nurses as teachers of health in the schools. This has been done at the
request of the trustees, and on their own initiative, and is, I consider, a most significant
procedure on their part as indicating their greater knowledge of the subject and their observation
of the results which have been obtained so far.
We have increased the number of our dental clinics and have applications from several other
points for the establishment of the dental work.
The most significant change is the increasing control we have over epidemic diseases.
During last summer we had several meetings of the School Medical Officers and Medical Health
Officers, and have formulated new regulations in regard to the management of the schools in
the event of any infectious disease showing, that are working a very great benefit in regard
to the control of such epidemics, but particularly in preventing interruption of school-work.
We found that, when children were excluded or the home was quarantined, it was difficult
to enforce, as many of these pupils were very anxious to receive the honour roll for perfect
attendance from the Education Department. This led to children returning too early, with
consequent spread of the disease and also injury to themselves from the fact that they had not
recovered sufficient strength to return. Parents and children alike were anxious that they should
get the honour roll, and no allowance was made by the Education Department for being absent
on account of quarantine. Representation was made to Dr. Willis, the Superintendent of
Education, and he very kindly consented to make such arrangements and has written us a
letter, which I append :—
" British Columbia Department op Education.
" Office of the Superintendent,
Victoria, B.C., August 18th, 1927.
" Dr. H. E. Young,
Provincial Health Officer, Victoria, B.C.
" Dear De. Young,—In reply to your letter of the 12th instant, I may say that this
Department is pleased to approve of your suggestion that honour rolls be granted to every
pupil who is absent through illness or quarantine, for one or more days in any year, provided
2 K IS BRITISH COLUMBIA.
the actual number of days he is in attendance in the year, increased by the number of days he
is absent through illness or quarantine, equals or exceeds the total days' attendance made by
the pupil of the school, or class, with the best showing in the matter of punctuality and regularity, and provided also he secures a statement from a School Nurse, Public Health Nurse,
School Health Inspector, or other physician, certifying that absence from school was due to
illness or quarantine.
" Yours very truly,
"(Sgd.)    S. J. Willis,
Superintendent of Education."
Last year I had the pleasure of publishing a report made by Dr. Maxwell, Medical Inspector
of Schools for Ladysmith, and I am very pleased indeed to supplement that report with a later
report which he has given me for the present year. You will note his comment in this of the
effect, owing to some local difficulties, of cessation of the dental clinic. The result of this
backward step became very noticeable and the clinic is being resumed at that point.
I wish to congratulate Dr. Maxwell on the splendid work which he is doing in connection
with the schools.
" Ladysmith, B.C., July 9th, 1927.
" The Board of School Trustees,
Ladysmith, B.C.
" Dear Sirs,—In presenting to you my fourth report on the examination of the schools, I am
glad to say that the satisfactory condition which existed last year is again maintained.
" Public School.
" Malnutrition,—Last year there were 28 underweight; this year there are only 23. This
can, I think, be attributed to the special instruction given by Miss Hewertson and the interest
taken by the children in watching their weight.
" The other day I met three little children coming out of school and I asked them if they
had been having exams. They said, ' Yes.' I said, ' What marks did you get? ' One said,
' I was 72 and last time I was only 68! I have gained 4 lb.! ' and her face was radiant. The
other two were equally pleased and all were obviously more enthusiastic over their physical
than their mental development.
" Defective Vision.—This refers to those cases which have not been corrected by glasses.
Last year there were 17;  this year only 9.
" Adenoids and Tonsils.—Grouping the two together, there were 136 cases last year and this
year there are only 52. Very soon there will be no children in Ladysmith with enlarged adenoids
and unhealthy tonsils.
" Defective Teeth.—Last year there were 67 children with defective teeth; this year there
are 173.    Of these, 93 are cases where the primary teeth only are affected.
" I think it is most instructive that in 1925 there were 153 cases of defective teeth; then in
1926 there was a dental clinic and at the time of my examination there were only 67 cases of
defect.    The dental clinic was stopped and this year there are 173.
" I feel sure that, if a satisfactory arrangement can be made, the starting again of a dental
clinic will not only make a material difference to these figures, but will be greatly to the advantage of pupils and parents alike.
" Goitre.—There has been a great improvement in this condition since last year, when there
were 31 cases of enlarged thyroid. This year there are only 2 bad cases, 8 slight, and 14 very
slight.
" There were no cases of any infectious or contagious disease.
" I would like again to draw the attention of the trustees to our health report.
" My annual health report to the Provincial Health Officer commences on July 1st and ends
on June 30th. During the last period there was only one case of an infectious disease, coming
under the ' Infectious Diseases Act,' and that was a case of erysipelas. This indeed constitutes
a record and beats last year's previous record.
" This year we had, as you know, a mild epidemic of smallpox in the vicinity. We were
fortunate in only having two cases in Ladysmith. " High School.
" The only comment on this school which is of interest is again the subject of teeth. Last
year there were 52 children with perfect teeth and 16 with defective teeth. This year there are
only 47 with perfect teeth and 20 with defective teeth.
" Yours, faithfully,
"(Sgd.)     H. B. Maxwell,
Health Inspector."
QUEEN ALEXANDRA SOLARIUM.
Last year we published the first report issued by the Solarium, which explained fully the
objects of the institution.    The patients had not been received at the time of this report.
I am very pleased indeed to publish the following report of Dr. Cyril AVace, Medical Superintendent, of the progress that has been made since patients have been admitted.
The work carried on there is in the very best of hands. Dr. Wace has given up all other
work to assume the office of Physician in Charge, and under his able management the results are
just what we expected and a description of the work as carried on follows.
The following is a full report of the Solarium :—
" H. E. Young, M.D., CM., LL.D.,
Provincial Health Officer, Victoria, B.C.
" Dear Sir,—A year ago you very kindly asked me to send you a report on the progress we
wyere making in the establishment of the Queen Alexandra Solarium for Crippled Children at
Malahat Beach, V.I.
" This year I am glad to be able to inform you that the Solarium has been in active operation
since March 1st, on which date the first children were admitted for treatment. Sixty-six
children have been under treatment and there are to-day (November 30th) thirty-eight patients
in the Solarium. Two more will shortly be admitted and twenty-three further application forms
for admission have been, received.
" We can accommodate forty children through the winter and about forty-five in the summer.
" In the annual report which will be submitted to the directors of the Solarium early next
year full details of the cases treated will be given. I will, therefore, now only touch on some
of the more general and important aspects of this work.
" The value of the Solarium in the treatment of the delicate or pre-tubercular child has
been amply proved ; fifteen such cases have been or are now under treatment and the results
in every case have been most satisfactory.
" Nearly one-half of our patients are suffering from tubercular or other infection of bones,
joints, spine, or lymph glands, and some of these are of years' standing. Thirteen are cases of
old o*r recent infantile paralysis or anterior poliomyelitis.
" The outstanding feature of many of these cases (forty-one in all) is the marked deformity
that is present, and while this may be very difficult to avoid in certain cases of arthritis or
tubercular disease, it cannot be too often emphasized that, although partial or complete paralysis
of a limb or limbs or group of muscles is often inevitable, physical deformity need not occur in
cases of infantile paralysis. Such deformities are due either to the activity of unaffected muscle
groups in the limb overstretching the partially paralysed and unsupported groups, or to the
effect of body-weight on a partially or completely paralysed limb which is not sufficiently braced
in the correct alignment of the body as a whole.
" We have had only two cases of congenital deformity in the sixty-six admitted, which bears
out the statement that ' the cripple is made, not born.'
" I would call attention to the great value of the regular daily school which is held in the
Solarium for all children, wdiether ambulant or bed cases.
" It is to me increasingly evident that we must in time develop a scheme of technical training
in some trade or handicraft for those boys and girls who can never be physically fit for the K 20 BRITISH COLUMBIA.
ordinary routine and work of life. This is the more necessary in view of the marked bodily
deformities and extensive paralysis of limbs we are seeing amongst our patients. Our accommodation does not allow of our admitting boys over 12 and girls over 14 years of age; several
applications for admission of older children and adults have been received.
" Applications for admission have been received from Alberta and Saskatchewan, and I am
more than ever of the opinion that the site of the Solarium and climatic conditions at Malahat
Beach offer great opportunities in the restoration of health for children from our Prairie and
Eastern Provinces.
" Our definition of a crippled child does not refer only to the child with a physical deformity,
but includes any child of suitable age whose ' normal physical activities ' are restricted by
illness, accident, or from birth. Chronic cardiac disease in childhood benefits markedly by the
prolonged rest and open-air life at a Solarium.
" Thanks to the generous support the Solarium has received, it has been possible to increase
our facilities for treatment by the construction of a large sea-water bathing-pool and the
installation of the most modern type of violet-ray lamp.
" I wish to call attention to the following points in the organization of our work:—
" No child suffering from tubercular disease of the lungs can be admitted. No mentally
defective child or one suffering from fits can be admitted. Acute cases of illness or children
requiring operation are not accepted; such cases are better in our general hospitals, but as
soon as the convalescent stage is reached the Solarium is an ideal place for the after-care and
treatment.
" No child is admitted except at the request of the doctor in charge of the case, and the
Medical Superintendent will at all times welcome the advice and co-operation of the family
physician.
" Our consulting medical and surgical staff are always most willing to help us with their
experience and advice.
" The general health of the children has shown great improvement and a considerable gain
in weight has been a marked feature in almost all cases.
" I have already referred to the great need of a thorough scheme of technical training for the
physically disabled and incurable child to establish him in helpful and remunerative work and
save him from a lifetime of dependence on others. No work for the crippled child can be
complete or satisfactory that does not recognize an ideal which may be summed up in the
words ' get him early and see him through.'
" I have, etc.,
"C. Wace,
Secretary and Medical Superintendent, Queen Alexandra
Solarium."
This is the first report which shows results, and it will, I know, be very pleasing to the
members of the Women's Institutes to read this and to find that their efforts are bringing health
and happiness to many children who, without this, would have been condemned to a lifelong
misery. They are being brought back to that heritage that belongs to all children—health, the
right and ability to work—making a marked contrast to the dreary outlook of a helpless cripple,
with all hope of enjoyment in life absolutely denied.
OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS.
" Preventive measures " is the key-note of all our work in connection with the children, and
this is being carried on through different agencies, and the results obtained in the open-air
schools, which are under the management of Miss Elizabeth Breeze, Head School Nurse of the
Vancouver schools, are demonstrating the benefits of the application of natural methods in
correcting defects.
Last year we published the first report of the open-air schools as carried on in Vancouver,
and I am very pleased to supplement that by a report which we have received from Miss Breeze
for the work during the past year. Miss Breeze says in her covering note to us that " they do
feel that the school is highly beneficial to the pupils and good results are being secured." " Open-air School, Vancouver, B.C.
" The open-air school has now been in operation for a year and a half, and we feel it has
passed the experimental stage and that the results obtained demonstrate very tellingly its value
to the school system and the community. As the number that can be cared for in the school is
small, our policy is to return the children to the regular class-rooms as soon as their improved
condition warrants it, thus giving opportunity to others. With this in view, all the pupils were
given a complete physical examination at the beginning of the year, with the result that twenty-
two, almost one-third of the school, were recommended for return to the regular class-room.
In addition to these, ten pupils left the city and one entered high school. These vacancies were
filled from the children on the waiting-list and thus we started the year with about 50 per cent,
new pupils.
" The pupils are selected by the School Medical Officer and are children found to be in poor
physical condition, severely run down, undernourished, and generally debilitated. No open case
of tuberculosis is permitted in the school, though contacts are received. In order that children
have every chance, all remediable defects receive treatment before pupils are enrolled; thus all
possible handicaps are removed and thejT are free to gain.
" The school programme has been followed as originally planned, with a few slight variations.
The mid-morning and mid-afternoon nourishment, the hot meal at noon, the supervised rest-hours,
the organized play and special physical exercises, and the effort made to secure good home
co-operation have all done their part in contributing to the results secured. Special emphasis is
placed on health education and its application to daily life. This we feel is most essential if
our work is to carry over into adult life.
" During the year eighty-nine children attended the school. The following indicates the
nationalities from which they were drawn : English, 45 ; Scotch, 13; Irish, 3 ; Canadian, 23;
Italian, 1;   Swedish, 1;  Polish, 1;  French, 1;  American, 1.
" Only two pupils showed a loss of weight during the year.    One of these had a heart
condition and had been in the school a short time when the report was made.    The other child
also was in for so short a time that we felt a fair trial was not made.
" The following is the term report:—
Number of pupils      89
Diagnosis—
Malnutrition     41
Ansemia      17
Enlarged glands        1
Family case        5

Largest gain  (lb.)          18%
Largest loss  (lb.)         2%
Number physically benefited      89
" Our enthusiasm for our open-air school is still great and we feel that it is doing the work
for which it was planned and, though small, is giving to many a chance for a healthy, happy life
which would otherwise probably be denied them."
The reports of the school medical examination show that there were 8,232 more pupils
examined than last year.
Details of the examination for each school follow.

BIRTHS.
The total number of living births in the Province, including Indians, for the year 1926 was
10,063, as against 10,342 for the year 1925, giving a rate of 17.7 per 1,000 population, as against
18.4 in the year 1925.
That all the births that occur in the Province are not registered as required by the " Vital
Statistics Act" is evident from the very large number of delayed registrations which continue
to be submitted to the Department from year to year. K 68

TUBERCULOSIS.
According to the census of 1921, 20.1 per cent, of the total Indian, 59.5 per cent, of the total
Chinese, and 94.5 per cent, of the total Japanese population of the whole Dominion were located
in the Province of British Columbia.   An analysis of the returns of deaths from tuberculosis
shows that in the year 1926 these three races alone accounted for 232 deaths out of 532, or 44.6
per cent, of all deaths from tuberculosis in the Province.    That the high rate of deaths from
tuberculosis among these three races has a marked effect on the rate for the whole Province
is evidenced by the following:—
