PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA THIRTIETH REPORT OF THE PROVINCIAL BOARD OF HEALTH INCLUDING FIFTEENTH REPORT OF MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS, YEAR ENDED JUNE 30TH, 1926, AND THE FIFTY-FOURTH REPORT OF VITAL STATISTICS DEPARTMENT, BEING A SUMMARY REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1925 PRINTED BY AUTHORITY OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. VICTORIA, B.C. : Printed by Chahi.es F. Banfield, Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty. 1926. Provincial Board of Health, Victoria, B.C., June 30th, 1926. To His Honour Robert Randolph Bruce, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of British Columbia. May it please Your Honour: The undersigned has the honour to present the Report of the Provincial Board of Health for the year ended June 30th, 1926. WILLIAM SLOAN, Provincial Secretary. REPORT of the PROVINCIAL BOARD OF HEALTH. Provincial Boabd of Health, Victoria, B.C., June 30th, 1926. The Honourable William, Sloan, Provincial Secretary, Victoria, B.C. Sib,—I have the honour to submit the Thirtieth Annual Report of the Provincial Board of Health. Public health is quite as important as any branch of work conducted by the State. It influences fundamentally social and economic life. Its benefits extend to all and are not limited to those of any class or age. Its aim is to prevent disease, to improve environment, and to protect and conserve life and health. The Provincial Board of Health has concern in human affairs not only from the cradle to the grave, but its work and records extend from prenatal life to. the writing of mortuary statistics. Conditions favourable for the enjoyment of good health are the right of all our people, and it becomes the duty of the State to provide safeguards against preventable disease and to contribute its share towards maintaining for its citizens the highest physical efficiency. If it supports this policy it will contribute much to the comfort, well-being, and happiness of all. Recognizing the above as the fundamentals of the policy of the Provincial Board of Health, we are confronted with the task of convincing the public that to carry out to a fruition the purposes of the Board we must secure their co-operation. We must acknowledge there is much to be attained and there still remains, as we all realize, a tremendous task to be performed. The progress that is marked from year to year is not spectacular. We appreciate the fact that progress in getting across to the people a knowledge of the fundamental principles of hygiene is slow, yet by comparison with previous stages we are able to demonstrate that progress is being made. And while it is difficult to describe this progress in a material way by fixing a financial value, which is the usual way of marking progress in human events, yet we know from continued contact with different organizations, with representatives of the medical profession, and with results obtained through Government agencies that the public mind is being slowly and surely influenced to the value of the work of the Provincial and Municipal Boards of Health. There is an awakening of a very satisfactory proportion of the people to the importance of health-work and to its possibilities. Not in a theoretical direction, but as demonstrated by actual accomplishment. We are endeavouring to demonstrate by actual accomplishment the fact that we are alive to the duty of the State in providing conditions favourable for the enjoyment of good health. In .order to bring about such results we have to take into account the introduction of means for prevention of disease and also to safeguard the environment of the people in order that their surroundings will not militate against the good effects following adoption of means for prevention. We are gradually extending our work along these lines and I have to report improvement, and more particularly so in regard to the attitude of the voluntary organizations. The co-operation which we are receiving in the different phases of our work is such as to convince us that the loaf has been leavened, and suggestions made by the Board of Health in regard to means to be adopted are being accepted and given effect to. We attribute the progress made in this respect very largely to the establishment of oifr Public Health Nursing Service. In our two former reports we published full reports from leading health centres and we have to report a continued increase to the extension of our work. We have now twenty-six nurses in the field, not counting our school nurses in the larger centres. The interest that the nursing profession at large is showing in this work, as evidenced by the inquiries at the University in regard to the Public Health Nursing Course, is, we consider, a distinct step in advance. Nurses are realizing that there is being created a market for their services and a market that stands with the Government as an organization behind it, and that M 6 British Columbia. 1926 is becoming understood and more and more endorsed by the general public. This change of opinion, that is shown by the interest taken by the nurses in the work, has been largely brought about by the influence of those nurses who during the past five years have been taking the course at the University, of whom many have remained in British Columbia and are filling our positions not only with the Public Health Nursing Service, but with the Victorian Order. The difficulties incidental to the establishment of such a service are being overcome, the scope of the work is being enlarged, and as the development proceeds the nurses are unconsciously learning that real success can only be obtained by utilizing every avenue of approach toward the formation of a curriculum, the object of which is the establishment of " health habits." In other words, they are learning that a better balance in health services can be maintained by generalization than by specialization, and it is the realization of this that is doing more to put the work across with the general public than where the public-health work is divided into specialties, with a nurse in each. The generalization of the service, as evidenced by the work in the home, brings directly to the people the real meaning of public hygiene. The medical examination of our school-children which has been in force in British Columbia for the past twelve years was the first step in an endeavour to reach the home. Primarily instituted for the benefit of the children, yet it was only after the adoption of the follow-up work by the Public Health Nurse that the real effect of the legislation is being accomplished, and the people are being taught, and are rapidly learning, that the number of defects which are being reported by us annually as being discovered in the scholars do not originate in the schools, but that the trouble begins in the pre-school age, and our Public Health Nursing Service is based on the pre-natal and pre-school work. Complete records are kept of the child for the pre-school period and then during its school-life these records are continued. So that when a child leaves school, in each district where there is a nurse, there is a complete record of the mental and physical condition. In the future such statistics will be of inestimable value to the scholar when he is seeking employment and in many other ways. We believe that we have adopted in British Columbia a very sound policy in regard to the placing of the nurses. This policy is that the work will be developed by local support through taxation, and in order to assist this an amendment was made to the Education Act whereby the appointment of the nurse is placed on the same basis as the appointment of the teacher to the school staff. The grant from the Government towards the salary of the nurse is the same as to the teacher, being $580 a year, the balance being made up by taxes enforced through the School Board. They are truly teachers and we prefer to call them public-health teachers rather than public-health nurses. We have not as yet been obliged to remove a nurse from any district, but we have been hard put to it at times to find nurses to increase staffs in districts where the nurses are established. The dental department of the Public Health Nursing Service has proved eminently satisfactory. We give a grant for the first thorough examination of all pupils in the district, and then the services of the dentist are obtained to begin the actual work. The dentist, as regards Government assistance, comes under the same category as the Public Health Nurse, receiving the same grant and the balance is made up by the local School Board. We have found, however, that, after the work is established and a large number of the cases found have been attended to, the work becomes self-supporting. Parents are supposed to pay full fees if they can, or part fees. Indigents receive the treatment free through the grant, but the fees received together with the grant make this work self-supporting. The Provincial Board wishes to thank the Dental Association for the hearty co-operation we have received in this respect. I will refer briefly to the different branches of the Department. Infectious Diseases. Last year we were under the necessity of reporting a severe criticism on British Columbia by the enactment of a ban against our chief commercial city, Vancouver, on account of smallpox. We dealt with this in our last report in regard to the support which we had received from the various civic bodies and business firms, and were under the necessity of expressing, probably freely, our opinion of the lack of co-operation which we had received. There was an entire lack of realization of the seriousness of the action of the United States, and unfortunately the chief effort on the part of most of the organizations and business-men was to try and hide the fact that we were suffering from a condition that approached a serious epidemic. Portable Camp. Duncan Bay. -$v* 4 m | South-east Kootenay. Camp In winter. 17 Geo. 5 Board of Health. M 7 In the face of very active propaganda in Vancouver and the capital city of Victoria, we succeeded in securing the vaccination of 60 per cent, of the school-children. This, with the large number of people who had been vaccinated during the war, and also those who realized that vaccination was a full preventive of smallpox, has placed us in a very good position, and we are pleased to report that this year there have been only 98 cases, against 1,014 last year. Owing to outbreaks in Los Angeles and Seattle of epidemics of a very virulent type of smallpox, we were extremely anxious for a time at the beginning of the summer that conditions might arise similar to those existing last year. However, owing to the immediate action taken by the United States authorities at both these places and the splendid co-operation of the business interests, the epidemics were speedily stamped out. After the raising of the ban by the United States there was a remarkable change in public opinion, especially amongst the business interests. They realized in terms of money what the ban had meant, and they went to the other extreme and asked that the Provincial Board of Health would enact regulations that would prevent the employment of anybody unless they were vaccinated. We recognized that this would have been impossible to carry out, but previous to the raising of the ban we had taken up with the large mining interests in British Columbia the necessity of them insisting upon their employees being vaccinated. We met with a ready and favourable response. Following this, we approached the officials of the Canadian Pacific Railway and pointed out that their employees were probably more exposed than any other branch of business from the fact that they were in constant touch with the public, and they were in greater danger of being carriers of disease than others. After considerable correspondence and consultation on the part of the company with their legal advisers, they finally agreed, and instructed their heads of departments that " before being accepted for service, any applicant desiring to enter the service in an employment which brings him or her into direct contact with the travelling public must either undergo vaccination or produce a certificate of successful vaccination within the preceding twelve months." Immediately on receipt of this the matter was laid before the Manager of Western Lines of the Canadian National Railway, and an immediate response was received in which the General Manager said that he wished to advise Us that we might expect similar co-operation from his company in the matter and enclosed us copy of a general order which had been sent out to the heads of departments. We think that this has been one of the greatest advances that we have made along the lines of preventing disease. .The fact that these two large companies, the largest employers of labour in Canada, have made this ruling will be an argument hard to answer when other employers are approached. 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.—Coalmont and New Denver District. Influenza.—Ashcroft, Creston and District, and Williams Lake and District. Measles.—Burnaby Municipality, Edgewood District, Kimberley, Nelson, and Trail. Mumps.—Greenwood and District, New Denver District, MeBride, Pitt Meadows Municipality, Smithers and District, and Trail. Smallp ox.—Wynndel. Typhoid.—Wycliffe. Whooping-cough.—Agassiz, Creston, New Denver District, and Courtenay District. Tuberculosis. We are making good progress in the continuation of our campaign against tuberculosis. A full report from our Tuberculosis Officer is appended, and it will be seen from perusal of this report that the Government of British Columbia is very much alive to existing conditions, and is adopting satisfactory means to meet the present conditions. Venereal Clinics. The results that we have obtained from our work in the venereal clinics, which are in their sixth year, have been most gratifying. It is difficult to check improvements in such affairs unless we have some specific body to deal with, and such we have, in this case, in our Mental Hospital. We did not anticipate being able to note any change in regard, to the cases at our Mental Hospital for at least ten years, or probably fifteen years. When we began, we had made a careful survey of our large Mental Hospital and found that, at a very low estimate and counting only cases of acquired disease, there were 10 per cent, affected. This did not take into account any congenital cases as we wished to be on the safe side. The report issued 'by the Mental Hospital for the past year refers to the marked change in the percentage of cases of acquired syphilis during the year. The Superintendent places the number at 5 per cent, as against 10 per cent., and attributes the change to the work that is being done in our clinics. This is definite information, and when you consider the cost of the upkeep of the eases in the Asylum and the economic loss of these people to the community, and also the great expense that is entailed by the support of their dependents, we have made a large saving to the taxpayers at the small cost of maintaining the clinics. In addition, as I mentioned in my last report, the drug trade report that the sale of patent remedies for these cases is rapidly reaching the zero point, but also point out that there is a great increase in the sale of remedies that may be used for prophylaxis. Laboratories. The best barometer of the increase in our work is the increase in the work of our laboratories. We have now five laboratories and are proceeding with the amalgamation of the Laboratory at our Sanatorium with the Laboratory in the adjacent city of Kamloops, in order to promote a greater opportunity for research-work and to increase laboratory facilities for the Interior of the Provfhce. We are receiving co-operation from the municipalities, who are recognizing that the work is being carried out in such a systematic manner and with lower cost to themselves, and also that they are appreciating the results. They are manifesting their co-operation by helping us in every way, and particularly in increasing the amounts of their grants. In connection with the laboratory-work, vaccines and antitoxins are sent out free on request, and for the year ended June 30th, 1926, the following have been furnished: 7,560 points smallpox vaccine, 3,935,000 units diphtheria antitoxin, 10 packages diphtheria toxin antitoxin, 9 packages Schick test for diphtheria, 70 packages 10 cc. scarlet fever antitoxin, 74 packages 2% cc. scarlet fever antitoxin, 29 packages Dick test for scarlet fever, 344 doses typhoid vaccine, 80,000 units tetanus antitoxin, and 4 packages anti-strep, serum. Sanitation. The report from our Sanitary Inspector will give a very good general idea of the scope of the work which is being carried on by the Department. We have in British Columbia a State, body of police known as the Provincial Police, each member of which has been appointed as Sanitary Inspector in his district, and the success that we are having in dealing with our lumber and mining camps and canneries, especially in the outlying districts where such operations are away from the municipalities and organized bodies, has been remarkable, and I would like in passing to pay a sincere tribute to the very efficient manner in which the police have carried on their duties, the courteous way in which they have dealt with the people, the thoroughness of their enforcement of the Sanitary Regulations, and not only the splendid results they have obtained, but particularly the respect which they have earned for their competence amongst the people. Owing to our climatic conditions our people are an outdoor people, and for thousands of miles along our sea-coast there are unlimited numbers of places suitable for camping and for summer resorts, and these places are being taken full advantage of. This, of course, brings us face to face with the sanitation of these points, and I would recommend again to the Honourable the Provincial Secretary that the Provincial Board of Health receive the fullest co-operation of the Government in regard to the definite policy which we have laid down and which will enable us to control the situation. Not only is our own population concerned, but, with the enormous increase of the motor traffic owing to the scenic attractions of our Province and also with the opening-up of new roads in order to facilitate such traffic, new problems are arising every day. The majority of the people are controlled, as sufficient facilities are furnished, but there is a certain percentage who are very difficult to deal with as they bring their tents and Mountain Camp, 3,000 feet elevation, Goliath Bay, Jervis Inlet. Mining Camp, 4,750 feet elevation, Slocan. 17 Geo. 5 Board op Health. M 9 make roadside camps. There is the danger from the insanitary condition which arises and also from forest fires. Our problems in this respect do not differ from those of the States to the south of us, but there is an accord between the health authorities on the Pacific Coast to bring about uniformity of action and we feel that we are improving greatly in this respect. In carrying out the work we are pleased and honoured to again express our thanks to the women's organizations of British Columbia. The Women's Institutes, which are probably the strongest and with the largest membership, are making health-work their main object and are doing magnificent work in supporting the Provincial Board of Health. We have under way the establishment of a Solarium for crippled children. When we determined upon the establishment of the Solarium we determined to make it a public institution organized by and supported by the people. The Women's Institutes immediately took charge and have raised sufficient money to build the 'first unit, which will be opened during the present season by Sir Henry Gauvain, who has done such magnificent work in the treatment of children by heliotherapy (sunshine). I take great pleasure in publishing a full report of the work as carried out to date, and I think that in reading this you will agree that the Women's Institutes of British Columbia are building a monument commensurate with their intentions of making the home and child the great object of their work. I referred to this in my report last year, and a comparison of the work done for the Solarium at that time with what we are aible to report this year will show that the Women's Institutes certainly can accomplish large undertakings when they give effect to the co-operation of effort which is so markedly one of their chief attributes. If you will refer to the Report on Medical Inspection of Schools you will find a full report furnished me by Dr. Wace, the Honorary Secretary of the Queen Alexandra Solarium, descriptive of the whole project. Cemetery-sites approved.—Burnaby (Ocean View Cemetery extension), Colwood, Houston, Point Grey (Sacred Heart Convent), Victoria (new Christ Church Cathedral), Kent Municipality (Odd Fellows), Alert Bay (United Church), Clo-ooser and Westbank. Sewage-disposal Systems approved.—Vancouver (extension), Trail (extension), South Vancouver (extension), North Burnaby, Port Haney, North Vancouver City (extensions), Lytton Indian Industrial School, and Point Grey (extensions). Water-supply Systems approved.—New Westminster (alteration), Salmon Arm (extension), Merritt (alteration), Port Moody (extension), South Vancouver (extension), Nelson (5-Mile Creek supply), Britannia Beach (Daisy and Thistle Creeks supply), Burna'by (extensions and improvements), Trail (extension), and Armstrong (reconstruction and repair). 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 full report of their activities is appended. We are 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. We have a large and growing work, and while it entails many demands upon us, yet we feel that we are making very good progress, and I must attribute the fact that we are able to carry on so well to the splendid co-operation on the part of my staff. No request is neglected and overtime work is given cheerfully. I have great satisfaction in reporting the great interest they take in their work. It is a pleasure to carry on with them. I would also like, sir, to express, for myself and staff, appreciation of the co-operation which we receive from yourself. It is very encouraging indeed to find our head evincing such an active interest in our work, not perfunctorily, but always with an idea of understanding the policies and 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., CM., Provincial Health Officer.

SANITARY INSPECTION. Sanitary Inspector's Office, Victoria, B.C., June 30th, 1926. H. E. Young, M.D., CM., LL.D., Provincial Health Officer, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit my Sixteenth Annual Report of the work undertaken by this branch of your Department during the year just closed. Briefly outlining our work alphabetically, I must commence with the auto tourist camper. The visiting auto tourist is rapidly becoming a source of anxiety to Health Officers outside the cities. The invasion by a few hundred has now jumped to thousands, with no sign of diminishment. The establishment of many properly equipped auto tourist camps in the populated districts is helpful, but the serious problem for Police-Sanitary Officers throughout the vast unorganized territory of British Columbia is how best to deal with the selfish and careless auto tourists who camp at the most convenient place without sanction or leave, and make a stay of a few hours or days without proper sanitary conveniences and very often without sufficient caution with their camp-fires. Canneries. The food canning and preserving establishments of British Columbia now number over 200 and are increasing with an ever-ready market awaiting their products, which rank amongst the highest in the world markets for purity and flavour. It may here be stated that there is absolutely no chemical or artificial means employed in the production of British Columbia's canned food. Our regulations governing these establishments demand purity and freshness of good's, with strictly clean handling and sanitary surroundings. The canneries are subject to frequent inspection, and it may be said with pleasure that every canneryman welcomes and co-operates with the Inspector to bring about the desired cleanliness and sanitation. Before concluding with canneries it might be mentioned that dealing with the immense schools of pilchard which invade the waters of the west coast of Vancouver Island for several months in the year, some sixteen plants involving millions in dollars have recently been established, giving employment to a large number of our people and promising a rich dividend to the operators. Every part of the fish is used fresh from the ocean. Oil and meal are the result, with an eager market awaiting in the Orient and Europe. At this writing thousands of tons of pilchard products are being exported. The process of extracting oil and meal from pilchards is brought about by mechanical cookers and extractors. The industry is in its infancy and to the visitor the smell is an abomination and nearly every plant can be detected miles away by the odour. It should be remembered, however, that these plants are located upon the isolated west coast where nearly all of the inhabitants are more or less employed in fish establishments and become immune to the smell. In the meantime the pilchard operators are spending thousands to eliminate all smell and waste through chemical and centrifugal means. In one or two cases pleasing results have been obtained, which are being noted preparatory to the framing of such regulations governing the pilchard industry from a sanitary or nuisance standpoint. Logging and Mining Camps. The logging and mining development has reached such proportions as to overshadow all other industries in British Columbia. The camps employ from a score to thousands per camp. The Kimberley Mining Camp is one of the marvels of the age, and, besides being a good producer in dividends, its owners are far- sighted enough to spend money and thought to produce a contented, healthy, and happy people Oceanic Cannery, Northern Coast.

M 13 around its vast workings. Nothing but the best modern plumbing is permitted on its properties, either for industrial or housing. A modern hospital, two highly trained physicians, staff of nurses, welfare officers, and ample provision for recreation and amusement are provided. I am not citing Kimberley as our best camp, but simply to show the trend of our successful operators in recognizing the value of healthy surroundings and outlook for the physical and mental welfare of their employees. Britannia, Anyox, Trail, Powell Biver, Ocean Falls, and Woodfibre are all examples of the value of industrial peace through the mediumship of co-operative welfare- work. Some of the British Columbia logging camps are built on the community basis, with large bunk-houses accommodating 100 to 200 men. Others prefer the small individual two-men shack. The dining-rooms are all large and well ventilated and the food is the best procurable. In starting new logging camps, operators are often so anxious to get their camp close to the timber that they overlook fresh water and drainage facilities. With the larger companies the tendency is to provide portable camp buildings which may be moved from time to time on railway-trucks. These camps are well kept and sickness is rare. Virgin country and open-air employment is no doubt an important contributing factor. The matter of camp inspection along the coast-line of British Columbia is not an easy one. In former days they were located on or near the foreshore, but as the best coast-line timber is being removed, camps are now located many miles back, near to or in the virgin forest, which often entails a long climb for the inspecting official. One very promising mining camp on the northern part of Vancouver Island is only 14 miles from tide-water, yet with its elevation and trails through the forest means a day's travel. Seaside Summer Camps. This year seems to be a banner year for those of our younger generation who are able to vacate the cities for recreation or rest at many seaside resorts. Ideal climatic conditions and generally good sanitary arrangements are mainly responsible for a season without any reported infections or other sickness. Ninety per cent, of these resorts are outside incorporated limits and are thus directly under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Board of Health. These camps are visited frequently and health notices posted in conspicuous places. Watersheds. The Sanitary Regulations provided especially for watersheds are undoubtedly responsible for the absence of water-borne diseases in British Columbia. The regulations are being enforced not only by the municipalities affected, but by this branch of your Department. Applications are being considered for the extension of these regulations to embrace further territory where there exists any possibility of contamination. Nuisances. The abatement of nuisances throughout the year is probably the most arduous work of this office and covers such a scope that to enumerate would entail too much ink and time. Some are extremely petty and others most serious, and each must be dealt with, carefully. The deciding factor is, of course, the safeguarding of public health. As an example, one good citizen in the Upper Country complains about a neighbour's chickens and probably the same day we are informed of another man's expensively constructed well being polluted by a broken sewer-pipe. If variety is the spice of life, we are surely getting the spice. It is gratifying to note the improved toilet and sanitary devices being adopted by steamship and railway lines, also by those responsible for hotels and public stations. Soap dispensers, sanitary towels, deoderizers, and disinfectants ensure to a marked degree the comfort and safety of the travelling public. I could not conclude without remarking on the extreme courtesy and help extended to me by municipal and Provincial officers whilst on duty in their respective districts. I have, etc., F. DeGrey, , Chief Sanitary Inspector. M 14 British Columbia. 1926 COMBINED REPORT OF TRAVELLING MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER AND INSPECTOR OF HOSPITALS. Provincial Board of Health, Victoria, B.C., June 30th, 1926. H. E. Young, M.D., CM., LL.D., Provincial Health Officer, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith my Third Annual Report as Travelling Health Officer and Inspector of Hospitals for the Province. The work as Travelling Medical Health Officer has been carried on in much the same manner as in the former two years; that is, by notifying the doctors by mail in advance of my intended visit, and seeing cases only as referred to me by the family physician. The district and school nurses were also notified at this time and were encouraged to make arrangements for any cases to come to me in the same way. When this was not practicable I examined the cases and if any trouble was found a report was sent to the family doctor. A clinic was held at the Vernon Public School, at which parents were encouraged to accompany their children. This was arranged by the school nurse and advantage was taken of the opportunity to give a short talk to the parents on the method of prevention of tuberculosis, particular emphasis being given to the care of the undernourished child. The clinics held in Nanaimo on the first week of every third month, and which were started last year, have been continued this year with increasing interest on the part of the doctors and citizens. The X-ray facilities furnished by the Hospital Committee of the Western Fuel Company and operated by the Drs. Hall were liberally used at very small expense to the patients. Several afternoon clinics have been held at the Saanich Health Centre, as was done last year on my visits to Victoria, these cases being brought in by the district nurses in charge of that institution. Because of the increasing number of cases referred to me by the medical profession of Victoria, I have felt that there was an opportunity here for the establishment of a clinic at regular intervals, as in Nanaimo. This has been endorsed by the Victoria Medical Society, and at the present time there is a prospect of a building being constructed in connection with the Royal Jubilee Hospital for this purpose. The Hospital Board and the Executive have kindly offered the use of the X-ray facilities, including technician and nurses, providing some arrangement be made for reimbursing them for the films used. The local Bed Cross Society has generously offered to take care of this expense for one year, so I feel that the prospects of arranging this clinic in the near future are very good indeed. Owing to my additional work as Hospital Inspector, and other matters which will be referred to later, I have not covered all the ground of previous years. That part still to be visited includes the district along the Canadian National Railway from Prince Rupert eastward. The larger centres, however, have been covered twice and in many instances three times. In spite of the fact that the area covered was not so extensive, you will see by comparing this report with those of the two previous years that there has been an appreciable increase in the number of cases examined of all classes of cases. In all, there have been 426 examinations on 390 persons (36 being re-examinations), and of these 198 were males and 192 females. Of these 390, I have classed 155 as being positively tubercular, 66 as suspects, and 169 as non- tubercular. Of the latter, 22 were contacts; that is, persons examined because of being in more or less intimate contact with open tubercular cases. As in former years, the .positive cases included every variety of case from the early to the far advanced. I was asked to advise not only as to diagnosis, but also as to disposal and future treatment. Among those classed as non-tubercular were a large number of cases which we speak of as suffering from mixed infection—basal chest conditions with moist rales and cough—but which without confirmation through positive sputum we are not justified in classing as tubercular. This type of case seems to be on the increase during the past few years. The suspects include many children of school age, referred on account of undernourishment or debilitated condition, and would include some of those classed as contacts. These are the 17 Geo. 5 cases which could best be taken care of in a preventorium, at least where home surroundings are not of the best. In classifying these cases as to nationality, 125 were born in British Columbia, 115 in other parts of Canada, 105 in the British Isles, 15 in the United States, and the remainder belonging to other nationalities. The Educational Part of This Work. While the number of meetings held was much less than last year, sixteen in all, we were able to reach some important bodies—namely, nurses in training; Public Health Nursing class of the University of British Columbia; high-school pupils; C.G.I.T.'s; health section of the Board of Trade of Vancouver; Public Health Nursing Council of Nanaimo, which was one of our best meetings; Victoria Medical Society; Women's Institutes ; and the Tubercular Veterans' Association of Victoria. The last-mentioned meeting, at which Dr. Young was chairman, was well attended and was also addressed by Dr. Baillie and Dr. Wace. In addition to the above, I accepted an invitation and gave an address before the Anti- Tuberculosis Society of the State of Washington in convention at Bellingham, giving an outline of what was being done in British Columbia to combat tuberculosis. Indian Survey. An outstanding feature in the campaign against tuberculosis is the survey that has been carried on during the summer among the Pacific Coast Indians. This has been conducted 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. The investigation was carried on in three sections—one at Bella Bella, one at Alert Bay, and the third among the canneries at the mouth of the Skeena—and covered in all something in excess of 700 Indians. As a representative of the Provincial Health Department, I accompanied Drs. Hill and Vrooman and assisted in the physical and X-ray examinations of cases at the two latter places in order to get first-hand information as to actual conditions among the people. A report on this will be published later. Hospital Inspection. As Hospital Inspector, a position conferred on me the first of the year, I have inspected some forty-six public hospitals, as well as twenty-five private institutions. I felt that, in addition to inspecting the buildings as to sanitation, fire hazard, and numerous other things, I also should meet with Hospital Boards at their regular meetings if possible, but, if not, at meetings called for that purpose. There have been nineteen such meetings; where full Board meetings could not be obtained a meeting of the executive or a committee from the Board was held, making-twenty additional meetings. New hospitals have been opened at Trail and Greenwood, the former a model of all the latest in equipment and conveniences. The unique part, however, is the heating and ventilation arrangements. Air is delivered to all parts of the hospital after being washed and heated or cooled to the desired temperature. Nanaimo has a new hospital in course of construction. The Campbell River Hospital has reopened, as well as that at Smithers. Many additions and improvements have been made to others. To my mind a very important change is the improved attitude of Hospital Boards towards tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. Several hospitals have made some provision for such cases, notably the new units at St. Joseph's, Victoria, and the Royal Columbian, New Westminster, for tuberculosis; while others have under advisement changes to meet the situation. In spite of all these and the proposed addition at the Vancouver General Hospital, the demand for Sanatorium accommodation is and will be greater than our present facilities. So much is this the case that complaints of lack of accommodation are not confined to the medical profession, but extend to lay organizations as well. In co-operation with Mr. Baird, Inspector of Municipalities, we met as a Board of Arbitration under the amendments to the " Hospital Act" on March 1st in Victoria; at this meeting representations from both hospitals and municipalities were made to us re liability for certain cases admitted to hospitals. Many minor decisions have been made by us from time to time, and it is a matter of satisfaction to both, I think, that we were always able to come to unanimous decisions. To the doctors and the nurses throughout the Province, as well as to the different organizations that have assisted in carrying on our educational propaganda, I wish to express my hearty appreciation of their helpful suggestions and their hearty co-operation.

Provincial Board of Health, Victoria, B.C., June 30th, 1926. The Honourable William, Sloan, Provincial Secretary, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—Herewith I beg to hand you the Fifteenth Annual Report of the Medical Inspection of Schools for the Province of British Columbia. Probably the most interesting part of our Annual Report is the appended report of the results of the medical examinations of the school-children. We are- constantly in receipt of requests for copies of the report, and we are informed that at many meetings the subject-matter of the report on the local school is taken up and discussions take place on what should be done in regard to the existing defects. On the face of it there are a very great number of defects, but we must remember that there is a very large school population being added each year, and the principal number of defects are found in the entering class. The opportunities that are being given to the parents to have these corrected are being taken advantage of, but while this is being done, yet the continual access of new cases with defects would make it appear as if very little change is taking place. In regard to the pre-school age, this period of the child-life has always been neglected, but the people are beginning to realize that what we report to them in regard to prevention of these defects would in a large measure secure a better result for the entering class than if they are allowed to go on without attention until an examination is made after they enter the school, and our Public Health Nursing work is so guided as to begin the work on the child immediately after birth. For two years they are carefully watched and then they enter into the second group, which we call the pre-school age. Through our baby clinics the defects which are beginning are pointed out to the mother, advice is given, and then they are urged to consult their family physician in order that these defects may be corrected. This is being done more and more, and, as is pointed out in another portion of our Annual Report, we have established and are carrying out a plan whereby there will be a record of the child's life from the time it is born until it graduates from school. The medical men of the Province are not alive to the possibilities of this work as they might be, but those who are doing the work of examination of the pupils are showing that the real worth of the work is being more appreciated by them, and consequently they are devoting a greater attention to bringing about improved results. It is gratifying to receive reports from our medical officers which evince this change of mind, and I beg leave to print a report which I have received from Dr. Maxwell, of Ladysmith, The doctor has been very much interested in his work and I wish all medical men could have the opportunity of reading his report. " The Board of School Trustees, Ladysmith, B.C. " Deab Sirs,—I beg herewith to tender my third report on the examination of the Central and High Schools. " I am glad indeed to say that the great improvement, noticeable last year, in the conditions which existed when I made my first examination have been well maintained, and the general condition of the schools is quite excellent and, I venture to say, far ahead of most schools of the same size. " I believe the number of pupils examined by me is in excess of the number at present enrolled. This is accounted for by the fact that several have left after the examination was made. "Defective Vision.—With regard to this, out of 17 with defective vision 10 have been corrected with glasses, so that only 7 remain who should have their eyes attended to. The parents of all of these have been notified, and I trust that before the next report all these will have suitable glasses. 2 M 18 British Columbia. 1926 " Enlarged Tonsils.—The proportion of enlarged tonsils at first sight seems about the same as last year; but of the 69 cases in the public school with enlarged tonsils, in only 39 cases is operation advised at present. This is a very great improvement on last year, and I have not heard of any case that we have operated on being anything but better for the operation. " Defective Teeth.—With regard to this there is a very remarkable improvement. Last year there were in the public school 153 cases needing dental treatment. This year there are only 67! " I have begun this year to mark the cards as regards ' teeth ' either A, B, or C. A means perfect teeth; B means one or more teeth needing attention; and C those cases in which the teeth are distinctly bad. "Under this classification I am glad to report that in the public schools there were 115 pupils with perfect teeth; and in the High Schools 52 out of 84 pupils examined, which is remarkable. " In the public school there were 47 who came under the B classification and only 20 under C. " There can be no other explanation of this very remarkable improvement than in the work that has been done in the dental clinic, as far as it has gone, aided by the education given by the school nurse. " With regard to the nurse, I feel sure that the trustees, as well as the general public, have come to realize what a great benefit she is to the public in general and the school-children in particular. I only hope that the difficulties which have arisen with regard to the dental clinic may soon be overcome and that by next year this great improvement in the teeth may be emulated. " Goitre.—You will notice that last year there were only 13 cases of goitre reported in the public schools, whereas this year the figures are reversed and there are now 31. This is not so bad as at first sight it appears. Last year I did not pay particular attention to this and I may have missed a few, whereas this year I have made a note on each card, either ' Yes ' or ' No,' as to whether or not there was any suspicion of an enlargement of the thyroid gland, and in a great majority of these 31 cases the enlargement is so slight as not to be noticeable. I intend, with the help of Dr. Young, Provincial Health Officer, to give all these children regular doses of iodine next year, under the direct supervision of the nurse, seeing them regularly myself, and I hope that in the next report there will be a great improvement in this respect. " Scabies.—Last year there were no cases of this at the time of my examination, but it is a thing which is always cropping up, and frequently the nurse is sending me cases to see whether or not it is scabies. Two of these cases were absent from school on account of it and were examined by me at my office. The third case was a very mild case which had just made its appearance and was very quickly cured. However, this is a very remarkable improvement in the condition in which I found the school at the time of my first examination. " There was no other instance of any communicable disease. " This can in no other way be accounted for than by the systematic examinations of the school nurse, and it must be a very great comfort to the parents to know that they can safely send their children to school without fear of them bringing home anything objectionable in the way of skin-diseases or parasites. " Although it does not directly concern the school trustees, I would like them to know that we have just completed the best year on record as regards infectious diseases. " The only infectious disease which amounts to anything that we have had during the last twelve months is a mild epidemic of whooping-cough. This would undoubtedly have been much worse had it not been for the co-operation which I received not only from the school nurse, but also from the teachers, whom I met and explained to them the early symptoms of the disease, and on the first sign of these the child in question, and all other members of the family who had not had the whooping-cough, were kept away from school till the infection was over. Of the other infectious diseases we have had one case of scarlet fever, three of chicken-pox, and one each of diphtheria and measles, so that from my point of view I consider that we have had a most satisfactory school-year. " Yours faithfully, " (Sgd.) H. B. Maxwell, Medical Inspector." 17 Geo. 5 Board of Health. M 19 QUEEN ALEXANDRA SOLARIUM. The following is a full report regarding the Solarium and of the progress made to date. It is evidence of what the Women's Institutes can do when they are in accord with a suggestion for the care of our children who are innocent sufferers. The Queen Alexandra Solarium for Crippled Children, Malahat Beach, V.I., B.C. (Initiated by the Women's Institutes of British Columbia.) Incorporation. Incorporated in British Columbia as a Society for the " Care and Cure" of Crippled Children. Management. Managed by a Board of twelve Directors. Objects. The Solarium is not a hospital in the sense in which this is usually understood. No cases of acute illness or cases requiring operation will be admitted. Prolonged Treatment. The Solarium is for children requiring prolonged treatment by physiotherapy, splints, and heliotherapy, in its widest application. It will not, therefore, overlap the work of existing hospitals, but will receive all cases, other than actual cases of tubercular lung-disease, requiring long treatment and convalescence. The term " crippled child " includes children crippled by cardiac or other diseases, in whom the acute stage is passed and prolonged care can establish cure or marked alleviation. All Deformities if a Reasonable Prospect of Cure or Alleviation. Tubercular diseases of bones, joints, spine, glands, skin. Deformities, whether congenital or acquired; e.g., infantile paralysis, spastic paralysis. Time-limit. No limit of time will be placed on the period of treatment. Education. From the day of entry special educational facilities will be regarded as essential and as part of the treatment of the child. Handicrafts (when Funds permit). Where alleviation only is possible and some muscular weakness and deformity must exist for all time, systematic and prolonged training in a useful and profitable trade or handicraft will be given to fit the child to take its place in the world as far as possible. Age-limit for Admission H Years. Subject to the advice of the medical advisers, the Director may admit children over 14 years of age. Mental Deficients. No child suffering from a definite degree of mental deficiency or subject to " fits " will be admitted. Prevention of Illness in Childhood. This, one of the most important aspects of this work, will be carried out at the Solarium. The " tubercular child," the " delicate child," even if there is no clinical evidence of organic- disease, will be eligible for admission, and will be under treatment until such time as the pathological tendency is eradicated. Hospitals of British Columbia. British Columbia has most up-to-date hospitals and competent orthopaedic surgeons; it is the fixed intention of the Directors of the Solarium to encourage the use of existing hospitals, M 20 British Columbia. 1926 and the services of the surgeons of those hospitals, as is now the case. They will only accept children after medical examination, preferably by the parents' own doctor, and after all necessary operations have been performed. Treatment of Children in City Hospitals. The prolonged treatment of children in city hospitals and in the presence Of acute illness, operations, and death is harmful alike to the mental and physical well-being of a child. All experience has proved the benefit of the quiet country and seaside life for the delicate or crippled child. The period of treatment is shortened; the expense of treatment is markedly diminished. It is unnecessary to do more than mention the great progress in the treatment of disease that is taking place all over the world by the use of sunshine, fresh air, sea-bathing, and artificial violet-ray lamps. Site of the Solarium. The Queen Alexandra Solarium is situated 30 miles from Victoria on the main Island Highway, 4% miles from Cobble Hill Station on the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway. There is easy access, therefore, to Victoria, all Island points, and from the Mainland via Vancouver and Nanaimo (2% hours by boat). Acreage. Six and a half acres of land have been bought and adjoining land is available for purchase. Cost. Cost of land with small house, $5,788.20. Climate. Average Rainfall.—27 to 28 inches. South End of Vancouver Island. Average " Bright" Sunshine.—2,157 hours average for nine years. In 1925, 2,262 hours, or over six hours of bright sunshine for every day in year. Average Temperatures.—Average summer, 60° ; average winter, 40°. Cost of Building. Main structure $22,400 00 Less paid 4,036 00 $18,364 00 Heating, lighting, and plumbing 8,000 00 Water-supply 3,000 00 Furnishing 2,606 00 $31,970 OO Estimated funds in hand 26,467 00 Estimated expenditure to fully equip $ 5,503 00 Cost of Maintenance. Impossible to estimate exactly. Allowing thirty children and necessary staff in Solarium and office, cost per bed should be less than $2.50 a day. Of this, under British Columbia " Hospital Act" $1 should be Government grant per bed per day on average. It is estimated that the sum of $250 will endow a bed for one year. Comparison of Above Figures with Similar Institutions. Saskatchewan Junior Red Cross Hospital, per bed per day, $1.35, 12 beds. Daughters of Empire, Preventorium, Toronto, 102 beds, including cases under 4 years, $2.20 per bed per day. Alberta Junior Red Cross Hospital, 35 to 40 beds, $1.61 per bed per day. Average of above, $1.72 per bed per day. 17 Geo. 5 Board of Health. M 21 'Number of Crippled Children in Western Canada. Provincial Medical Officer of Health, B.C.—" The data from the hospitals, with my general knowledge, enables me to say without any hesitation that a 50-bed hospital would be full in a very short time." Dr. H. P. H. Calloway, Winnipeg.—" The general public has a very inadequate conception of the immense number of these cases which exist in Western Canada." Dr. Harvey L. Jackes, Regina, Sask.—" Total number of crippled children in the true sense of the word would be about 1,000. Of these, about half would be indigent cases. At the present time the municipalities only spend money on urgent cases. Last year the Red Cross spent money on 92 of these cases." Examination of 907 children in schools in section of Vancouver area showed 30 per cent, were 10 per cent, or more underweight. Medical Officer of the School Trustees, Vancouver, reported, in 1924, 93 cases of crippled children attending the schools. Recently 70O questionnaires were sent out; 112 replies were received, reporting 116 cases of crippled children and 267 suffering from malnutrition. It is not the intention of the Directors of the Queen Alexandra Solarium to restrict the benefits of the Solarium to British Columbia children. The first unit built will be primarily for British Columbia, but it is hoped that in time further units will be added by the three Western Provinces. The site already bought will accommodate three units of 32 beds each. The statement is frequently made 'that there is equal sunshine in many parts of the Western Provinces of Canada; this is true, but it is not sufficiently realized that the value of the sun is enormously increased by exposure of the whole body naked to gentle currents of air, as well as by sea-bathing. The climates of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba will, either from great cold, strong winds, and great heat, preclude the systematic use of this important adjunct of treatment. Dr. C. Wace, Hon. Secretary. OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS. Miss Elizabeth Breeze, Head School Nurse, Vancouver Schools, has kindly furnished us with a report of the results of the establishent of open-air schools in Vancouver. The results obtained are a splendid demonstration of the application of natural methods in correcting defects. This work is also a demonstration of what can and "will be done at the Solarium on a larger scale. With such agencies at work we have not only shown what can be done for the children, but have provided an incentive for continued efforts on the part of our organizations. " Open-air School, Vancouver, B.C. " On February 3rd, 1926, the first open-air school in Vancouver, and I believe in British Columbia, was opened with accommodation for seventy-two pupils. " For several years previously an open-air class has been held at the Rotary clinic, and the excellent results secured in this class demonstrated very definitely the value of such treatment. " The completion of the addition to the Charles Dickens School obviated the necessity of using a group of buildings known as ' the annex' for regular classes and made them available for this purpose. The site was well adapted for an open-air school, being high and dry, with trees and grass, and adjacent to a car-line. The buildings were well constructed and, with necessary alterations, capable of being converted into a satisfactory school of this type. Large windows, with a southern exposure, that can be fully opened, were arranged in all class-rooms. Verandahs for use during the rest periods, also a kitchen and dining-room, were added. There are three class-rooms, each accommodating twenty-four children. Each child has his own locker, in which the blanket coat and blanket for use during the rest period and on cool days are kept. Cots for use during the rest period are also supplied. " A hot nourishing meal is served at noon. The menus are arranged by the Household Economics Department, always with the special need of the children in mind. At 10 a.m. and at 3.30 p.m. each child is given a half-pint 'bottle of milk, which is served with individual straws and much enjoyed. M 22 British Columbia. 1926 " All children are weighed once a week and the school nurse is in daily attendance. Special charts are kept for each child. " All play periods are supervised and the play organized. Special breathing and posture exercises are also arranged. "One of the big problems of this school is securing good home co-operation, which is so necessary in building up the health of the child. The school nurse is in touch with every home, and every effort is made to interest and instruct the parents in the habits essential to health and to rouse in them an appreciation of the necessity of sufficient sleep, fresh air, and properly selected food. " Only pupils recommended by the School Medical Officer are admitted to the school, and no pupil may be transferred out of the school without his approval. " The pupils chosen are those found to be most in need of special treatment by reason of definite exposure to infection of tuberculosis, though not showing actual symptoms; those very much underweight and not showing sufficient gain; those showing choreiform movements or having extreme chronic enlargement of cervical or mediastinal glands; cases of asthma, chronic bronchitis, anaemia, etc. No open case of tuberculosis is admitted. " The beneficial effect of the treatment was apparent from the very first week, and was shown by the remarkable gains in weight, improvement in colour, vigour, and intellectual capacity. The children are happy and enjoy being in the school. " The school has attracted a good deal of attention and we have had many more applications for admission than we are able to accept. These have come from parents and medical men not only in Vancouver, but in the surrounding municipalities as well. " Many of the children in this school are among the brightest of our pupils, and through the special treatment and care given in this school we hope to establish them in health, and so give to the community healthy, useful citizens.
