dollars. The secretary is assisted in the work of the department by a deputy and ten clerks.
The function of the state board of health is the supervision of the health and life of the citizens of the state. It is assisted in this work by some sixteen hundred local boards of health-one of which is located in each township, village, and city in the state. By the co-operation of these local boards, it aims at the suppression and ex- clusion from the state of the dangerous communicable diseases. To this end, it inves- tigates the origin and spread of epidemics of these diseases; and constantly assists the local officers in preventing such outbreaks, or of confining them at least within the nar- rowest limits. It also investigates all public nuisances reported to it, which are re- garded as a menace to the public health; and recommends the course to be pursued in abating the same.
The state board of health conducts the embalmers' examinations, as provided by law, and issues licenses to all successful candidates. In connection with the state board of corrections and charities, it examines all plans for public buildings authorized by the legislature to be erected or enlarged. It publishes and distributes widely, cir- culars of instruction to local officers and to the general public, for the restriction and prevention of diseases.
The law provides that there shall be taught in every public school in Michigan the principal modes by which the dangerous communicable diseases are spread, and the best methods for their restriction and prevention. The same provision makes it the duty of the state board of health to supply data for such instruction. In compliance with this requirement the board issues a special pamphlet, "Teachers' Edition," and forwards a copy of the same to every school superintendent and teacher in the state.
In addition to the pamphlets already mentioned, the board publishes a quarterly, "Public Health." This is the official organ of the board, issued for the general dissem- ination of sanitary knowledge. The board likewise publishes an annual report. All publications are for free distribution to the citizens of the state .- Compiled laws, 1897, §§ 4397-4407, Am. P. A. 1905, Act 18.
