The secretary is assisted in the work of the department by a deputy and cleven clerks. A bacteriological laboratory is maintained by the state board of health. in charge. of a bacteriologist and his assistant.
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 may appoint state medical inspectors to investigate any local condition affecting the public health. Act No. 119, P. A. 1911, provides for the reporting to this board by physicians of occupational diseases.

The same provision makes it the duty of the state board of health to approve text-book physiologies used in Michigan schools regarding their text on dangerous communicable diseases. In compliance with this requirement the board issues a special pamphlet, "Teachers' Manual," and forwards a copy of the same to every school superintendent and teacher in the state.
