REPORT OF DISTRICT HEALTH OFFICER
To the Voters of the Town of Brighton, Vt .:
In rendering this, my annual report, I wish to call your attention to the following :
1. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
No epidemic occurred in the town during the year 1921, only a few scattered cases of contagious disease appearing.
2. MILK LICENSES
During the year 1921 twenty-one milk licenses were is- sued.
3 INSPECTION OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS
During the past year your schools were inspected and in some cases changes or improvements ordered. No changes were ordered unless absolutely necessary. It is the policy un- der the new system to have a gradual improvement of all schools rather than a sudden radical change. Your rural schools have already began to show improvement.
4. MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SCHOOL CHILDREN. '
During the past year all the children in the schools of the town were carefully examined for physical defects with the following results :
Total number of children examined - 272. Number of children with defects - 168. Total number of defects - 222.
Defects classified as follows :
Teeth 147; Throat 60; Vision 11; Hearing 3; Thyroid Enlargment 1.
Respectfully submitted, VICTOR P. GENGE, M. D., District Health Officer, Sanitary District, No. 3, St. Johnsbury, Vt.
