Excerpt from Twentieth (Tenth Biennial) Report of the State Board of Health of the State of Vermont: From January 1, 1914, to December 31, 1915

While funds are not available for the addition of new de partments of work, there has been a marked amplification of those lines already established, and, in many ways, Vermont holds a high position among the public health organizations of the country. This perhaps is best shown by a survey of State Boards of Health of the country made by Dr. Chas. V. Chapin of Providence, R. I., under the auspices of the Council on Public Health of the American Medical Association. During the year 1914, Dr. Chapin visited every State Board of Health in the United States. His visit to Vermont was in the month of July at which time he spent two days with the Secretary, in quiring minutely into all departments of work and securing figures and data for comparison with other Boards. His pub lished report,_ which is now available, contains among other in formation, a rating sheet in which each State Board is scored' on the basis of points covering all' the lines of work carried on by all the Boards. The highest rating of any state was that of Massachusetts which scored 745 points. Vermont received the second highest score in New England, attaining 486 points, and among all the State Boards of the country, we stood ninth, all the states rating higher than Vermont being both large and wealthy. It is also permissible to say that since this rating was made in the summer of 1914, our methods and results have been so much improved that a revised rating would, without doubt, place us still higher m the score.
