NOOK WORM 11127
*r
PER CENT OF CHILDREM
In Schools Show Evidences ol
Ine Disease.
Atlanta, April 8.— The state
Board of Health is preparing a map
with a view to showing the dis
tribution of the hook worm and
hook worm cases in the state, and
according to all reports it will be
something in the nature cf a re
velation.
This map is being prepared by
Dr. A. G. Fort, director of field
sanitation of the board and hook
worm expert, and it will show that
hookworm is pretty well distri-
butecMn 127 of 146 counties in the
state. In some of them it appears
in less profusion than in others, but
in everyone of these counties there
is a considerable number of cases.
As an example of the prevalence
of the disease, Dr. Fort has recently
received quite full reports from
Webster, Stewart and Tift counties,
indicating that a large percentage
of the school children in each of
these counties is afflicted.
Out of 400 white and 934 colored
pupils examined in Stewart county,
185 whites and 303 negroes were
suspected of having the disease.
Examinations of a test nature were
made in 189 cases and 140 or 74.6
per cent, were found to be affected
with hook worm.
In Webster county, out of 595
school children, 170 white and 196
colored suspects were found. In
Tift, 192 suspects were found out
of 1,550 white school children
and out of 56 cases in which tests
were made, 33 were found to have
the disease well developed. In one
negro school 86 out of 126 pupils
were found afflicted.
Only in these three counties so
far have the state BoarcJ of Health
and the Rockefeller commission
co-operated with the county au-
thorites with a view to stamping
out the disease. The situation in
other counties has been determined
wholly through examinations made
by officials of the state Board of
Health upon its own initiative and
at its own expense.
Other counties in the state, how
ever, have made application to the
board asking for assistance in mak
ing examinations to dertermine the
extent of the disease, with a view
to taking steps'for its eradication.
New Equipment for
A. C. L. Railroad
The A. C. L. Railroad Company
has purchased the following list of
additional equipment, and which
will be delivered during the coming
summer:
15 pacific type passenger engines.
20 large freight engines.
25 passenger coaches.
’ 4 Combination mail and express
cars
1400 box cars.
50 phosphate cars.
50 Balhist cars.
20 caboose cars.
This will place the Atlantic Coast
Line in position to meet the de
mands of the traveling and shipping
public.
This large order of freight equip
ment, taken in connection with the
extensive double tracking and bridge
work going on at various points on
the line, indicates that the Atlantic
Coast Line proposes to keep in the
front ranks of Southern Railways.
Four cases of glanders were found
in Telfair county but the State vet
erinarian says with proper precau
tions being taken the disease can be
easily stampoti out. .
