Abstract:
Public health services diminished during the Great Depression and efforts to revive the program were revived in the late 1930s. The state's Department of Health was established in 1879 to cover the public's health needs from clinics to monitoring quality of drinking water. Mr. Alexander reviewed the state of the Department of Health in 1936 and evaluated its presence in the state's one hundred counties.
