technique for improving village life has had an
important influence on the health authorities of
other countries where similar conditions exist.
In Hungary an extension of the building of
the State Hygienic Institute in Budapest was
made possible by Rockefeller Foundation financial
help. The new rooms completed late in 193S
are occupied by the Division of Chemistry and
the Division of General Hygiene. Excellent
teaching activities are carried on in this institute.
The School of Nursing connected with it
is now filled to capacity, owing to the increased
demand for public health nurses. At the beginning
of the year three groups of students attended
this school, the total number being
seventy-seven. The increasing number of students
necessitated
the extension of teaching
facilities for those engaged in practical training
in rural health work. Several health districts
scattered throughout the country are used as the
training fields for the students. Out of a large
number of applicants, twenty-four physicians
were admitted to the course given for public
health officers from January to September, and
all finished the course and were graduated.
The establishment of a cooperative health center
in the Ambelokipi district of Athens was the
most important project initiated in Greece during
1935 by The Rockefeller Foundation. This
