The Act of 1893 greatly increased the status of the State Board of Health, which reacted with renewed activity. A well-equipped office was established in Raleigh for the Secretary who was given an annual salary of $1,000. When Dr. Thomas F. Wood of Wilmington, the founder and first secretary of the State Board of Health, died on August 22, 1892, Dr. Lewis was elected to succeed him. Since the State Board of Health's annual appropriation up to 1907 was never more than $2000, the Board could not afford an office of its own, and most of its work was carried on in his office. The Act of the General Assembly of 1909 providing for the employment of a State Health Officer for his whole time made it necessary for Dr. Richard H. Lewis, the father of the bill, to culminate 17 years of patriotic devotion to the health of the people of North Carolina. At a called meeting of the Board of Health on March 30, 1909, he explained the amended law, stating that he could not afford to surrender his practice and was therefore tendering his resignation. The Board, after insist- ing in vain for the withdrawal of the resignation, reluctantly accepted it. Dr. Watson Smith Rankin of Wake Forest was elected to succeed him on July 1, 1909, at a salary of $3,000 per year. The annual appropriation of the Board was increased from $4000 to $10,500 in 1909. The General Assembly of 191 1 created County Boards of Health to take the place of the Sanitary Committees. The new legislation in 1911 enabled the State Board of Health to increase the circulation of the Bulletin from 11,- 500 to 20,000 copies per month. The Genera! Assembly of 1913 also amended several sections of the exist- ing health laws and raised the annual appropriation of the Board from $22,- 500 to $40,500 annually. In 1916 the monthly circulation of the Health Bulletin reached 51,000. Early in 1923, Dr. W. S. Rankin was invited by the "Committee of Municipal Health Department Practices" of the American Public Health Association to become Field Director in making a study of municipal health procedures. The Executive Committee of the State Board of Health granted the Secre- tary a year's leave of absence, and on November 1, Dr. Rankin assumed his duties and established official head- quarters in New York City. He con- tinued 1924. this work until November 1, A number of changes were made in 1923 in the organization of the State Board of Health as well as in its personnel. On March 1, Dr. Cooper made Assistant Secretary and became official head of the staff. If it had not been for his almost total deafness, he undoubted- ly would have been selected to succeed Dr. Ranklin when the latter resigned a short time later. At the Conjoint Session of the State Board of Health and State Medical So- ciety held in Pinehurst on April 29, 1925, Dr. Rankin announced his resignation as State Health Officer, effective June 1, to accept directorship of the Hospital and Orphan Division of the newly created Duke Endowment. On May 30, at the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board, Dr. G. M. Cooper was unanimously made Assist- ant Secretary for an indefinite period of time. During his public health career. Dr. Rankin had been President of the Am- erican Public Health Association; Trus- tee of the American Hospital Associa- tion; first Chairman of the Charlotte Board of Health; Member of the North Carolina Medical Care Commission; Trustee of Wake Forest College; and he received honorary degrees from Duke University, University of North Caro- 8 THE HEALTH BULLETIN May, 1967
