Excerpt from Health Science Library of the University of North Carolina
This July issue of the Health Bulletin covers in the most practical manner the largest single factor that is impeding the progress of health work in North Carolina and that confronts her citizens today - the disposal of human excreta.
Realizing this fact and being willing to meet, like true men should, their responsibility, the last General Assembly passed an act requiring every home within three hundred yards of another home to have an improved type of privy that the State Board of Health would approve. The questions immediately arise, "What type will the State Board of Health approve, and what type shall I install?" This Bulletin answers both questions. The information set forth in this Bulletin is not influenced by a prejudice against nor preference for any particular type of privy, but each type is dealt with in detail and both the advantages and disadvantages, together with the comparative costs given, as each particular type warrants.
The substance of this Bulletin was not compiled until an exhaustive study of the various types of privies in use in the various sections of the country had been made. Each type was studied not from its theoretical application alone, but in actual use as well.
We present this Bulletin as the most complete study that has yet been made public relative to the practical application of the various types of privies now in use.
The technical matter in this Bulletin was prepared by H. E. Miller, C.E., Director of the Bureau of Engineering and Inspection of the State Board of Health, and past assistant surgeon K. E. Miller of the United States Public Health Service.
