3. The scheme for the training of schoolmasters
in Berar sanctioned previously has continued during
the triennium. The results have been somewhat diverse
in the various districts, and there is an increasing
measure of doubt as to whether it is wise to entrust to
this agency work that is so entirely foreign to their
ordinary duties. The Yeotmal District Council has
determined to send no more teachers for training, and
the Akola District Council considers that the scheme is
a dangerous one, but on the other hand good results
have again been achieved in Buldana. Further trial of
the experiment will be made, but at the same time
Government commends to the notice of district councils
the remarks of the Director of Public Health suggesting
the alternative employment of schoolmasters as advisers
and instructors of the people in their local areas. The
work of the vaccinators will be both easier and more
rapid if the path is made smooth for them in advance,
and the work of preparation and propaganda is perhaps
more likely to be suited to this agency than that of the
actual performance of the operations.

ORDER—Ordered that a copy of this Resolution be
forwarded to the Director of Public Health, Central
Provinces, for information and guidance; also, that it be
published in the supplement to the Central Provinces
Gazette.
By order of the Government
(Ministry of Medical Administration and Public Health),

                                                E. GORDON,

                  Revenue Secretary to Government,

                                                Central Provinces.
