Tre Instructive Visiting Nurse So- clety has been in existence since 1900, when it was established with a single nurse. So far the members of the board have practically supported it themselves, aided by the establish- ‘ment of memorial nurses by several individuals, churches, etc. Now it has eighteen graduate nurses on its staff, two of them colored. It stands in urgent need of $50,000, first to raise the salaries of its nurses, and, second. to expand its work. Its campaign to um will start April 24 k, and the men's ad- hopes to help it get 3 campaign chairman, also spoke briefly. and both | Cross answered ques- tions asked by interested attendants. The organization is, of course, in- dorsed by the Council of Social Agen- cies. Plan Is Outlined. Chairman Howe outlined the plan whereby the new committee intends to help, and apnounced that it would be enlarged. perfected and started on its work at a second meeting to be the next two weeks. “Tt is apparent,” he said, “that a visiting nurse sociely is as vitally necessary to a modern city as is a hospital.” ‘Among those invited to yesterday's meeting_were: Judge William H.
