This will take the form of teaching new games as well as seeing the children are actively engaged in play. The past year has been marked by 2 number of epidemics in different schools. Impetigo, whooping cough, diphtheria and scarlet fever have been present to an unpleasant degree. They have brought increased interest in the possibility of securing a nurse for the public schools of Berlin. A committee with George Dodd as chairman is investigating the possibil- ittes of such a nurse and will meet roon to further discuss the project. Svch a nurse by frequent visitation and inspection would be able to de- tect may suspicious cases and call the attention of parets to need for treatment by the family physician. She would also play a part in hygiene mnstruction as given in the schools. Through such inspection of individua! children as she would be qualified to make, the nurse would discover many prysical conditions which need care and treatment. Where children are under weight and investigations recently held has.shown tnat there are many, the nurse could take up the problem with the par- ets, so that the condition would be remedied.
