During the month of April the pub- lic health nurse, Miss Culver, made a total of 163 calls, according to the re- port presented at the monthly meet- ing of the committee on public l‘flfi! nursing. Of this number 114 were nursing, twenty-seven were ln- structive and twenty-two miscellane- ~us. The committee on Wednesday made the following statement in regard to the rules as there seems to be some uncertainty in regard to the fees for the nurse's services: The duty of the nurse is to visit sick persons in need of nursing care, to care for them at their homes, and to teach the families they visit the sim- ple rules of nursing and hygiene. A fee of 50 cents covers the cost of the nurse’ ‘The nurse will eol- lect as iwrge a part of this 50-cent fee as the patient is able to pay. The payment of small fees, 35 cents, 25 cents, or 10 cents, for each visit makes it possible for the society to care for a larger number of those unable to pay anything. The nurse responds to every new call, but she continues with the care of the case only in conjunction with the physjcian in attendance. The nurse is subject to the authority of the physician in care of the case and is expected to observe professional etiquette, The nurse is expected not only to give bedside care, but to teach clean- liness and to prevent the spread of disease. Waiting maternity patients will be visited as soon as reported. The nurse is not on call for patients at e of delivery, but after visits to maternity patients will be made. The patient in greatest need receives thé first visit, therefore the nurse can. not promise to visit any patient at a fixed hour day after day. Only neces- sary visits are made on-Sundays and holidays. The nurse is entitled to a vacation B ] CHILDREN WHO ARE SICKLY Mothers who value their own comfort and the welfare of their children, should never be without & hox of Mother Gray’s Sweet Powders for Children, for use throughout the season.

Miss Suman told of the work that is being carried on with the natives and of how willingly they welcome the missionaries. Miss Suman also spoke of the tornadoes that sweep the islands from time to time. One of these wind storms took .the roof completely off their building and Miss Suman and her corps of assistants were forced to stand in a small closet for four hours, as that was the only available shelter. As soon as-the native boys had put the roof on again another tornado struck the village and tore it off. This was 1epeated several times and it took in all about five months to get the building covered in. Miss Suman’s talk ‘was very interesting and was listened to with close attention.

Clark Tells 6f Work Carried on in China Since January. General Secretary Edwin Hill on ‘Wednesday received a letter from R. ‘W. Clark, the foreign secretary at Paotingfu, North China, whose work is being supported by the Norwich Y. M. C. A. The letter is in the nature of a report for the first quarter of 191¢ and is addressed to those whao made contributions for the ‘work whkich he is carrying on in China. The etter Is dated March 381, ‘The last quarter has been packed fuli of work, said Secretary Clark in his report, and has shown by far the biggest advance we have yet made. This has been due mostly to the fact that Mr Hubbard has been_able to give us a large share of his tifie which has very materially increased our working force. During January we had the rare op- portunity of assisting Frank Yung Tao of Pekin in one of his Bible dis- tribution campaigns. Mr. Yung is a wealthy merchant but retired several years ago from active business. He believes that the best use he can make of his money is through Bible dis- tribution and he chose Paotingful as the first place outside of Pekin to be- gin his work. He later hopes to spread it to most of the larger citles of China. Our night school has shown 2 marked increase in attendance since the Chinese New-Pear, there now be- ing seven classes with an enrollment of fiity. This is fifty per cent. more :han we have had at any one time be- ore. The remainder of his report is tak- €n up with a resume of the work car- ried or alonz athletice lines. Mr. Clar:z sent with the letter a rumkber of very interesting pictutes of his buildings. etc. and they are on ex- hibition at the Y. M. C. A. lob- by. In a personal letter to Mr. Hill he says that he is planning on visiting Norwich in a month or 0 when he gets his furlough an dhe Intends to bring a few curios and souvenirs for his Norwich friends.
