Johnson. : & Public Nurse’s Activities. Miss Elizabeth Culver, public nurse, gave the following report: Public Health Nursing. As we look back over this second year of vpublic health nursing work, e feel that we are justified in report- ing real progress. Not only does the bedside nursing work in the homes show a marked advance—the nursing visits being nearly doubled over those of last year—but more time has been given to the work of education in the vention of disease. pr::‘aerxl‘;lln the year it was decided that a second nurse must be engaged. In April, Miss Mary L. Lamb, a graduate of the Rhode Island hospital, Provi- dence, came to us. Her term of ser- vice for over six months was satisfac- tory, only terminating at the end of December at her own reguest to be re- leased to accept a hospital position in another city. The summer’s campaign of educa- tional work in the Little Mothers’ leagues was made possible by giving tae nursing work almost entirely to the second nurse. Lecture on Infant Welfare. Before the close ¢f the school ses- sions in June a simple lecture on in- fant welfare was given in the higher grades of all the parochial schools and in the public schools in se!ec(e‘d i neighborhoods. The interest of girls from 10 to 14 years was cnlisted. The object of the work being to teach the girls by means of simple iectures and practi¢al demonstrations the proper | care of baby brothers and sisters in ?the homes, it-was considered wise to |limit the number enrolled in each jleague. However, the great enthus | asm manifested by the girls of the city ! even those of younger age clamoring ffor admission—made it necessary to change our original plan of organizing four leagues of 20 girls each. Througa July and August nine league meetings were held for five days each week, at | which there was -an -average attend- ance of 15. The total attendance was 1,159, : Tie girls of Greeneville and vicinily met in the Shetucket club room, gen- crously loaned to us by the Shetucket company, and the girls of the Falls district, the West Side and vicinily meeting in the United Workers’ house. The lessons and demonstrations in bathing and the,value of water; in dressing the baby for the various sea- sons; in the cleansing and sterilizing of nursing bottles, and preparation of simple milk formulaes, were made as «imple ‘and practical as possible. The “real as life, new-horn infant” | doll never lost charnt for the girls, and aithough many were the soapy baths she received, the rosy cheexs and satisfied smile were not effaced, and she will be just as charming for another summer’s campaign. _ However, the pieasure in bathing “Little Emily” was far outdistanced by the joy of bathing a really human baby. Nothing could exceed the en- thusiasm which greeted the, Polish mother who appeared one morning with 7 months’ babe in her arms. The “little mother,” who at the same time -was big sister to the ‘“real live” baby. fairly beamed with a scnse of benefaction. She had invited her mother to bring the baby. When the little white tub of warm soapy water was made ready, the tem- perature heing carefully tested by sev- cral “Little Mothers,” who zealously offered bared elbows for the purpose, the baby was given to the nurse for the first demonstration in bathing a “real live” baby. Chairs ‘were drawn ciose and eager faces watched every move. Our baby was a healthy speci- men, thoroughly enjoving the pleasure he was giving. - After’ being bathed and dressed, he was put to the moth- er's breast and, his hunger being ap- peased, sleep soon followed. This was ag it should be, for the girls had learn- ed that the proper time to nurse a baby was after bathing. The Cure of Colic. The following week another baby appeared upon the scenme at the same league meeting. Althoush a different lesson was scheduled for the day, the buzz of suppressed excitement in the room indicated the wisdom of accept- ing this baby for another demonstra- tion. It was with some misgivings that the nurse yielded the soft little body to the soapy bath, for she had seen the mother appeasing the pangs of hunger in a somewhat copious fashion before the session began. All went well for a time. The baby splash- ed and gurgled; the interest of the girls was unabated, and apt replies were given to the quiz on the preced- ing lesson. The-aftermath was dis- tinctly different. Deafening shrieks from our very clean baby soon inter- 1pted the schedule for the morning. Being taught by a rigorous hospital training to be ready for emergencies, the teacher immediately selected this as fitting time for a lesson on the care of colic. with a timelv talk on tae reason why a baby should always be nursed after a bath and never be- fore. Many other babies with mothers or older sisters visited us during the course of the summer. One Hebrew mother made it a practice to send her vyoung offspring for a number of weeks on Saturday mornings, thus saving the labor of bathing him on that day. He being a particularly adorable baby, good natured and smiling, the girls were allowed to do the bathing. Results were seen in several homes hefore the summer was over. Little Mothers began to bring reports of ba- bies bathed by them. In one home, where the mother was a little skeptical o8 to the ability of her little daughter, a visit from the nurse to assure her of the creditable work that daughter was doing in the league was all that was needed. The next morning Fanny was told she could bathe little sister. As the baby had not been receiving on the subject, Community Respomsi- bility for Conservation of Life. Dr. Parker spoke as follows: We are in this war beeause it is right and we want to make this coun- try of ours safe for the individual to live in. When we entered this war we took a great step and for the first time in history we told the secretary of war that the boys and men which are fighting should be kept free from moral temptations. We realize that in . the cantonments these temptations are. many and that the moral temptations Church Sunday Affernoon— with the demonstration of making a bed for baby in_a clothes basket proved of unfailing interest. i Dr. Brophy's lectures on First Aid to the Sick Baby were intensely prac- tical, "especially ‘the advice as to the diet of young children. The girls showed a keen interest in the subject, giving special heed to the list of foods which babies should not eat. Many were ‘the harrowing tales told of ba- bies who were known to eat popcorn, peanuts, cucumbers, etc. One little zirl told of her atnt's baby who was living on a liberal diet of bananas. To the earnest remonstrance of the little girl against such unwise procedure, the "aunt replied that she had -been giving the baby bananas for a long time and she hadn’t died yet. The reply of the Little Mother is worthy of record: ‘T told her, nurse, that may- be if her baby didn't die, would 8row up a sick woman on Her yet!” The girls had been taught that well babies make strong men and women. At the close of the eight weeks' course, simple demonstrations were given by way of review to which out- side friends were invited. Certificates were given for perféct attendance to 69 girls. The work of giving nursing care to the ‘sick in their homes has been con- tinued throughout the 12 months. During the year 2,074 calls were made, 1,058 of which were purely nursing visits. This is an increase of 631 over the number of last year. On the Hourly Basis. Because of the incréasing demands ng made upon our service by fami- lies who were willing and able to pey a higher fee than the cost price of 50 cents, it was decided to put this branch of our work on the hourly basis, the cost of the visit being determined by the time given to the patient and charged at a slightly higher rate. This arrangement has been of great con- venience to many families, and is in accordance with a custom established in other cities where an hourly nurs- ing service is conducted in connection (with a public health nursing assoc.a- i Our receipts for the year totaled 75.45, ‘4 surplus over last year of 84.63. Twenty-one doctors have made use of our work during the year. This we note with considerable encouragement, as public health nursing work is so closely associated with the medical profession that little progress could be.made without their co-oneration. In this connection we are pleased to re- | port the action taken by tne Norwich i 2. $1 catharsis in cases of eme ncy with- out a doctor’s orders. We feel grate- 6 ful to the Norwich Medical associa- tion for thus recognizing our work, and sincerel appreciate the action of Dr. idy, who made the recom- , this by no means caucels to comtinue with the care of only under the authority of physician, Neariy a fourth of the cases treated Lave been Polish.. These people are, 25 a rule, undemonstrative, and at times seem lacking in appreciation. However, no part of the work has been more encouraging or more fruitful of results than -what has been done in these homes. Many of them show a sincere gesire to learn the right way of doing things. To be sure the prog- ress is slow and much remains to be t, but the desire to learn and| willingness to adapt themselves to new W is gratifying-indeed. Of the nine Mothers’ Leagues the one which received honorable mention for keep- ing the attendance at the highest mark was made up almost entirely of Polish girls from St. Joseph’s Parochial school. a patie An Independent People. The Poles are an independent peo- ple and resent an intrusion upon the privacy of-their homes unless it has the warrant of necessity. But if their confidence is won, much can be done through tact, coupled with patience and a friendly spirit. % Trotect the cantonments from these not only weaken the mind but they tend to weaken the, physical man. The temptations are many, but the greatest of them are the sale of liquor and the so-called social evil. Tese evils can be cvercome with a systematic survey of' conditions not only in the cumps but in the community itself. Mary a community is overrun with places of evil resort but with right thinking these people may 'be exterminated There have been plans worked out to cvils but it is up to the community to help. To Reclaim Women. It is for certain cases that the state farm for women has been prcposed. When a . commercialized. . woman . is feund near a cantonment she is driven out but nothing is done to reform her or help her in any way. Many of thess women with kindness shown them might be reclaimed and set at some good honest work. Dr. Parker told of the unmarried mothers and how they might be tak- en care of and the children brought up without the stizma of shame upon them. She spoke of the work of the policewomen saying® that the women eould better understand the nature of A. the baskttball team from Fort H. women tha nthe policemen, and. thus do greater good in many cases. She also told of the need to imstruct the children in the mysteries of life force before it was too iate and they had learned things for themselves in a wrong way. : Dr. Parker’s talk was straight from thie shoulder and told many of the ex- isting conditions and also ways that they might be remedied. Collection For the. . Roor. A collection amounting to $53.85 was u‘xken up for the poor families in the city, The meeting closed with the smging of a hymn and the benediction by Dr. €. H. Howe, §T.

FORD AEJTO TURNED TURTLE AT DERRY HILL Three Men Badly Cut About the Face and Shoulders.’ A ford touring car owned and dtiv- en by Joseph Ladyska of Jewett City #ontaining four passengers besides the driver, turned turtle at the top of In most cases they pay for the nurs- ing work, many giving the full fee, while others make a nominal pay- ment, and even insist in some cases upon paying for instructive visits, thus manifesting their appreciation of the value of a work, for which, as a rule, we have made no charge. In one Polish home. where the gen- 2ral intelligence of the family would not warrant the expectation of extra- ordinary results, a serious case of pneumonia was carried through to a successful recovery. The patient, a young man of 24, the only son of Lis parents, was found in a small room with but one window and that securelv nailed down. Although it was March end the weather not severe, the patient was warmly clad in two complete suits of heavy flannels and sandwiched snugly between two feather quilts. The temperature ranged between 104 and 105. .The doctor's order was a tepid alcohol bath with the usual care for a pneumonia - patient. The pathetic figure of the little old mother upon her knees with uplifted hands, implering the nurse to save her boy, will linger long in a memory already well furnished with similar pictures. - The father was sot to work releas- ing the window, the mother in finding lighter weight ¢lothing and bed cov- ers, while the nurse made ready the articles necessary to the bath. . An hour later, the patient bathed and clad in cooler. raiment. with temperature ranging a desree lower, presented an entirely different appearance. After leaving instructions about medication ond nourishment. the nurse left to re- turn in the late afternoon, hoping against hope that she might find the room as she left it, flooded with sun- shine and sweet pure air. For a week two visits were made daily; the doctor’s orders obeyed, and the patient carried through the crisis to a successful reeovery. several times it was necessary to teach the value of pure fresh air. when the window, would be found partly closed. The parents were amenable to reasoning, but the officious kindness of neighbors and friends often requires more patient tact than the dealing with the “imme- diate family. Officers Were Reelected. Following Miss Culver's report the election of officers took place. The nominating committee read the list of officers and they were electeq collec- tively. The_officers were re-elected as follows: President. Mrs. George D. Colt; first vice president, Mrs. A. A.

The men who attended the Y. M. C. A. rally Sunday heard one of the very best addresses given in recent months. Rev. J. H. Newland was the speaker and his topic was-Making a Chain. The passage was taken from the prophecy of Ezekial. The speaker spoke of the necessity of making a strong chain of nations to fight against the e of liberty; also of the chain of individuals banded together with the one object of strengthening the wholp bedy. He also urged the forging of a chain of friendships, and' emphasis was placed on the kind of friendships we form. Some of them tend to pull us down and others pull us up to things high and noble. Mr. Newland in closing urged his hearers in the forging of their chain of friendship not to forget the most important link in friendship’s chain, namely, Jesus Christ, the best friend any man can possibly have. The musical part of the service was helpful, made so by the vocal solos sung by Hugh Kinder and the accom- paniment of Robert Otis. Secretary Hill was in charge of the service. Quite a number of sailors and sol- diers were noticed in the audiemce, WEDDINGS. Alafsin—-Cav:t-r. The wedding of John B.
