The vast assistance which this: Red Cross nurse rendered may be scen from the many ways in which ‘the work has been extended during th latter half of th school year. The weighting and me which of the outbreak almost of a nurse d. children is today a very important pa of the health program. In March the io- cal Chapter of the Junior Red Cross bought scales and,place them in tae schools and the weighting and meas! ing began at once.

It was too late In the’year to accomplish a-great deal, but it is assured that-a’splendid Degin- ning was made and much jnterest arous- ed. Teachers have met the plan with a great deal of enthusiasm and in many. cases have assisted. “The - help which some .of the- older boya and. girls have given in this special work has been mfuch appreclated. - Twenty-Ave childrén who: were found to‘be from ten to twenty per| cent. below -the normal weight were re- ferred to the Summer ay Camp conduet- ed under the auspices of the Red Cross Seal Committee. The result of the weighing strongly em- phasizes the need of the school lunch. This is"becoming a recognized part -of the daily program in many systetas in our own state and throughout the country. Constderable attention has been given to the correction of defects among: child- ren during the year. With another nurse working the number of home calls has been more than: doubled and -as a result many corrections have been made. The services of the Red Cross nurse were continued during the sunmer months, her work being largely among school chil- dren. It would be a great benegt to the chil dren if the school nurse were employel at least one month during the vacation peri- o0d. An 'outline of summer work carried on by school nurses in nearly all systems follows: To visit parents and explaining the necessity of correcting defects ; to ar- range for operatlorfs: to make post-oper- ative calls; to conduct, Little Mothers' Classes; to conduct nutrition classes; to gonducted at the hospital.

Mr, Tirrell in opening his talk spoke of ‘every government as a machine. Our government is a machine for the people and every part of which mitgles with perfect accord and the foree behind the machine is the-vote of the people. We live in a republic. But what is a republic? A good definition of alrepub- Jic is a_representative democracys What does this mean? For instance take the town meeting, here people vote direetly but in the city government the power is by representation. The first is a_democ- racy and the second a representative dmeocracy. Mr. Tirrell reviewed the history government by representation from the early days until the present .time. He said we could mever have a pure democ- racy as a pure democracy would mean every person voting. In speaking of the Constitution ‘Mr. Tirrell said that al- though there were only about 5,000,000 the country when it was framed but t it was g0 well made that it was just as good today then. Mr. T rell told of the various divisions of the government and how each acted a check -on the other saying that it made 1 fool proof machine. In’ explaining the staté government and the methods of clecting officials Mr. Tirrell said of t people should ta more interest In polities, attend cau- cuses and vote. intelligently. He advised everyone to read the Constitution and famili themselves with it for it would help thein to understand the gov- ernment of this and’ also help them to_understand 1 life of the count; Miss Delia D.
