Cincinnati. She advises us, if possible, j because her day is too

to employ a permanent worker, but one more case.

In order that the association, and people in general, may keep in close touch with the work, the nurse should

report to some specially appointed person once each day, and this person in

ake a written report

e association once a

month, and since we desire to inter

est the whole community it might be well to publish this report. We have secured blanks such as are used for these different reports, and any one can see and know just what is being done. A call book is usually kept at headquarters in which is entered the name and address of any sick person for whom the services of a nurse are desired. A summons may come for a nurse from an agent of some charitable society, from a member of some church society, from a member of the family, but most always from the attending physician. But the service of the nurse is public service, and she should be free to respond to all calls from all sources, and the only reason for refusing a call should be

full to take

ouce a momu, to tae association, a detailed account of the work done, and the state of the supplies. Also at the request of trie nurse the president of the association shall provide her with the name of some ladv of the city, who, as a friendly visitor, shall accompany her on her calls, or procure so far as practicable, any article required, not found in the general supplies.

We must interest the public in this new venture, explain waat the work stands for, and ask not only money, but interest and co-operation. Nothing so appeals to the public as the re

be aroused, money will be readily forthcoming.

suggests if we can not do so, she

might send us one of their nurses for a short time. She says they sent a nurse to Middletown, O., to start the work there, following the flood, and it has since been carried on very successfully by another worker. They would ask $75 a month and her expenses. In regeard to supplies she says they supply their nurses with a satchel, coat and hat A few drugs are kept in the supply closet, such as alcohol, carbolic acid and vaseline. These are paid for by the association, as are the dressing and bandages. She says: "In our supply closets are sheets, pillow cases and all articles used in the sicK room, these having been donated by various clubs. The cost of a supply closet is about $50, but most of them have been donated. We find them a great help, for so many families having sufficient bed linen, etc., in health, have none extra for sickness, and at that time find it impossible to buy them. These articles of linen, etc., are loaned only, and later laundered and returned." Mrs. Roach of your committee visited Dayton and had an interview with Miss Florence Evans of the Young Women's League, formerly with the Flower and Fruit Mission.

She said the work of the visiting nurse was started by request of the Associated Charities, and with practically no money on hands, and has grown to the extent of ten nurses, through dollar memberships and char-

to properly. This

d be investigated byi-ity balls, supplies being dbnated by

guilds, sewing societies, etc. Factory service is another means of securing money. For example, thoae factories taking a membership at $2i per year, would be limited, say to 200 calls, and the nurse could take care df the wife or children of the men employed, when the father would otherwise, be compelled to stay home and hejp in sickness, j Fights Political Contiol. Mrs. Roach also talked 1ith Miss Elizabeth Fox, superintendent of the Flower and Fruit Mission, t'ho is a graduate of the Chicago Training School, the Chicago Visiting! Nurses' Association, and Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore. She saidthat to organize the work, the first important step Is to secure a trained Msiting nurse, or social service nurse. Those who have started with a practical nurse have had to begin again. The nurse should be between the ages of 25 and 35. The supplies should not

exceea not lnciuaing a ag or

case in which to carry the neettful articles. They would consist df syringes, scrubbing brush, soap j box, soap, disinfectants, ointments hot water bags, 'rubber rings, shees, pillow cases, towels, wash cloths, infant clothing, children's gowns, men's night shirts, women's gownsi and

blankets. She emphasizes the' fact particularly that the nurse wok is more successful under private organization, where political favor poes not enter into the appointments.. lilk stations or any welfare work that originates fronLth nurse's work, progresses best when "not connected directly with the city government! although the nurse must, of course,', cooperate with the city health ofhter. She says if arrangements could be made with the local hospital, ihe nurses there could accompany he visiting nurse and receive training',in her work, being of assistance to her as well. The working hours are fn$m S:S0 to 5, with a half day each wek, r.nd one month's vacation with salaO'Salaries are $60 for those nurses under training, $70 for the first year aad S75 for' the second. On Sunday extreme cases only are looked after. Anderson Favors Plan. In Anderson, Miss McCleery, secretary of the Associated Charities, suggested a visiting nurse, and it was taken up by Mrs. Croan. She weqt io every club, lodge and church oganization in Anderson so the plai

would be thoroughly known. Shi

Caretakers are provided for conta

gious diseases, but their work is carefully supervised. Payments Provided. The families of the sick are urged to pay a small fee 5 or 10 cents per visit, though, of course, numerous exceptions Will have to be made. This promotes the patient's self-respect, and removes the stigma of being a "charity case." Moreover, people value what they pay for. The nurse should never give money or material relief of any sort to her patients. It would be a mistake for her to become known as a relief giving agent. The nurse should have a list of all societies from which relief is obtainable, and know to which to refer her case. It is estimated that it costs at least $1,000 per year for each nurse. The usual salary is about $75 a month or its equivalent, if board, lodging, laundry, car fare and supplies are provided. The secretary of the. Commercial club says he can provide space for supplies. These probably will not exceed 25 to start with. We have been promised wholesale prices, and many things will be donated. One person should have charge of the supplies, to which the nurse should of course, have access. The person in charge of these supplies will see that everything needful is in stock, and if not, will make proper report to the association in order that they may be secured. While it is unwise for a nurse to identify herself in any way as

a giver of material relief, she should j

nave at ner msposai a well stocked loan closet, from which nursing appliances may be loaned to the patient under ber charge. Each article should be distinctly maiked, and the mirse will see that they are returned promptly, when no longer needed. Personal Touch Emphasized. The association should also assist the nurse in special cases by sending a member to accompany her on her

visits, this lady acting as a "friend int
