DOROTHEA DIX AssoCIATION.


The Dorothea Dix Memorial association
Is devoted, as its name implies, to secur-
ing the means for the erection of suita-
bic memorial to the Maine born woman
who did so much during the Civn War
as superintendent OF nurses, to improve
the condition Of the military hospitals.
This was only one of the many good
works to which her life was devoted. Her
labors TO improve the condition Of the in
sane were Of incalculable benefit to hu-
mainly. From the government she re-
cetved and expended one million dollars
and more in building and rebuilding
asylums. Born on the banks OF the
Penobscot river in the town of Hampton,
It is particularly appropriate that in that
town monument should be erected in
her honor, and It IS fitting that the work
should be IA charge of Maine women.
The memorial association has already
secured the tract OF land on which stood
the Dix homestead, and proposes to
transform this bit of the rugged soil of
Maine into a memorial park. Anybody
who during Old Home Week, or at other
times for that matter. desires to aid in
this enterprise, may send contributions
to Mrs George c. Frye, 86f Spring street.
