PLANS OF THE NURSES.
DR.. Smith Addresses the Association
CONCERNING District Nursing.

Concerning District Nursing.
The Ramsey County Graduate Nurses
association has taken up the matter OF
district nursing, and will cooperate with
the Associated Charities in the efforts OF
the latter association to make this branch
of charitable work active in ST. Paul. DIR.
Samuel G. Smith, of the Associated Char
tiles. addressed the Nurses association
yesterday afternoon at meeting held in
the medical library, Lowry arcade. DR..
Smiths subject was District Nursing. :
He explained how, in larger cities, the
poorer wards of the town were divided
into districts and a trained nurse as
signed to each district This nurse is
supposed to cover any case assigned her
by the Associated Charities. Dr. Smith
stated that the Associated Charities here
in ST. Paul would select the cases, pay
for medicines, ETC., provided the Nurses
association would furnish a list of nurses
who could spare the time for the work.
In time, DR.. Smith stated, he hoped
there would be fund established in st.
Paul for this work, but until there was
such fund the Associated Charities
would do the best it could in the matter,
and would endeayor to see that all urgent
cases had the services of a trained nurse.
Mrs. C.sG Higbee, of the Bethel. was in
troduced and spoke briefly, telling some
thing of the work of the Bethel nurse.
Although not all demands upon this
nurses time could be supplied, much had
been accomplished. IF GLOWING the adj
dresses the Nurses association held a
brief business session, and the following
committee was appointed: Miss Wood,
Miss Louise Brown, Miss Hemmems, Miss
Marion Pollock and Miss Cannon. This
committee will find out what nurses will
be able to place part of their time at the
disposal of the Associated Charities, and
a list of names will be made up.
