room tor the men, separate rooms for
the boys, two classrooms, lecture hall,
secretary's Office, and a well-equipped
kitchen for the use OF the auxiliary de-
partment of the Association. On the
reading tables may be found large list
of magazines and papers.
Above the rooms, in what was the for
mer lecture hall, are two pool tables and
one billiard table, irst-class in every
respect. Above the social room in the
newly-acquired portion of the building,
are two flats OF dormitories, consisting
of len single and four double rooms, all
newly-furnished. papered and painted.
Bathroom accommodations are found
on each of these flats and the IA dormi-
tories comprise the pleasantest rooms in
town for young men. On the top floor is
the janitor's fiat, and the fact that the
directors have secured Robert !. Parks
as janitor assures all roomers and pat
rons of the building that it will be kept
in excellent condition.
The result of the $4,000 campaign
speaks for itself and it is up to the people
OF st. Johnsbury to sustain the work in
the years to come. Secretary Adams
and Physical Director Palmer are
splendidly equipped for service and the

Others will, we believe, Loyalty support

District Nursing.

The work of district nursing which
has been carried on so successfully the
past two years under the direction of
social science committee Of the Womans
Club, will be resumed this year beginning
February LIST, An appropriation from
the club for this purpose will ensure two
months work as usual Mrs. Emma
Houston has again been engaged as dis
trict nurse. AS this is a philanthropic
movement it goes without saying that
much sympathetic interest, effort and
zeal must be brought to bear both by
the district nurse and those who cooper
ate with her. The physicians and clergy
have been most helpful heretofore, and
they are again called upon, as well as
Others interested, to report cases Of need
to Mrs. b. w. Spaulding, 81 Summer ST.,
chairman of the committee which has
the work i'll charge. Mrs. Houston
feels that if each member of the club
could have the opportunity she does to
see the good that is done by the money
expended in that way she would feel re-
paid tor all the club has done.
