Polish school F1ourishes.

ST. Albert's Polish school on Indiana
boulevard, under Rev. Felix Seroccy-
nski, is the most recently organized,
but there are 123 pupils enrolled at
present Father Seroccynski is taking
more than the usual amount of interest
in his parishioners. He is conducting
an evening school in addition to the day
school, at which he mas large class
of young men. The one class which
meets three evenings a week is for
instruction in the English language,
and the other class, which meets two
evenings a week, is for the purpose of
instructing all those interested in the
study of Latin.
The Greek Catholic school had quite
a number of scholars but during the
recent church trouble all, with the ex-
ception of very few, have withdrawn
and entered either the public or the
Slavish schools.
The school building has been closed
altogether, the sessions now being held
in the hall of the church.
The attendance at the public school
is over 1000. A capable corps of in
structors were engaged the past year
and the spirit of harmony which has
predominated between instructors and
scholars in all undertakings has been
remarkable.
Industrial education is recognized by
the board of education as an import
ant factor and during the present year
more than the usual amount of inter
est has been given to this branch of
study.

preceding two years compare as follows:
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-04

The spirit in which the nurses go about their
work is shown in the report in the notebook of
one of the younger nurses: "Bathed, dressed and
cared for mother and newborn babe Bathed
dressed and cared for last-stage case of tubercu
losis. Dressed a burn a chids back
Gave bath and clean linen to two typhoids. Called
health department ambulance for four dphtheria
cases. Cleaned up four children with skin dis
ease excluded from school Sent four telephone
messages. Reported at Office. Wrote daily re-
port Went home tired, but happy and thankful
for my privileges The notes their own COM
mentary. The woman who does her work in this
mood and with the idea of being of service and
being glad because of it is one of the greatest
redemptve forces that the world knows. She is
worth dozen sermons in that she teaches class
who seldom hear sermons of any kind and who
need physical care before they can appreciate
spiritual.
Last year the Visiting Nurses Association cared
for nearly $4,000 patients, of whom only S26 were
old patients. They made 99,510 visits. Over 500
OF the cases whom they attended were cured and
over 5000 improved Only S66 died of the total
number, and when it is remembered that most
of the cases are terribly serious before the nurse
is brought in at ALL it will be seen just how much
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-04

they do. They summoned county physicians to
cases 1900 times, and other physicians 450 times
They gave over 1900 garments and brought i'm
mediate relief in the way of food and clothing to
III families They sent thousand patients
to hospitals. They loaned linen and clothing in
nearly 1,5OO cases They loaned sick room neces-
stiles to over 600 more. They reported to various
institutions several hundred patients and over
thousand to the Department of Health.
The work of the nurses is varied in kind
as 1t is in scope She has to be general arbiter
OF everything when she enters household.
There Is usually complete disorganization of the
house with serious illness present and her first
duty is to see that some sort of system Is es-
tablished so that her work may be facilitated She
has to think of everybody and everything In con-
nection with her duties
The days are long and arduous. Telling Mary
Browns mother the child could go for an outing
and then rushing hastily on, would have been
the easier way, but tired as she is she stops to
hear the mother say that Mary has decent
dress, but she says: II think can get you one:"
and after hours at night she calls up a friend to
say her little typhoid girl cannot go away unless
she has dress, and it's forthcoming This same
nurse, by her energy and wisdom, no doubt pre.
vented epidemic of typhoid In a certain local
ity. An open vault overfowing was receiving the
excreta from typhoid The yard was
warming with flies carrying the germs to tn
food In the dozens of cottages nearby An hour
from the time of the discovery the Health Depart-
ment had visited the landlord and the unsanitary
condition corrected. Could any scout In the war
fare against disease be of more value than this
nurse! Inc t1ealLn department does not and
never will recognize this side of the Visiting
Nurses work. Only few days ago a neighbor
called the nurse on her rounds to see two little
children very Ill with sore throats 1t was not
her province to diagnose, but she called up the
Health Department, and they sent physician at
once with anti-toxin. 1t proved to be diphtheria
The Visiting Nurse gave this information to the
Health Department, or 1t may have been too late
to save these children.
The work of the nurse in the vacation schools
sanctioned by the Nurses Committee. again
this year an important feature of the summers
work. Four nurses gave hour and a half
each day for six weeks, teaching classes of girls
and boys, forty in number, domestic hygiene It
was we'll DONE and satisfactory both to the nurses
and the superintendent Mr.. Began who says:
Visiting Nurses are fixture In vacation school
work"
Included In Mrs Spading's magnificent gift of
the entire Napervile plant for tubercuar patients
TO the Chicago tuberculosis Institute was also one
to the Visiting Nurses Association of ten free
BEDS which she will maintain there permanently

Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-04

do something for the unfortunates whom she
meets, she understands how and where the worst
evils can be remedied.
Many of the landlords of unsanitary dwelling
places have complied with the request of the Wis
iting Nurse rather than allow the matter to go
to the city hall. They have to know that
the nurse always does what she says she will do
in matters like this. Hundreds of families who
have ignored the law of isolation in the coming
of contagious disease have taken the nurses
warnings where they would not take those of the
officers of the health department.
More babies have been saved by the actual in
structiOns of the nurses than have been saved by
all the printed pamphlets issued the sub
Ject The principals of forty public schools in the
districts where school education is the most
necessary because it is the only kind that the
children receive have testified that the school at
tendance has increased through the influence of
the visiting nurses.
Someone recently asked Visiting Nurse what
the hardest problem that she had to cope with
was, and what theories she had formed of social
conditions The nurse thought moment, then
replied: II don't believe have any problems
and I'm sure that have no theories"
That is the whole story of the work of the
nurses. They are too busy doing the actual work
to consider theories and problems. Their work
is in front of them and they do it. When the
nurse reaches her case, there is usually fire to
build and a kettle to put Sometimes the
hydrant Is several flights of stairs away and she
has to go to the corner store to fuel. She
may have to get lamp somewhere to be able to
find her patient in the dark unventilated bed
room She may find the in the last stages
of tuberculosis with children in bed with her
She will have to send the children to some neigh
Dor who is willing to look after them and then
devote her entire attention to the woman who is
already too i'll to be moved to hospital, and who
is made comfortable possible in her last
hours.
While the nurse is giving all the care she knows
how to her patient tidying the bedside, dressing
wounds and doing everything to alleviate pain
and suffering, she knows that her work is by no
means done She is observing the housing seeing
ways of improving it, examining the sanitary con-
dtions, already finding ways for their betterment,
preaching and teaching the laws of cleanliness
And clean living brings about clean thinking, so
that the Visiting Nurse is of the great moral
forces of the city. She joins hands with all the
social forces and is the greatest Investigator they
have, more efficient than entire corps of ex-
aminers. Someone has characterized the nurse
as latter day health missioner" but the title
is not nearly comprehensive enough She is a
wonderfully effective aleviating agency for all ills
Her profession is the immediate need.
