TO the oriental quarter of the city will
readily be seen, when it is stated that

1000 TT. radius of King and Liliha,
l12.S per cent; 1-2 mile radius of King
and Liliha, 429 per cent; "a mile radi'
us of King and Liliha, $40 per cent;

The duties of the nurses should be
as follows: (1) Visit the schools and
the homes in their district, with view
to detecting incipient cases; (2) Upon
finding cases, these should be induced to
see a physician, either (D their own
physician or (2) physician chosen by
them or (3) the government physician.
In all cases the diagnosis must be alb
solute and the patient should have the
right of seeing another physician If
desired; (3) Education of homes in
which eases are found; az Education
of school children and teachers in their
districts with the assistance of physi'
clans; (5) The keeping of careful statis-
tics and records.
This last duty is very important. In
addition to the nurses records, it is
recommended that maps and charts be
kept in some central office. These should
be open to the public and will prove
of great educational value.
u.-Treatment. (I 1t is recommend.
ed that the Leah Home be enlarged SO
that it may be in position to re-
ceive and treat a great many more in
cipient cases than at present. The
building of two pavilions with the
necessary financial provision for taking
care of more cases is recommended fol-
! the present. (2) Home treatment ur-
der the advice of physicians is recon-
mended for those who may find it i'm
possible to go to the Leah lone. (3)
The matter of Day Camp has receiv,
ed very careful consideration. 1t is
thought best to have such a camp neal
the car line for the care and treat
4 ment of incipient cases among chill
dren. Two sites are recommended il
available:
(D The vacant lot at the corner OF
Miller and Beretania;
CD Lot belonging to Bishop Estate
on Asylum road.
The latter has the advantage of prox
unity to the field where tuberculosis
prevails.
III.-Educational az The subcom
mittee would strongly recommend the
introduction into the Territory Norma

course it will be possible to reacl

Education along lines of church hygi
enc. (6) The dangers of the common
drinking cup in school and other public
places. az Talks TO the Perritoria
Teachers Association.
IV.-Legislative. Under this head
the committee would suggest the fol
lowing items: () A law against
Irromiscuous expectoration. This has
already been assigned to the Palama
settlement who have the matter in
hand. (2) The passage of milk ordi
nance to insure clean milk supply. %,

nance, especially with reference to the
building of tenements. az A law max
ing 1t compulsory for physicians anc
