VISITING NURSES.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Few charitable or phlanthropic
agencies OF any class accomplish more
practical good in relieving suHerlns
than do the organizations OF visiting
nurses although their work is done
so quietly and unostentatiously tnat
few have any idea of it's scope or ex-
tent While the visiting nurse hrst
comes into a family for the purpose OF
aiding in an emergency Of illness, her
helpfulness may not end there. Her
influence is always toward better social
conditions. more comfortable home life
and a greater degree of happiness for
each member of the family. Because
she is usually closely in touch with
every other philanthropic institution In
her locality. she can give indirect aid
through a great variety of channels.
The establishment of the childrens s
bureau was first conceived in the mind
of a visiting nurse who felt the neces-
sitv of securing a greater knowledge
of the needs of little folks OF every
class. The great crusade against IN
fant mortality. which is now sweeping
over the country, really began with
the reports made by visiting nurses,
and the same thing might be said re
garding and anti-tuberculosis work
which is now so Well under way.
Ine history visiting nurses HAY
be said to begin with the work OF
Florence Nightingale. who first demon
strated the Importance of women
being trained and qualified for nursing
the sick and teaching the community
the value of hygiene. Her work was
directed to war hospital and institu-
tional nursing. but Mr.. William Rath-
bone of Liverpool. England, inaugu-
rated. in 1859, the movement for utll-
izing the services of the trained visit
i,,e in ha of
poor. and since then it has been put
into practical effect in every civilized
country. One of the events connected
with Queen Nictorias jubilee celeDra-
tion was the erection of an institute
for the training of nurses, which is
still recognized as the most important
institution of the kind in Europe. Ihe
fiftieth anniversary OF the establish
ment of visiting nurses in England was
celebrated with much ceremony In
1909. many delegates and visitors from
America being in attendance.
The movement for visiting nurses did
not become firmly established In the
United States until 1877, when the
womens branch of the New York city
mission sent the first trained nurse into
the homes of the sick poor. Two years
later the Society for Ethical culture
placed d nurse for similar work in one
of the New York city dispensaries. For
years the growth of the movement in this
country was slow and it was not until
the nineties that any great interest was
manifest. excepting in two or three OF the
larger cities. In 1870 there were only
twenty-one visiting nurse associations IN
the United States. Most of them en-
ployed only one nurse. Now there are
nearly Gtu organizations. with more than
800 regular salaried nurses, in addition
to large number of pupil nurses from
different hospitals who include visiting
work as a part of their course of instruc-
ton.

Treatment at Home
Favored by Nurses.


worker engaged in the distribution OF,
charitable aid: Tire space in hospitals
is always Inadequate to the demand made
upon it by patients who, in most cases.
could not be treated at home, and the
expense of caring for them there is
much greater. whether it is borne by the
family of the patient or by the public
charities. In addition to this there are
many patients for whom skilled care is
absolutely needed who. from prejudice
or other causes, are unwilling to so to
hospitals. although they are perfectly
willing TO receive treatment from a nurse
in their own homes.
In addition to her hospital training,
winch must be as complete as possible.
the visiting nurse must possess tact
and discretion, as we'll AS d talent for
winning confidence, which is not so es-
Sentlal to one whose patients are COM
posed of the class who are able to
command the attendance of the nurse
continually in their own homes. The
visiting nurse must work to keep up
the health standard of her district, and
she must be continually on the alert
to discover cases of sickness requiring
her care. which at the beginning may
not come to her as promptly as when
the value of her services is recognized.
"A -
many organizations for the nurse not
to respond to any call without a writ
ten request or order from doctor.
but as the work has broadened this
restriction has been almost oblitera ted.
Now it is as apt to be the nurse who
influences the patient to call the doctor
as 1T is the doctor who secures the
nurse.
While it is intended that the services
of the visiting nurse shall be free
at all times to those who are not able
to pay, the movement has none of the
pauperizing tendency that tends to
| lower the self-respect of the recipient.
| A family may pay for the services OF
| a visiting nurse in proportion to the
| time she spends with her patient and
his condition, the usual fees being from
| 10 to 25 cents for each visit. this sum
being considered a fair percentage of
| the average laboring mans income to
| be used for this purpose. Next to the
actual care of the patient the duty OF
! the visiting nurse is to instruct the
| mother in the home how to care for
the sick herself. In this way a patient
| in a prolonged illness may be well taken
| care of if the visiting nurse comes
| once or twice day and arranges the
| bed and gives the special treatment re-
| quired. the remaining nursing being
given by some member of the family
| under her direction. The instruction
given may include preparation of food
| as we'll as hygiene and nursing. so that
it has most important value to the
! entire family Ii makes no difference
| to the nurse. however. whether the fam
| lily PAYS any fee for her services or not
| Her obligation to them is just the same
| Each visiting nurse is paid a regular
| salary, and the fees she receives are
either turned into the treasury of the
| organization or used for an emergency
| fund.

Crazy Sensation.

With some Of the Denver papers it
seems to be anything for sensation
that will help sell papers. During the
past six weeks. they have been at
tempting to create a sensation over
their claim that thousands of home
steaders In eastern Colorado were
threatened with starvation. One of
these papers makes the claim that 1000
homesteaders are in this condition.
We have no doub3s that In some 70
calities in eastern Colorado there are
some homesteaders who are in need of
help, but we do not for moment be-
lieve that there is any such number of
these people as the Denver papers have
been reporting. When the Denver pa
pers say that the homesteaders are
Threatened with starvation" they are
making a wild statement for which
there is no foundation whatever. No
homesteader in eastern Colorado has
been threatened with starvation for the
reason that the counties are amply pro-
vided with fund. to prevent any such
trouble as that and, on application to
the county commissioners their needs
would be provided for.
No such cases have been reported in
Phillips comfy and we are informed
that there are comparatively few cases
in any of the counties of north eastern
Colorado.
The Denver papers have been pub
fishing columns of this sensation and
have been no more definite in locating
this trouble than simply to say that il
is in Eastern Colorado. 1t is simply
an outrage to many of the counties Of
eastern Colorado to be thus misrepre.
sented to the general public by the
Denver press.
Unless other parts OF eastern Colora-
do are in very materially different
condition financially from that Of the
north eastern counties, the counties OF
eastern Colorado are amply able to take
care Of all cases of actual need.
OF course money has been very close
in this part of the state and there has
been much demand for loans and in
some cases the banks have not been a.
BILE to accommodate the applicants.
The move that has been made in Den.
yer to provide loans for homesteaders
will be greatly appreciated and will do
much to help the homesteaders get a
start but it is one thing to advertise
the fact that many farmers in eastern
Colorado are in need of loans and an en-
tirely different thing to publish the
sensational claim. that thousands of peo-
pie in eastern Colorado are threaten
ed with starvation"
