live on just the same, ignore the

that's just it; we do not stew or

The association unanimously Endorsed
the proposition that the next superin-
tendent of public schools in the District
be chosen from among the local edu-

tiers the association advocated the cree

NIT citizens of that community to pre-
sent their claims before definite decision
was reached as to where the new school
was to be placed.
An appropriation to place the assembly

STORY Of FARMLAND
PLAYED BY CHILDREN
Miss Margaret Wilson Joins in
Merry Dances With Cleveland
School Pupils.

With Miss Margaret Wilson, daugh-
ter of the President, as the guest of
honor, children oil the Grover Cleveland
School Social Center last night pre-
sented The Sleeping Beauty" The
princess. the good fairies and the
troublesome genii. who cast the spell
over the castle, stepped out of the
fairy book and into the guises of the
young people, showing in a delightful
way how the wonderful enchantment
worked-"once upon a time"
When the curtain fell on the last act
and the people of fairyland once more
became boys and girls. the Virginia
reel was danced, with Miss Wilson as
one of the dancers. For half an hour
or more she danced with the young
folks to their infinite delight, and ap
parently to hers.
The entertainment was given for the
parents of the children, under the two
civic clubs of the school. which are
features of the social center work done
there under the direction of the prin
cipal, Miss f. S. Farley; Miss Cecil
Norton. one of the teachers. and Mrs.
Howard Beall. the mother of one of the
pupils.
The members of these clubs one for
the boys and one for the girls, have
been busy for several weeks preparing
for the event. They made the cos
tunes and other paraphernala for the
play themselves.
Between the acts of the play musical
numbers were given by Raymond Decker
and Miss Ida Ullman. Following the
performance light refreshments were
away the chairs downstairs for the Vir-
ginia reel

SCHOOL NURSES NEEDED.
DECLARES DR.. f. B. H0AG
Medical Inspection Makes Their
Use Inevitable in United
| States, He Says.

Medical inspection of schools has rem
dered the school nurse inevitable de-
clares DR.. Ernest Bryant Hoag, in a
bulletin on organized Health Work, :"
just issued by the United States bureau
of education.
Without an effective follow-up serv-
ice conducted by visiting nurses, medi-
cal inspection is ineffective Until 1I,S
New York city relied upon postal CARDS
sent to parents of defective children, and
was able to secure action in only per
cent of the cases where treatment was
recommended. Immediately. upon plac-
ing the follow-up service in the hands of
school nurses the percentage increased
to 81 --
The nurse effects what no other
agency could accomplish. She not only
secures action in the case at hand. but
she becomes a permanent advisory in
fiuence in the homes where she visits
An Ideal Inspector.
by virtue of her room-to-room vista
ton and her opportunities for observa-
ton. the school nurse also becomes the
ideal sanitary inspector. She notes tenn
peratures. ventilation, seating, cleanli-
HESS VI TOOiIl, lciitlS, bldChDOdTuS anu
the clothes of children. Her hospital
standards of sanitation tend to follow
her into the schools.
THE school nurse is first and last a
social worker. She instructs ignorant
but fond mothers in the best methods of
feeding. clothing and caring for their
children. She is received in their homes
as no other official visitor could possibly
be. DR.. Osler does not overstate the
case when he says that the visiting
nurse is a ministering angel every
where
That the visiting nurse is a good eco
noTnic investment is evidenced by the
fact that some of the large insurance
companies find it to their advantage to
employ a number of them to visit the
homes of policyholders and give instruc-
ton in matters pertaining to hygiene De-
partment stores and factories also find it
good business to employ nurses to look
after the health of their employees and To
teach them personal hygiene.

Place for Public Meetings.

Endorsement was unanimously given the
proposition to use public school buildings
for the holding of public gatherings. DR..
Havenner. who attended the White House
conference on this subject, reported what
he had learned from that conference and
Ii was upon his recommendation that the
matter was passed

Number Required.

Tine number of school nurses needed
varies somewhat according to social CON
ditions and according to the range of du-
ties expected of them. We find all the
way from 1000 to 10000 children under
the care of one nurse. In New York city
each nurse has from two to seven
schools with a total attendance of about
1900 children. In Philadelphia five schools
and about 1900 children are usually al
lotted to one nurse, while in Boston the

proportion of nurses is almost twice as
great 1t is not improbable that the ratio
will be increased until it reaches an av-
erage of one nurse for each 1000 of the
school enrolment. If there We're one
nurse for every 5000 pupils, about 10000
nurses would be required in the entire
United States. A nurses room complete
