Miss Doyle, the District Nurse, in
response to DIR. Fell's inquiry, re-
ported that the rooms at the hospital
now provided for the work of the Free
Oispensary We're most satisfactory.
There will, of course, be a regular
schedule for discrimination of tu-
berculosis patients, perhaps a day in
each week will be appointed for such
work, and at such times the rooms
will be supervised and in charge of
the Nurse. DR.. Fell inquired what
apparatus, supplies, etc. would be
necessary for the equipment of the
Dispensary. Miss Doyle reported
that a scale would be necessary, also
screen, stethoscope, file for record
of patients, etc. Miss Doyle was
most sanguine in regard TO having all
of the necessary equipment donated
when the needs of the Association in
this respect were made known, and
the work of the dispensary really
started up, which will be as soon as
the carpentry work is completed.
Miss Doyle reported that through
the kindness of Paymaster Mayer
such food as may be left over daily
on the Station Ship at the Naval
Academy is at her disposal for the
re lief of patients needing the same.
She sends to the ship daily at 6
o'clock and reports that in this way
she is able TO help many needy per-
sons Mr.. Randall moved that the
entire report of the Nurse be filed,
and the hearty approval of the Asso-
citation be givfn Miss Doyle for the
very able manner in which she has
discharged her duties as Nurse.
This was .conded and passed.
Dr.. Fell referred to the city ordi-
nance in regard to governing of the
water supply in residences, ETC., and
reported that on Vansant street
there are five houses without water
supply, sewerage, etc. The insani-
tary conditions existing there were
discussed at length, and it was sug-
gested that the Association might
properly investigate the matter on
account of the existence of such con-
ditious, and the secretary was directed
to address letter to the Mayor on
the subject. Mr.. Smiley asked to
make an amendment to the motion to
include Johnson Place also, where
similar conditions exist. DR.. Fell
spoke of the need of a compulsory ed
ucation law throughout Anne Arun-
del county, which would protect the
children, keeping them out of the can
neries, etc. This was discussed at
length in connection with the pro-
priety and desirability of this Asso-
citation taking steps tU secure proper
Legislation on the subject Mr.. Ran
dali suggested that the School Board
of Anne Aru ldel County was perhaps
the proper body to take action in
this matter. 1t was decided that at
the next meeting a committee would
be appointed on legislation to cover
such matters.
In this connection Miss DOYLE
stated that she wsuld invite Miss
Herkner, of the Bureau of Statistics,
to come before the Association at it's
next meeting to give an account of
the compulsory education law now in
force in the larger cities of the
State, etc. This suggestion was ap-
proved by all present. Miss Doyle
wished to know if there is any pro-
vision of Law that would protect the
property of the Association loaned to
her patients, if such patient should
be distrained on for rent. She has
lost quite a few of her supplies in
this manner. Mr.. Randall suggested
that there is no provision of law
which would at present do so, as
everything in the house at the time,
no matter whose property it may be,
is covered by the warrant.
Miss Doyle reported that the
Loan Closet is at present well sup
piled with necessary articles, but
that she is very much in need of
some articles of clothing for children
from fourteen months to twelve
years of age. She is also desirous of
securing a quantity of tar paper
with which to make a house habit
able for the winter months.
A report of the committee on Sc
curing or providing means for the
furtherance OF the work of which
Mrs. Gage is chairman, was called
for. Mrs. Gage and the other mem
bers of the committee being absent,
there was no report Miss Doyle
was instructed to take a verbal mes
sage to Mrs. Gage, requesting that
she furnish a report for the next
meeting in regard to what form of
entertainment had been decided on in
order to raise funds to carry on the
work.
DR.. Henkel moved that large COM
mittee be appointed to take up the
matter of the sale Of Tuberculosi is
Stamps. Mrs. Douw volunteered to
place the matter before the Civic
League, and to ask for their active
cooperation in this matter, which
she was asked to do, and to give a
report of her success at the next
meeting.
Dr.. Henkel suggested that it
would probably arouse interest if the
annual report be published and cireu-
lated about the first of January. Mr..
Smiley suggested that if the repors
were to be issued in December in
stead of January that more interest
would probably be aroused, as.i would
| then be before the people. while they
