The young wife who attempt

ands who feel the degradation of
marital prostitution. Married to
a real man whom she loved and
who loved her this woman would
have made a wife and mother
whose presence in the home
would have meant sunshine and
happiness. Her daring proves
that. One who can feel shame
so keenly could, under favorable
conditions, have loved tenderly.
Her act was the result of the fl
nal throes of the loathing Of the
life of legalize prostitution She

do you appreciate her environ

luxury and thus incapacitated
for life's battles she was as help
less as a babe, and when she
found the life of marital concu-

declares DR.. Ernest Bryant Hoag in
the bulletin on Organized Health
Work." just issued by the United
States bureau Of education.
Without an effective follow up ser.
vice conducted by visiting nurses,
medical inspection is ineffective. I'm
til 1908 New York city relied upon
postal cards sent to parents Of defec-
tive children, and was able to secure
action in only 6 per cent Of the cases
where treatment was recommended.
Immediately upon placing the follow
up service in the hands of school
nurses the percentage increased to "a.
"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 influence in the homes where
she visits.
by virtue Of her room-to-room Wis.,
itation and her opportunities for OBJ
servation, the school nurse also be-
comes the ideal sanitary Inspector.
She notes temperatures, ventilation,
seating, cleanliness Of room, toilets,
blackboards and the clothes of chill
dren. Her hospital standards of san
itation tend to follow her into the
schools.
THE school nurse Is first and last
a social worker. She instructs ignor-
ant but fond mothers in the best meth
DDS 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 a y that
the visiting nurse is "a ministering
angel everywhere
THAT the visiting nurse is a good
economic investment is evidenced by
the fact that some of the large insur.
ance companies find it to their advant-
age to employ a number of them to
visit the homes of policy-holders and
give instruction in matters pertain
ing to hygiene. Department store and
factories also find 1t good business to
employ nurses to look after the health
of their employees and to teach them
personal hygiene.
1.-The number of school nurses need.
ed varies somewhat according to So
cial conditions and according to the
range of duties expected of them. We
find all the way from 1000 to 10000
children under the are Of one nurse.
In New York City each nurse has from
two to seven schools, with a total at
tendance of about 1000 children. In
Philadelphia Ave schools and about
5000 children are usually allotted to
one nurse, while in Boston the proper
ton of nurses is almost twice as great.
1t Is not improbable that the ratio will
be increased until 1t reaches an aver
age Of one nurse for each 1000 Of the
school enrolment. II there were one
nurse for every 1000 pupils. about TO-
600 nurses would be required in the
entire United States. A nurses room
completely equipped Is coming to be
regarded as one Of the essentials In
every school building Of eight or more
rooms"
