SCHOOL NURSES URGED
ASA PRESSING NEED
Monday Evening Club Takes Up
Formal Study of the
Question.
An Appropriation of $25, 900 a Year
Is Needed for Work, Members
Are Told

Following on the heels of the failure
of the House appropriations subcom-
mittee to include in the District budget
an item for the employment of school
nurses. a need provided for in the Com
missioners' estimates, the Monday
Evening Club last night formally be-
gan a study of the question in con
nection with the social service survey
in which the clubs activities will be cen
tered during the year.
Officials of the health department
and board of education declared that

spectors in the schools. The District
was charged with maintaining bad
business methods" in it's failure to pro-
vide nurses whose duty would be tc
visit defective school children in their
homes and see that they are given prop
er medical attention.
District Health Officer William G
Woodward presided at the meeting
which was held i'm the Public Library
The clubs membership has increased te
such an extent that the former meeting
place, in the Y. M. c. A. assembly hall
was found inadequate.
Welcomed by DR.. Bowerman.
DIR. George W. Bowerman. librarian OF
the Public Library, welcomed the mem
bers to the new quarters. In the absence
of Louis P. Merriam. secretary, President
Nesbit designated Myron Jermain Jones
to record the proceedings.
The first speaker was Dr. J. W
Schereschewsky of the United states pup.
lie health service. who briefly recounted
the origin and development of medica
inspection in the schools. He said that
if the state. is to furnish education to
children it also should see that they are
able to take advantage of it. About "
per cent of the pupils in the public instr
tutons of learning, DR.. Schereschewsky
said. are defective to some extent. A
proper inspection system, supplemented
by the activities of nurses and clinics
will. he predicted, greatly reduce the
number of defective children and also re-
duce the number of inefficient members
of society in years to come.
Ernest L. ThurSton, assistant superin-
tendent of schoo s, and w. Il. Patterson

and Miss Flora l.. HendIey, supervising
principals, indorsed the need of school
nurses and more effective school hygiene
The former pointed to the fact that the
present inspection is inadequate, as there
are but ten inspectors TO LOOK after 5O,G0O
children. He said that every mentally
or physically defective pupil weakens the
class in which he is enrolled, and express
ed the belief that the employment of
nurses to visit the homes of such pupils
ana see that they are properly cared for
would result in greatly improving health
conditions in the school

The advantages to the army of the

his observation of the work of his di-

1.-The result of four months concentra-
ton in camp says Gen. Carter, has
been to Undue the units of the I'd Di-
vision with esprit de corps, which, while
based upon peace performance, needs
only active service to prove it's depth
and value. The experience from day to
day will make and leave upon the minds
of officers and men impressions of means
and methods that will stand them in good
stead in the years to come. Approved
