THE WOMEN or WHOM WE ARE
PROUD.

PROUD.
The consolidation OF the varied ac-
tir'ties Of the Nurses Settlement is an
event o; interest not only to the
| friends OF that work, but to the thou
sands who have been benefited by the
unsclnsh labors of these good women.
Hereafter the Nurses Settlement is to
be divided into three coordinate
branchcs-tho Instructive Visiting
Nurses OF tho Nurses settlement, tho
Social Workers Of the Nurses Settle
mcnt and Girls Auxiliary of the In
structivc Visiting Nurses of the Nurses
Settlement
The names arc long. but tho plan Is
simple and tho coordination Is COM
pleto. Visiting nurses. social workers
and auxiliary helpers arc AL to con-
t!nuo their work as before. TO raise
their funds by separate contributions
and 70 maintain their distinct organi-
cation. but all are TO represent ono
cause and nro to be governed by n
board composed OF representatives
from each OF the three branches.
From this viii result. we arc sure.
an Increased efficiency III each branch
of endeavor and q new consciousness
OF the unity OF social work. The nurse
who spends her time visiting the worthy
sick is 10 rcalize that her sister who
teaches in the kindergarten or labors
in the Girls Home is Inspired by the
same ideals and is toiling to like
end. The Young women who mako up
the splendid Girls Auxiliary arc 10
feel that their summer camp Is as
much a part OF the settlement as the
visiting or tho social minis,ration. \
broader view. q deeper enthusiasm
and increased success will follow this
union.
Sometimes az VIC havo written Of
this work and OF the blessing II has
brought 20 thousands. We fear we have
offended the sonsibiliues OF good
nurses whosc modcsty Is second only
70 their sacrifice. But II our readers
could stance through n brict sketch
OF the l. V n. a. prepared recently
BY Miss Mamie Minor, tho head worker
OF the settlement. they would agree
with us that in all the history OF Rich
niond there Is no more !nspiringe story

bates. OF rancor and Of bitterness, to

And how they have been blessed ;n
