one can readily see that large
amount OF clerical work Is necessary.
The morning of each day Of the week
is spent in the various school Duud-
ings and the follow-up work IS done
as the nurses make their rounds IN
the district.
.'Of the 531 patients in the distrlct
that were under our care, Us were
paid for by the metropolitan Lie IN
surance company, sc paid individually
and part of the remaining S67 were
paid for by business firms who fur-
nish this nursing service for their en-
ployes as part compensation for tnelr
labor. Those who were not paid for
in this way were carried as free cases
as nursing the sick poor IN tneir
homes is the prime object OF the vlsic-
ing nurse. For this reason the pay
cases are appreciated as 1t supports
the work AND, helps keep the service

"About year ago the subject of In

Early in the year arrangements were

the absence may be caused by sickness
or any member of the family. A num-
her OF other wholesale merchants and
manufacturers, beside these enumera-
ted. give the nursing service to their
employees, but report to the ONCE AT
the Y. w. G. A., rather than have the
rurses call them on the phone.
During the year the nurses nave

carried forward the following ilnes OF
work: District nurving, school nurs-

work and tubercular work.

,nfa n welfare Work.

AThe infant welfare work has been
enlarged during the year and It's sue
cess has been very marked. Only one
baby under the care OF the nur ses mas
died and that from an acute disease
The babies have grown and gained IN
na, satisfactory way showing that the
mothers with the aid OF the nurses
have solved the problem of the care
and feeding of their babies. The
trrbercular work deserves special men
zion Owing to the large proportion
OF colored people in our city populaa-
ton, and because they as race are
pre-disposed to this disease, we nave
MANY tubercular patients. we nave
tried to teach the means of prevent
ing this disease and to care Tor those
afflicted with it.
"If It were possible to establish a
hospital for the care of tuDercuiar
patients, where they would not spread
the disease, in time this city wouio
be free from this danger. This one
disease has cost Keokuk in the last
twenty years. as statistics show, 55o
lives and more than million dollars
in money This is preventable dis
ease and this loss Of life and money
is unnecessary.
"we hope that eventually this visit
ing nurse work will not be supporter
bv philanthropy, but will be recog-
nized as public need. Just as public
education is recognized as a public
need"
