Interesting and Instructive Address by
 Miss Psyche Webster
Feature of Pareat. Teachers Meeting

The postponed meeting of the Parent Teacher Association was held Monday evening, April 1G, at the high school hall. An address by Miss Psyche Webster on Public Health Nursing was the feature of the evening. Miss Webster proved that from an economic standpoint alone Putnam should have . public health nurse.
 She said in psrA as follows: The work of nurse In tho school is inval. usble In recognizing contagious dis eases in she early stsges and prevent. ing the spreading Of the disease. Rec koning the value of . child's time in school st . rate of s25 per year, the cost of an epidemic Of measles in . family of three children If quarantine Is observed, would probably mean the three children would have to repeat the years work end . consequ uent loss Of S75 which Is sufficient to pay the salary of . nurse for one month. This does not take ipto account the loss of time of other members of the family, or complications which may srise from the disease and prevent the child from becoming sn enicient citizen.
 Every child is infected with tuoer. culosis once before twelve years of age. Is It right to eqaire . child by law to attend school and not safeguard his health in every way possible.
 As . result of Miss Webstsr's talk the association voted to appoint . com' mistee to draw up . working plan, to present to other organizations of the city which would lead to . public nurse for Putnam.
