NURSES ENACT DRAMA
AS A DEMONSTRATI0I
Settlement Life and Work and
Advent of New Baby
Made Realistic

A bit of settlement life. where the advent
Of new baby s as important event a.
anywhere else. was realistically portrayed by
members of the Visiting Nurse Society In a {
demonstration at the Medico-C hrurgical Hos
pital yesterday afternoon.
with one of the visiting nurses as Nhe 4
settlement mother" and baby-sized doll
as the infant. n rather pathetic and yet
humorous drama was presented.
visiting nurse was called by one Of the
big-heartod nelghbors, the demonstration
depicted. and she taught the mother ana the
older child how to bathe the new baby and
to feed t. s
This and other demonstrat tions during the
afternoon were given under the auspices OF
the Red Cross and the Philadelphia League OF
Nursing Education to interest the girls who
are completing their high school courses this
year In the profession of nursing
As explained by Miss Katherine Tucker,
superintendent of the Visiting Nurse Society
the work OF the visiting nurses Is threefoid.
First. the nurse goes into the home to cure
and to care for the patient. Second, she goes
as teacher TO instruct the family in hy-
gienC so that further disease may be avoided
And in addition to these tasks. she Is sup
posed to add social service work
Because much Of the visiting nurses work
Is among the poorer classes she Is expected
to investigate the living conditions and to do
as much possible to better them. All this
was cleverly illustrated in the playlet, which
the nurses presented before a large audience
Student nurses from the Methodist Hospf-
tai showed how patients should he bandaged
for various wounds. Such difficult tasks as
turning mattress with the patient in bed
were demonstrated by students from Hahne-
mann Hospital, and nurses from the Presby-
terrain Hospital showed how to prepare pa
tients for the porch. Brief talks were given
by Miss :. Lillian Clayton. president of the
National League OF Nursing Education. and
Miss Elizabeth Hatfield Schnabel
Pennsylvania Is calling for 5000 recruits for
