ing nurse and superintendent Of settle
ment for the Civic League at meet
ing OF, the board Of directors Wednes-.
day afternoon, at the Office Of Presi-
dent Bergheim. Miss Baker comes
very highly recommended and the
leag1e considers itself fortunate in Sc
curing her services.
Mrs. F. G. Ruth has for many years
had charge of the settlement work and
did great deal Of charitable work to
the entire satisfaction Of the league
but in view Of the fact that nurse
has now been engaged permanently 1t
was deemed best to combine the office
of nurse and superintendent of settle
ment work. No volunteer workers will
thus be needed except to assist the
nurse in making her work successful
here.
d" Mrs. G. H. Brown, who was dele
gate from the league to the annual con
yention of the Minnesota State Fedora
ton of Women s Clubs, held here re-
cently,gave report Of that meeting.

of securing an invalid wheel chair
from the railroad administration to be
used at the depot had been taken up
with the Administration but that owing
to present conditions the chair cannot
be secured in the immediate future.
Val. E. Kasparek reported that he
had cleaned up the parks and that he
had been very successful IN getting
them in proper shape.
Mrs. Julius Jetka, Mrs. Warren Glib
son and Mrs. G. Rosenmeier were ap-
pointed as a committee to solicit mem
berships for the league. The member
ship fee is SO cents a year and it was
felt that there should be no difficulty
in adding large number Of members
to the roster.
Tuesday evening, Nov. 4, was fixed
as the time for the annual league meet
ing. The board Of directors will meet
the previous day.
The league decided to accept the re-
quest of the Minnesota Health Associ-
alton to assume the sale of Red Cross
Christmas Seals and Mrs. R. D. Musser
was instructed to notify the association
to send the league $1,000 worth of
seals, committee On the sale of same
to be appointed later.
A vote Of thanks was extended to
Dell Batters for assisting in cleaning
up the lot next to the Standard Oil
company's filing station, for park pur7
poses.
= Miss Baker, the visiting nurse, was
authorized to take charge of the
classes in nursing in the public schools
of this city if such classes are organ
lied.
The president was instructed to write
the board of education and request an
appropriation for the visiting nurse in
the same amount as last year.
