PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING.

MISS caro- MCLEOD mas Dee-i Sell
by the State Board of Health to dc
Public Health work in Dillon count!
and she comes highly recommended
She is native of Lee county where
she has large and prominent family
connection, land she also has a num-
Der of relatives in Dillon county
Besides long experience in private
nursing, she served as head nurse
III the Mcclure Hospital at Bishop
vile, and after a special course in
Public Health Nursing in Richmond,
Va, she did this work at the Lock
hart Mills for fifteen months just
previous TO coming to Dillon.
The State Board of Health now
has the supervision of special Public
Health work in seven counties, Dill
loRa being the latest of these to be-
gin. The movement was launched a.
the spring meeting of the County
Federation of Women's Clubs, when
the proposition was made by the Stata
Board of Health that a nurse would
be furnished for several months to
introduce the work, provided the
county pay for her transportation.
The necessary steps to secure this
suit that Miss MsLeod came TO Dill
Ion in August and has already L.2de
a good beginning in the work.
Public Health Nursing in rural
districts is SO new il thought as well
as in deed that few nurses have given
it serious consideration and the ru
ral people themselves scarcely know
of its existence.
The lesson that the people must
responsible for its sickness and its
death rate, and that air, sunshine,
and water were given for use and
not for exclusion. They should be.
made to realize that they ought to
be the apostles of preventive medi-
cine, for every spell of sickness low
ers the resistive power.
The requirements Of the rural
nurse are many. She must be able
to cooperate with every one; men
and women, rich and poor alike have
a part in this work. Always her influ-
tsnce can grow with all classes; for in
stance, she can get the people to-
gether, both young and old, and build
up the permanent health Of the Coun-
ty by talks on right living. She can
tell the women where to obtain free
travelling libraries, to whom to apply
for programs and program material
for club work; she can talk TO COM
munity clubs and then will come the
Tn nI the
the harmfulness of children's diseas-
es, the way to prepare school lunch
es the prevention of blindness and
the destruction of bacteria.
When il comes to the medical in
spection of schools, she rises in her
might. She assists the doctor in his
examinations, explains his findings
to the parents, and urges the family
tn consult a specialist about the more
serious cases.
One of the most important attri-
butes of the school nurse is the VIII
fngness to work for the JOY OF ac-
complishment. even if the credit Tor
that accomplishment be gathered III
at some other door than her own.
She also plays an important part IN
bringing about close cooperation oe-
tween the department Of health and
education in the county l. "hlch she
is wol king Cooperation must be the
keynote Of the school nurses work
if she hopes &, to reach the highest
possible plane of achierement-co-
Operation which has for its only OBJ
ject the physical betterment OF the
child.

Senator Dial seems to have made a
"killing" with the newspaper CORE
spondents over in Washington, espe-
cially~ those of our papers down in
this neck of the woods. He gets
"played up" nearly every day. 1t
may be that he is doing big things
up in Washington, and we hope that
he is, but we sometimes wonder what
has become of "Cotton" Smith, and
if we have any congressman over
there from down in South Carolina.
Mr.. Dial seemed to be the only one
who had anything to do with the ap-
pointment of judge, and he was
satisfied that he had done the right
thing after he looked over the list of
applicants, and that is something
worth while. And we reckon he was
right.
And we notice that he is going to
have something done about these
postmastership appointments down
here that have been held up so long.
And really just the other day there
were several appointments sent IN.
Newberry will have attention very
soon, we suspect.

We take pleasure in extending our
Fluctuations to Congressman Lever
on his promotion to membership in
the farm loan board, that is, if it is
really promotion. There is bet
ter salary, and in these times that
counts for much. There is a longer
term, and that is something. But
somehow we hate to see Mr.. Lever
leave congress. And the way in
which the people Of his district voted
for him in the last primary he seems
to have been very much favorite
down in his district. At any rate we
wish him mighty we'll wherever he
may be, and we know that he will do
his duty in whatever position he may
be placed.

WELCOME SOLDIER BAND

(By Samuel Patrick Koon.)
Welcome, welcome, soldier band,
Coming over peaceful seas;
Welcome tu your native land,
Free and healthful as the breeze;
Day which all have longed to see,
Day which makes the nations free;
While the graceful seasons roll,
Peace and rest to every soul.
Welcome to this holy place,
Sacred to our fathers God;
Welcome to his blessed face,
Standing where the saints have trod
Here is friendship, peace and love,
Here is grace from God above;
Come before the mercy seat,
Hun1bly worship at his feet.
Welcome, welcome, home again,
Where the war has cast a gloom;
Welcome faithful noble men,
Welcome to your childhood home;
Here is mother, father true,
Here is sister, brother too;
Meet the loved ones at the door,
Dwell with them forever more.

and see just how we isok.
If the golden rule was properly ap-
piled and lived by I'll Of US there
would be no problems that we would
have to wrestle with, because they
would solve themselves.
Whenever you come to deal with
your fellowman in any capacity, make
an honest effort to put yourself in
his place, and then ask yourself hon
estly how you would like to be treat
ed if positions were reversed and you
will not go far wrong in your deal
ings if you are honest with yourself
The best test and the surest way
to know just how you would feel il
you were in the other fellows place
is to do as this Ohio manufacturer
did, and then you will know from ex'
perience something of what the 9th
er fellow feels. But in order to DC
this thing properly we must strive
hard and honestly to overcome the
old self which holds sway and com
pletely dominates most Of US.

THE SOLUTION OF THE SOCIAL.
PROBLEMS.

All sorts of elaborate means are
proposed for solving the contests be-
tween labor and capital, but too often
the one essential method is forgotten,
perhaps because of it's simplicity. An
Ohio manufacturer recently arrived
at the conclusion that it was the best
possible solution after he had investi-
gated the matter in novel way.
Theodore Knappen, as: summarized
i'm the Presbyterian Banner, tells
how he Doomed overalls the day af-
ter the armistice was signed and lived
the life of common laborer for the
next five months. He went to Pitts
burg, put up at working mans
boarding house, stood in line waiting
for employment at a steel mill until
he got it and then did the work of a
common laborer day after day. His
purpose was to view the labor prob
lem from the bottom up. His gen
eral conclusion was that good
steady job,> good pay, and decent,
human treatment are the desiderata
with laboring men. Very few of them
entertain grandiose ideas of reform
ing industry by fundamental legisla.
ton. He didn't encounter single
Bolshevist and met few socialists
The Golden Rule is his remedy fol
labor and capital troubles. THE
Lutheran.
This is the best solution for most
any of the troubles that we have II
this world. If every one who employs
labor, and every one who is employ
ed, would at various and sundry
times endeavor honestly to place him
self in the other fellows place, anc
ask himself how he would like to be
treated if positions we're reversed
and ask himself the question honest
" and truly, and answer it in the
same way, most of the problems tina
we have would be solved, and solved
righteously and justly and withou
any trouble.
The truth is, the golden rule is thu
only true and right rule by which t
regulate human conduct, but the
trouble is that most Of US are too
selfish to apply it properly and right
ly.
What we all need to do is to stant
on the corner every now and taeI
