PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEY OF MO- RENCl ENDS WITH WELL AT TENDED DEMONSTRATION
 CLINIC

That the Demonstration Clinic con ducted during the past two weeks in Morenci will be of great benefit to the community is the opinion of the Public Health Committee under whose auspices the survey and clinic were conducted. During the past ten days four hundred mothers, babies and children have attended the clinic and have received valuable instruc- tion from the physicians of Morenci who have given gratuitously their services to the clinic. Babies and children have been weighed and mea- .sured and examined and defects point d out to the parents with recommend ations for future care of the children.
 The necessity for Nationwide work of this nature is evidenced by the fact of the 10000 babies and children who die each year, 63 per cent of them die during the first month <of life. It is the ,concensus of opinion of the physicians of the nation that this great loss of life could be pre- vented were it possible to insure the right care and instruction for pros pective mothers. A vital part of the work Of tho modern Public Health Nurse is tc visit the homes of these mothers and impart tv them the ne- cessary knowledge for the safeguard ing of the mothers health and the life of the baby The great demand for Public Health Nurses and the in ~creasing Tvn;bsr of nursas employed by Gem n,EHitie.; and schools shows an :; awsGsened end growing interest in this W :. rf prevention Of sickness and thN coI.se-v- ten of life.

 There must be at least the follow ing seven types of highly qualified persons in this field: the physician, the nurse, the bacteriologist, the cpl demiologist, the engineer, the stats tician, and the social worker, and in larger communities the trained ad minstrator or executive.
