MISS BECKNER LEAVES FRIDAY
City Special Nurse on Social Diseases
to Organize Clinics.

Nlty Special Nurse on Social Diseases
to Organize Clinics.
Miss Pearl Beckner. who resigned
recently as special nurse with the city
health department to enter the United
states public health service, will leave
Friday for Kansas City, Kan, to or
ganize similar clinics in Hutchinson
and other cities in the state Her sue
cessor here has not yet been named,
Commissioner Robert McGiffert said
Miss Beckner, who has been work
ing under venereal disease division of
the state board of health since July
1919, was sent here in October, 1918,
and in cooperation with DR.. Earle G.
Brown, city health officer, organized
a clinic for the treatment of women.
Her services since that time have been
invaluable to the city health depart
ment and the city in general. During
her period of service here she has ex-
amined 271 girls and women, and in
vestigated many other cases.
Graduating as a nurse in 1911, Miss
Beckner went to work imm ediately
for the United States public health
service at Leavenworth in 1917. In
July. 1919, she entered the service of
the state board of health and was
sent to Eldorado, from whence she
came to Topeka. She expects to be
in Kansas City eight or ten weeks.
Miss Beckner declares that among
the girls who come under her super
vision are two classes-the hard
boiled variety. who are deliberately
leading a life of prostitution. and the
more unfortunate but well-meaning
class, who have 'sidestepped" thru
ignorance or misfortune. The latter
kind, she declares. are the only ones
who can ordinarily be reformed. At
tempting to force reform upon a girl,
she says. usually brings results just
the opposite of those desired.
The clinic established here will be
retained in charge of another nurse.
Commissioner McGiffert said he does
not know whom he will appoint to the
place.

Atlantic Ararnada Arriues In NesU York

Mid the cheers and flag waving OF

up the Hudson after cruising in South
