Miss Adamson Guest of Rotary

John F. Mcclure, manager of the
Northern States Power Co. read the
weekly paper at the Monday luncheon
Of the Minot Rotary, calling attention
to the fact that Byllesby stock makes
mighty fine investment.
Miss Adamson, the new Ward
County Red Cross school nurse, was
guest and delivered an interesting
address, calling attention to the work
which she plans on doing. Mothers
are to be given course in plain nurs
ing and special work is to be done
with the children. Many Of the
homes are to be visited. Miss
Adamson gave figures showing a
physical defect in a very large per-
centage of our young folks, many of
which may be corrected if attended
early in life. In very large per-
centage Of cases where students
fail to make their grades, it has been
found that the cause was some physi-
cal ailment. This is an important
work and Rotary has pledged Miss
Adamson its hearty support.
