Baby Clinics And Nurses Conference
Make Up Bulk Of Work
For June.

June LIST to 9Th was spent prepar-
ing for the Baby Clinics, which we're
held the week of June 9TH to 18th.
Tuesday, June 9TH was clinic day at
Chokio, "a children under years of
age we're examined. Wednesday, at
Hancock, so children we're examined;
Thursday, Alberta, sc children were
seen; Friday, at Donnelly 80 children
and Saturday at Morris there we're
IS children examined. DR.. Otto GrOe-
bner, the clinicfan, was very much
impressed by the interest shown in
the clinics and the large attendance.
On the whole the babies we're in good
condition, only two cases of acute
ricketts, were found. A great many
children were at the stage where
they need more solid food for proper
development, 9ana1" advice was given
as to the kind, and amounts that
should be given. More rest, regular
ity as to-feeding periods and fewer
lunches between meals were the prin-
ciple things stressed. Several of the
cases have, been visited since the
clinic and improvement noticed.
June 13thT to 18th was spent at a
Nurses conference held at the State
Board of Health on the University
Campus at Minneapolis. The week
was of great benefit to- all the Public
Health Nurses present, as we we're
: given an opportunity to discuss our
difficulties, and in many cases the ex-
Iperience of other nurses solved our
problems. Men and women interest
ed and experienced in Public Health
work held conferences with us and
gave us all new impetus to carry on
our work. While at the conference a
visit was paid to the Phalen Park
Hospital for Crippled Children and
the nurse saw two children from
Stevens County. Both were improv-
ing and liked the place very we'll.
June Goth to 25th was spent in
checking up the findings of the Gin
les, making follow up calls, and pre-
parations for the Household Health
Survey that is being carried on
throughout the county. This last
week has been spent making the Sur
vey and in preparation for the Dem
onstration lectures to be given next
month. The nurse finds the house to
house visits are bringing her in con-
tact with homes she has tried to visit
during the school year, but due to
weather and road conditions she was
not able to do. Besides there are
many people she is meeting for the
first time, and she feels this is put
ting her on better basis of acquain-
lance in the county. During the
month of July the Survey will be
continued and the latter part will be
ton lectures which we feel will be
very beneficial to all attending.
