sd CROSS WINNING
IN FIGHT FOR HEALTH
Setter. Stronger Citizenry Now
Emerging Out of Work in
United States.

The American Red Cross rs IN
e~vargclis, of better health has looked
IT'S problem square in the face. How
t accepted the task revealed to 1t IN
lie nations physical condition as
brought out during the World War,
anl conscicntiously applied its activi-
ties to correction forms a vivid chap
Ter in the forthcoming annual report.
Historically and practically, nursing Is
a basic work for the Red Cross. In Its
public health nursing service, in In
strucbion in home hygiene and cart of
the sick, nutrition classes, first aid
and Life saving courses and health cen
tiers, fhe American Red Cross Is ap-
plying effectually the lessons learned
during the war and making for &
healthier, stronger and better our
ished %cltizenry.
The task of the Red Cross Public
Health nurse in the 1910 nursing serv-
Ices now operating throughout the
country in%structing their communities
in health essentials and disease pre-
vention is demonstrating the possibili-
ties of human betterment and the great
benefits Of enlightenment
During the last year 313 new public
health nursing services were establish
ed by Red Cross Chapters, and several
hundred services SC convinclngly prov
ed their effectiveness that they were
taken over by public authorities. In
order to promote this work $4,000 was
allotted to provide women to prepare
themselves for public nursing. The
home visits made by the 1,240 nurses
aggregated nearly 100000, visits to
schools numbered 100000, and in six
months 100000 school children were
inspected by these nurses and where
defects were found advised examina-
ton by physicians. In rural commu-
mites this service has made a very
marked advance and has won thou
sands of converts to approved methods
Of disease prevention.
In home hygiene and care OF the sicE
instruction, which fits the student In
methods of proper care where Illness Is
not so serious as to require profess
sional service, the Red Cross conduct
ed 1854 classes during the last year,
enrolled 1856 instructors, 93,44S STU
dents and issued 42,656 certificates.
On June 80, 1922, nutrition service
embraced 1,199 classes, with a total OF
81, 523 children and 1850 enrolled dieti-
tians. Seventy-eight food selection
classes graduated 1873 who received
Red Cross certificates. In general
health activities Red Cross Chapters
maintained 81 health centers, serving
lis many communities, provided 3S,1o1
health lectures for large audiences ev-
erywhere, while clinics numbered v e
10000.
