PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING
What Is Being Done Along That
Line BY The Red Cross

Line BY The Red Cross
In order to teach people to be
well, get well and stay well, great
strides along the lines OF public
health nursing have been made by
the S33 Chapters in Montana, Wyom
ing, North Dakota, South Dakota.
Minnesota, Nebraska. Iowa. Wis
consin. Illinois and Michigan. the
the states comprising the Central
Division of the American Red Cross.
During last year more than 200 Of
these messengers Of health were
going their rounds constantly In CT
ties, towns, villages, scattered rural
communities, IN mountains, In min.
Ing and lumber camps. Sometimes
on foot, at times on horseback or on
snowshoes but oftener in the old
"Fliver," they made 10000 visits
for instruction, investigation and
bedside care.
No community Is too isolated for
the Red Cross nurse to reach II she
knows that she is needed. That the
people appreciate this unselfish SER
vice is shown at the time Of the an
nual Roll Call to which they re.
spond IN the heartiest kind Of man
ner. 1t Is such support that is max
ing possible the growth of public
health nursing in the Central Di-
vision. =
There Is no measuring rod which
can be applied to the accomplish
ments Of the Red Cross Pubic
Health Nursing, Service. There are
figures. to be sure, to show the
number of schools. and homes
that have been reached. the num-
Der Of sick people who have re-
ceived skilled care. the number of
children who have been set ON the
road to health. But far and beyond
any method Of Calculation Is the in
Auence the Red Cross nurses have
had In changing the manner of liv-
ing Of countless households throueh
bringing the knowledge Of health
practices out Of a realm OF abstract
science into terms Of everyday life.

Of the roads. The next morning after
leaving Clarence, where we camped,
a Detour was found over good coun-
try roads leading again to the main
highway and hard pavement into
Cedar Rapids where mail from home
was received. Camping at Boone, we
found a great flock of owls filing the
trees and were surprised that they
gave us not one sound all night. Here
on high point a portion of park
Is given over to the tourists. While in
large towns cement roads are the
rule, outside gravel is used on very
wide roads, and frequently our Ford
was speeding at 40 miles per. Dust
was in abundance, but happily, not
the promised mud.
Finding the camp at Dennison filed
we pressed on to Dow City where
delightful place under the trees in the
local park was found and here we are
Monday, July 8. We have had the
park to ourselves, done much of the
needed housework. Sunday found
work for this visiting preacher,
preaching twice and addressing a
group of young people. We note the
cordiality Of the people.
Reported floods in Nebraska may
cause us to take a northerly course
from Omeha to Yellowstone Park.
We shall be glad of a refreshing
draught of good New England water.
So far we have not found it In the
west. The water is very hard, al
most impossible to wash with. The
housewives use rainwater for that
purpose. In Michigan we found wa
ter strongly slllDhuric else where ii
contained alkali and at this place oil
is noticeable. Nor do the rivers show
that clearncss as of the ripping
streams of the east; a muddy appear
ance prevails.
Warm weather is everywhere while
even the speeding car can gather only
baked breeZes. But what of the
mountains? No doubt change
awaits us. During the past three days
at Dow the mournful notes of the
raincrow has been burdening the ear.
We would wish him far away.
