Duties Public Health
Nurse Outlined by Miss
SOule of State Dept.

With a view to the Introduction OF
public health nurse in this city. the
directors of the Augusta Public
Health Association met Monday
evening a. the y. NJ. c. A. and lis
tened with great interest to a fine
talk on this subject by Miss Edith
Soule. r. N, director of the Division
of Public Health Nursing and Child
Hygiene of the State Department of
Health.
Miss Soule outlined tho work
which must be done by the Associa-
ton if a public health nurse is to
be secured and said that they must
not think that when the nurse ar
rived, their work was done. AS n
matter of fact the work would then
be but beginning as no nurse would
want to go ahead in this work with
out frequently consulting with the
proper committee of the Association.
1t would be necessary to have a
nursing committee of at least five
members who would be able to con-
suit with her at frequent intervals.
This committee should be composed
of people who are interested in the
work and who know the people of
the city so that they may help her
G. ablish points of contact with the
people who will further the work.
There is no set rule for the forma-
ton of the committee, the commit
tee being formed to suit tn individ-
ual needs of the town.
This committee can also get in
touch with the various organizations
from which they may expect help
so that aid may be secured when a
case comes up where the family is
unable to pay for the services of
TIL nurse. as Miss Soule advocated
the payment of fees at all times
where possible, so that no one should
get the idea of public health nurs-
ing as charitable work.
Miss Soule said that the nurse
must be a graduate nurse of good
training and that one such as this
could not be secured for much less
than $500. Beside the salary there
would be the necessity of transport
tation, Office rent and about 5000.
for other places In many places
arrangements have been made with
the street railways so that the pub
lis health nurse is supplied with
pass, thus materially cutting down
the expense of transportation. A
private Office, where a patient may
talk without fear of being over
heard is also a necessity. be 1t ever

Alderman Scribner moved that the
question Of buying an asphalt side
walk in front Of the residence Of
Mrs. Elizabeth s. Haines on State
street, the city to pay half the costs,
was referred to the committee on
streets and sewers. A letter was
received from Mrs. Haines sating
that she intended to build such a
walk and asked the city to pay half
Of the costs.
The committee of fire department
was ordered to investigate the need
of repairs and alterations at the At
lantic street hose house and to sub
nit Il report at the next meeting.
Alderman Scribner stated that the
las city government had passed an
order that the Kennebec bridge be
painted, but that this had never been
done and the bridge was badly in
need of a coat of paint so his order
to have this work done was referred
to the committee Of highways and
sewers.
An order presented by Alderman
Chase approving the payment of SAL
| aries of the school department for the
| month of March up to the April
| meeting was approved.

The Passion Play
Pictured Lecture
at st. Mary's Hall

The members OF 81. MARY PARISH
and friends were afforded a rare
treat, Monday evening, when they
listened to and observed an Illus
strated lecture upon'the PASSION Piay
of Oberammergau, Bavaria. Rev.
John J. Sullivan of Lisbon Falls,
who saw the Passion Play when it
was last presented, told the story of
this world-known and world-revered
play, it's origin. its growth and his
impression OF it all.
The lecture was greatly enhanced
by Stereoptican slides, depicting
scenes from the play, giving CLOSE
ups" of the chief actors and driving
home the wonderful story and pur-
port of the play.
Rev. Father Sullivan recalled,
early in his lecture. that q good
many years ago he read the Stod-
dard lecture upon the Passion Play
and he wished at that time that he
might see the play. Every ten years
at Oberammergau. a little town in
Bavaria. the Passion Play is given.
Its history Is an interesting one. In
1888 the play was first presented as
fultfllment of VOW which the
people made. upon being released
from a terrible plague. The play
has grown from a small production
in a small ulace to a cast of 1000.
including 80 men and IS women as
principal characters: also 400 chill
dren; trained choir of fifty male
voices and an orchestra Of IS pieces,
Since 1910. the Passion Play has
been presented in a wonderful thea
tire which has been especially con-
structed for that purpose. The viii
lage of Oberammergau is in a beau
tiful valley with the Bavarian Alps
surrounding it. On high noun
tain is cross and along the high
ways and byways are crosses and
crucifixes. which serve as constant
reminders of the faith and piety of
the world. The people there are so
sincere and devout. it is a delight to
meet them. What makes the Pas
sion Play so successful? The de-
won't and reverential manner of
playing by the men of high spiritu-
ality.
Starting from the opening chorus,
Father Sullivan then took his aud
fence. with the aid of the steriopti-
can slides. through the story of tho
play. The actual photographs OF
the actors. gave the audience an OPP
portunity to appreciate the wonder
iul CIdIdCteT ueplCtiIlS, the reVer-
ence and the devoutness which was
shown in their countenances.
Included in the slides were the
scenes; Fall of Adam and Eve; Ad-
Grafton of the Cross. showing the
children kneeling: Christ Rebuking
the merchants in the Temple; the
High Priests: Jesus and His Mother;
the Last Supper, copied from de
Vinci's famous painting; Judas
leaving the Supper; Judas Before
the High Priest; Christ in Gethsem-
ane: Judas Kissing Christ; Christ
before Pilot and Herod: Mother
Mary Comforting Christ on the way
to the Cross: Descent from the
Cross; the Resurrection; the Assem-
sion.
The afternoon showing took place
in the hall and the evening showing
took place in the church as the cell
ing downstairs was too low to afford
ample Accommodations for the pic
lures. Following the evening lee
ture. a radio concert was enjoyed in
the hall, with Earl Church at the
radio. A meeting of the men of the
Holy Name Society, was also held
after the lecture.

cabinet and writing equipment being

1t was not thought advisable at
this time to decide whether a pub
lie health nurse should be secured
or not, but another meeting was
called for next Monday evening,
March 20, at 1880 o'clock at the Y.
M. C. A. at which time q larger
crowd is expected to be present and
the question may be decided.
At the meeting last night, how
ever, a nominating committee Of
which Mrs. Llmore Is the chairman
was appointed to nominate five
members to serve on the nursing
committee. A committee Of which
Mrs. e. p. Noyes Is chairman was
also appointed tp form sub commit
tees and look after a campaign for
members for the association.
