ed Fairgrounds for the whole
some mental diversion, and
physical direction of its chill
drcn, and an adequate deten-

which the county should begin at
once to make preparations to fill.
in anticipatiUm of the growth of
population, and increasing social
problems that may otherwise be-
come serious burdens. She believes
that the work done by the COmmlln-
ity House in teaching unfortunate
mothers how to car for themselves
and children should he continued
in this city in Il building owned by
the town. and that the county should
own its detention home. where M
fortunate children of all the county
may he trained as useful and happy
citizens.
Supervised Fairgrounds. and the
community house she believes to be
the most important needs at pre-
Scut: but adds that the county
should hire public health nurse. In
her opinion. Il public health nurse
would prove valuable in working
hand in hand with the Welfare Of
