mothers and found everywhere an
eager desire for information. These
towns are small and many miles apart.
Often the nearest physician was $50
miles away. Usually patients were
taken in to the doctor or advice was
given over the telephone. In a section
of such vast distances it is important
for the people to have some under
standing of first aid and some knowl-
edge of hygiene.
Saved Life of Child.
In one town where the worker was
staying a message came that a child
near by was very i'll and the nurse
was asked to go and look at him. The
mother thought that probably he was
suffering from stomach ache as the
result of overindulgence in grren ap~
pies. The nurse, however, had a diff
ferent opinion and suspected ii rup
tured appendix. The child was taken
to a hospital $50 miles away, where
an operation saved his life.
Another child hurt his leg while
playing, but it was not thought that
the injury was serious. However,
when it did not improve as quickly as
could be ordinarily expected, the
advice of the nurse was sought.
She thought that there might be
green stick fracture and applied first
aid splints. The child was then taken
40 miles to physician. Another
emergency case was a broken collar
bone. The nurse was able to apply
firstaid so that the patient might
travel the necessary 80 miles to doc
tor.
Whenever a clinic was held chill
dren were brought in from distances
Of Is and 20 miles. This was par
ticularly true of the toxin antitoxin
clinics. At one Of these clinics one
f1ivver brought ii people-three
adults and IL children. In an
other town the leading merchant
donated his truck, which made trips
to all the outlying districts, bringing
in the children. 1t is a section Of
large families. Seven or eight chill
dren is a small family.
Permanent Workers Go There.
The object of all this work was to
show the value of enlightened modern
health education, particularly in so far
as mothers and babies are concerned,
for people in rural communities where
the medical and nursing facilities are
more or less inadequate. A result
of this work iS that noxt wear norma
nent workers are to be established In
this section.
Miss Marie T. Phelan, who was CO.
operating with state nurses, was away
nearly four months and in that time
was in Minnesota, Nebraska, Utah,
New Mexico, Nevada and South Caro-
lima. In New Mexico the work con
sisted largely of conducting classes
for midwives, who are usually Span
ish-Americans speaking very little
English. She says that these women
learn amazingly quick, considering
their limited English.
In South Carolina she attended an
institute for nurses and assisted the
nurse in charge with the examina-
tiOn of midwives, who had been at
tending classes. Most of these were
negroes, and some of the replies made
to questions asked were very amusing
When one was asked regarding the eff
feet of the mothers diet upon the
child she replied: Green vegetables
stick their bones together
