port has increase from 30 per cent to 49 per cent.
 ''For two years now the actual cost of visit has been lowered from SPA in 1926 to s1.14 in 1928 and to s1.05 in 1928. The organization has not yet charged the full cost of a visit to pay patients, except to those having the so-called hourly service, yet, because of the careful records and cost studies which are made each year the insurance companies pay the full cost of nursing visit to their policy holders and the organi- zation record of self support is in direct proportion to the increase in fees received from the insurance companies.
 "The ability of the organization to make such strides toward independ- ence would appear to completely justify the increased size of the staff, the improved salary adjustment, ad- ded supervision, and clerical assist ance, and the maintenance of four Dodge automobiles for the outlying sections of the city.
 Child Welfare Division
 By particular services, the child welfare division of the organization showed an increase in attendance at the well baby conferences by 13 per cent. S,551 visits to the four con- ferences were made by babies and their mothers during the year against S,151 the previous year. The average attendance per conference, however, dropped from ? babies to IT. which though small cannot be said to be wholly satisfactory.
 "The home visits to we'll babies, however, showed marked in crease; 3,S6S having been made against 1,174 the preceding year. That number more nearly approach es a good minimum standard of one visit to every well baby every month until he is one year old and then every three months until he goes to school, unless he is attending a pre- school conference, or is under the care of a doctor.
 "For the first time in the history of New Britain, organized effort was made in the summer of 1929 to offer free physical examinations to all children who were going to enter school in the. fall. The local Parent and Teachers association in con- junction with the state department of health. a few local doctors and the visiting nurses conducted 16 clinics, examined 697 children and found 2,S79 defects of variable ser iousness. The visiting nurses made 1898 visits to the children's homes, or an average of two visits per child to assist in securing the indi- cated corrections. 52S of the chill dren were said to have had their condition improved. while 169 en- tered school without any improve men or correction.
 "The cost of that service rendered by the Visiting Nurse association was determined to be s1,959.66 al- though it was given freely as a con- | tribution to the health work of the community. (By way of comment the pre-school medical examinations were conducted this year by the school medical department without outside assistance).

 "I regret that I cannot also re- port increased attendance at de- liveries in the homes; 146 deliveries attended is the total for the year. against 142 last year. I cannot find a satisfactory explanation for this.
 Nurses Standards Raised "In May 1929 requirements for staff appointment were raised to make graduation from an accredited high school obligatory in addition to graduation from recognized school of nursing. Raising the standards was not retroaction and the six nurses already on the staff, who did not meet the new high school re- quirements were retained. It was urged. however. that they should at tempt to complete their high school at their earliest opportunity. In con- sequence. three staff nurses and two substitute nurses did make the at tempt to go to Hartford evening high school, but only two were able to complete their work and qualify for their first state examination this spring One other staff nurse has at- tended business college in Hartford regularly during the winter.
 "One hundred and siXty-one days have been lost by nurses through illness as compared with 90 days lost last year. In November, physi- cal examinations for all members of the staff were conducted by the Life Extension Institute of New York, with satisfaction.
 Social Hygiene Clinic
 "The special effort by the board of directors to promote New Britain Social Hygiene Clinic goes down as a special Accomplishment in the history of the 24th year of the as- sociation. The report of that Clinic this morning showed 57 patients under treatment. and 1S7 having had treatment given during March
 "Only the best type of cooperation and suggestion has been received from the health officers during the year, and I believe that the next twelve months will see the projec- tion of new health work which the health department and all other health agencies will work out to- gether in better way than they have ever done before.
 New Britain Visiting Nurse serv- ice was discontinued in Maple Hil and Elm Hill in March 1880 at tho request of the Newington Public Health association. The establish. ment of the Newington Public Health association now means tha' each of the five towns adjoining New Britain, (Southington. Plain vile, Berlin, Pennington and New ington) has their own public healtl nurses and the boundaries of New Britain now become the boundaries of the New Britain Visiting Nurse association"
