cooperate intelligently in the train
ing of the child; and to mold public
opinion so that the highest advan-
tages in physical. mental, moral and
spiritual education may be had.
Many eminent Americans have con-
tributed to these aims. Theodore
Roosevelt was chairman of the advis-
ory council of the association from
the time of its establishment, in 1900,
until close to the time of his death. in
1919 When an assembly of New
York mothers met in October, 1899,
Roosevelt was Governor and Mrs.
Roosevelt entertained the group at
the State executive mansion. The
Governor, with characteristic impul-
siveness, invited Mrs. Birney and
several others to visit baby Quentin
in the nursery. While admiring the
child Mrs Birney asked Mr.. Roosevelt
to take the advisory position. and he
consented, adding enormously to its
success. Never has the organization

1907 to the National Congress Of
Evening star., 1937-01-09

Locally the association has always
been especially active. 1t maintains
its headquarters in the N. E. A. Build
ing.
A Legislation Committee headed by
Mrs. j. N. Saunders promotes ad-
vantageous legislation, scrutinizing all
bills submitted to the Senate and
House. For this session the associa-
tion Is backing bills concerning repeal
Of the so-called red rider" the new
juvenile court bill, the elective school
board bill Uhe PIT. A. always backs
this bilD, the school building appro-
priation bill, the personnel bill that
would permit additional teachers in
the District, the Federal food and
drug act and a bill for appropriations
for community centers and play
grounds. Mrs. Mary T. Bannerman
has distinguished herself as national
chairman Of legislation.
The association is, however, strictly
non-political, non-secretarian and
non-commercial. Representatives ap-
pear at congressional committee hear

and cure of tuberculosis in the Dis
trict. Nurses agreed to visit special
cases, act as instructors in classes on
tuberculosis and serve as collectors
In the sales of the tuberculosis stamp
fund.
The association also supported tu-
berculosis course for two months at
cost of $160, and the International
Congress on tuberculosis was held
in Washington for the year Of 1903.
In addition to this work, association
members served in aln1shouses and
donated both professional and finan-
cial aid.
A club house for the association.
where many of the graduates might
live and others might entertain, was
planned early in the existence of the
group, but high rents in the District
and the inadvisability of building q
home caused considerable delay.
1t was not until 1910 that this plan
began to take definite shape. Larger
quarters for the registry were needed,
and the graduates were desirous of
having club rooms and a library.
At a special meeting held at the
Occidental Hotel on June 18, 1910, a
committee headed by Miss Mary Davis
read a report which suggested that
the house at 1887 K street be leased
at s125 month.
Stock subscriptions, at $5 a share,
were offered, and 5000 was promptly
pledged at the meeting. Rooms were
to be rented for as low as SIS month.
and accommodations were available
for about 10 members. The club took
possession Of its new quarters on Au-
gust !, 1910.
On April II, 1911, the association,
impressed by lecture on Hospital
Work in Labrador" by DR.. Wilfred T.
Grenfell, decided to endow a room in
the st. Johns, Labrador, Fishermen's
Home in memory of Miss Mary S.
Hammond, whose death on February
Is of that year marked the associa-
tons first loss. A large box of hos
pital supplies was sent to Boston, and
q note came back which read:
The box was received and much
appreciated. Please thank the nurses
of Washington who sent it and say
that it has gone forward on the doc
tors schooner"
Another outside interest which ap-
pealed to District nurses about this
time was Red Cross work. It tied IN
very closely with the association, as
Red Cross headquarters was at the
club house and the Washington COM
mittee was composed largely of club
members.
WHEN the United States entered
w the World War. the Graduate
Nurses Association took an active part
in recruiting nurses for the Army and
Navy. Since the headquarters Of the

temporary officers and launched plans
for an immediate union.
This was the first local move that
was made to set up an organization
of nurses in the District, although
alumnae Of many Washington hos
pitals had long before formed their
own individual associations.
The first union was named the
Graduate Nurses Association of the
District Of Columbia. 1t has grown
from its original group Of scarcely l4O
members to a well-directed organiza-
stion comprising more than 1900
members, or about so per cent of
the local graduate nurse population.
MISS GEORGIA M. NEVINS, q
graduate Of the Johns Hopkins
School of Nursing, class of 1891. was
elected the first president of the as
sociation and served until the close of
1910. Other charter officers were
Miss Amy J. Rule, vice president;
Miss Peron E. Jennings, treasurer;
Miss Marion Little, recording secre-
tary, and Miss Irene B. Lenig, cor
responding secretary.
The association was intended by its
founders to consist Of all graduate
registered nurses in the District who
fulfilled the requirements, and its
objects were stated to be : Q) The
advancement Of the educational stand
ards of nursing; (2) the registra-
ton of graduate nurses in the District
of Columbia. and 90 the adoption of
q code Of professional ethics.
While the association was being
organized, the nurses held frequent
meetings to discuss drafting consti-
tuition and bylaws and securing the
introduction of a congressional bill
dealing with the rules and regula-
tions of registration.

NURSES ORGANIZED "a YEARS
History of District Graduate Nurses Association Includes Long
Fight for Acceptable Registry Legislation Improved Nursing
Standards Personal Sacrifices and Heroic War Record

"VEN before the era Of the
l. heroic Florence Nightingale
the work of the properly
IL trained nurse has been recog-
nized as one of the greatest OF all
humanitarian services.
While the nurses Of another CEN
tury may have lacked the detailed
and arduous training now demanded
in the modern day, those first nurses
like those Of the present-were far
from lacking in faithfulness and de-
votion to cause they had selected
because they loved it.
The services rendered during that
bygone period ire especially note
worthy because of the greater risk
involved-due to lack of information
about the causes of infection and an
imperfect knowledge of sterilization
methods. The mortality rate of
nurses was high, and many gave
their lives in an effort to help cure
and prevent disease.
The modern nurse, though better
protected from infection and the
transmission Of germs, remains just
as faithful, however, and the record
of Washington nurses, over a long
period of years, compares most favor
ably with that in any other locality.
The first general move to bring the
local nurses together in a closer
union of service. devotion and
strength was begun in 1903, when the
alumnae organization Of Garfield
Hospital invited all registered grad
yates to attend talk on registration
by DR.. William c. Woodward, then q
District health officer.
On November 10 of that year more
than ITS graduates assembled at the
medical department of Columbia
University, and, after hearing the
benefits to be derived from organiza-
ton Of all District nurses, named

arose governing the reciprocal regis
tration of nurses from other cities,
finally was drafted. sent to Congress
and signed by President Theodore
Roosevelt on February 9. 1907. This
bill has remained substantially the
same.
DURING the Spring of 1905 the as
sociation planned another note
worthy service for its members by es-
tablishing Central Registry Bureau
for employment, other bureaus pledg-
ing to disband. Miss Mary E. P. Da-
Wis was appointed to take charge, and
the Central Registry was opened on
December !, 1906, at 1928 G street.
Cards were sent to all members of the
medical profession asking co-opera-
tion toward a systematic method Of
employing nurses.
The registry was furnished by
means of $162.50 raised at a lawn
party and through gifts from indi-
viduals. The association began to
hold its regular meetings at the reg
istry shortly after it was opened, and
a vote was taken which limited its
benefits "only to registered nurses"
The work Of local nurses was not
limited to serving the District. as
many volunteered for service after
the tragic San Francisco earthquake.
The Superintendents' Association
voted $3.50 from its treasury. while the
Graduate Nurses Association held
lawn party on the grounds of the
Garfield Hospital. and more than $lo0
was sent to aid the nurses in the
stricken areas.

The District Congress made sur
vey Of physical conditions in every
school in Washington in 1920 that
resulted in the installation of electric
lights in elementary schools. sanitary
lavatories and drinking fountains,
improved playground facilities and the
establishment of health school.
Through the work Of the local con-
gress the first dental clinics were
opened in schools, scales were in
stalled to weigh and measure children
and the first health clinic was estab-
lished. Rest rooms were provided for
children at the Juvenile Court. The
association also was instrumental in
securing free text books and supplies
for high school pupils, reducing car
fare for school children, and for the
fact that high school pupils now re-
ceive credit for music work done out
side school hours.
When the call came several years
ago during the depression for mothers
to assist in serving free lunches to
undernourished school children it was
only necessary to send out letter to
local associations, and 600 mothers
were on the job at once. No salaries
are paid to any national or State OFF,
Ger, Mrs. Fry points out. Membership
dues are Is cents annually from each
local member, 10 cents going to the
State treasury and cents to the ma

nickels are the only definite income of
the organization.
