|SCH|CK TESTS | GIVEN NURSES
If Any Are Positive They Will Be Tmrnunized
 Immediately

The entire staff of the Visiting Nurse Association was given a Schick test by Dr. Edward Godfrey of the Department of Health this morning. If any of the reactions are positive the nurses will be im- munized immediately. At recent meeting of the board of directors, recommendations made by the medical advisory committee con- corning physical examinations for members of the staff were accepted.
 The rec6mmendati tions which be- came the Visiting Nurse association policy at this meeting are as fol- lows:
 ]. A yearly physical examination is necessary.
 2. An examination will be re- quired of all nurses before con- ing on the staff.
 3. The examination should be carried out as recommended by the American Medical Association using the American Medical Association physical examination forms.
 4. The examination should also include: (a) Schick test; if positive nurse should be immunized; (b) Tu- berculin test; if positive nurse should have an X-ray of tke chest X-ray to be repeated whenever in- dicated; Co Wasserman test is suggested but not made obligatory; (O The nurse should be re-vac- cinated every seven years.

Health Protection In
 Community Urged
Formation of Districts Often Impeded By Finances People in Small Towns Use Old=FastiOned Methods

Forty per cent of the people of Connecticut, living in eight cities, have departments of health protec- ton; the rest of the citizens of the state should secure like effective health protection in their communi- ties, Dr. F. M. Foote, chief of the Division of Local Health admins tration of the State Department of Health, declared today.
 Old-Fashioned System
 People, in the smaller cities and towns of the state have health or ganizations similar to those of our forefathers, Dr. Foote said. In those communities, heealth work is often considered an emergency affair and the organization is ot particularly effective even in emergencies. The part-t1me health officers serving these towns have been men who have given generously of their time, frequently with little financial re- ward. They have done their jobs to the best of their ability, even at- tempting to gain the special know ledge so important n the field of public health, but because they can- not devote their full time to the work and have to earn a living, it has not been possible to accomplish all that was expected of them in the line of necessary work to cut down cases of preventable disease.
 In some states, Dr. Foote pointed out, the financial barriers impeding the way to full-time local health de- partments have been surmounted by the development of county and dis trict departments of health which bring modern public health to the smaller cities, towns and villages, At present, there are more than 700 such district departments in the United States, several of htem n nearby states. Connecticut through changes in it's laws has permitted the formation of sanitary districts of this type by the joining of two or more communities, and state funds are available up to $6,000 per dis trict to finance half the cost of forming such health districts in this Statae.
 Better Service
 Formation of sanitary districts will bring to the cooperating towns better qualified health personnel,

Thus, the student will be given the principles of color harmony and proportion, by which she may interpret her own individual physical and character traits and being so trained 1t is felt that the student will not be too much at the mercy of the too often unsound dress propaganda aimed at her in almost any publication which may be picked Up. With clear un- derstanding of such principles, the student will be well on the way to- wards achieving a maximum amount of personal pleasure from being properly dressed with mini mum expenditure of money.
