Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.
Mantoux Tests.


Arrangements have been made to
give the Mantoux test at the Finlay-
son school on April 16. Adults or
older pupils from surrounding schools
are invited to take the test at that
time, for which charge of Is cents
will be made.
The test will also be given in Clo-
verton at an early date, depending
somewhat on road conditions. Pine
City, Hinckley, Willow River, Askov
and Bruno will be ready for the test
as soon as enough permit slips are
signed by the parents. Teachers
should endeavor to have all of their
pupils take this test Some boards
have already decided to pay the doc
tors fees in order to facilitate the
work and make it complete for the
entire student body. Sandstone and
Brook Park will not have the test
this year as their recent tests were
quite thorough and satisfactory.
1t is urged that all high school
students and teachers take this test
since tuberculosis is so prevalent
in that age group, and these county
wide tests make it so convenient and
easy to get the service.

Mrs. York's home the past week and
is making excellent progress. There
were 18 interested members present.
The next class will meet April 80.
Four women from Pine county at
tended the annual Public Health
Nursing Institute at the State Uni
versity last week. At a sub-com-
mittee meeting, Mrs. Tracy Street
gave three-minute talk on obstet-
rical packs, considered very prac-
teal by those present. Pine county
also had a scrap book on exhibition,
containing nearly all the articles,
news items and propaganda features
used in the build-up of the present
efficient nursing service of the county.
The book was compiled and in part
written by the secretary, Mrs. E. B.
Linsley, and was highly commended.
The Northeastern Auxiliary COM
mittee recently met at the Finlay-
son schoolhouse with II members
present. Mrs. Street gave an inter-
esting report on the proceedings of
the state meet, after which the group
discussed variety of topics pertain
ing to health work in the county,
including orthopedic clinics which is
becoming matter of Importance.
Visits have been made to homes
in prenatal cases, tuberculosis,
crippled children, newborn infants
and others. Home visits are of spe-
cial importance as the nurse can see
the family as whole, assist with
any health problems as they occur
and be of great practical help to that
family.
The District Orthopaedic Clinic
will be held at st. Cloud April Is, at
which large number of delegates
will attend. A speech pathologist will
be present to examine children with
defective speech, as part of the clinic.
The Pine City school has made a
request for material on social hygiene
and the State Department had con-
scented to take care of its wants there
by sending an illustrated lecture and
assigned speaker who is well quail
fed to speak on the topic. Social
hygiene is an age-old problem and
only in very recent years has it be-
gun to receive the attention which
its importance demands.
