D. {. Hospital Glasses
For Mothers Urqed

Washington hospitals should hold
nutrition and child psychology
classes for young mothers during
the last five days of their stay in
the maternity ward, DR.. Howard A.
Rusk, formerly in charge of the
Army Air Forces convalescent serv-
ices, has suggested.
Addressing the annual luncheon
of the Instructive Visiting Nurse So
ciety yesterday at the Roger Smith
Hotel, Dr. RrSk said the mothers
time in the hospital could be used
more profitable. Now a writer on the
staff of the New York Times, DR..
Rusk said, courses in infant feed
ing, buying for children and first
aid could be a challenge" to the
mother and a help to Washington
homes.
The luncheon marked the 25th
year of service with the society of
Miss Gertrude H. Bowling, executive
director. Miss Bowling was presented
with a silver bowl and was praised
highly by Miss Elsa M. Peterson,
president.
DR.. Rusk said he had seen such
excellent results in vocational train
ing given convalescent veterans that
he wished the 100000 handicap
ped Americans in the United States
could all have some rehabilitative
service. Earning capacity and self
respect can be tremendously raised
by a few courses in a new skill, he
said.
The doctor said industrial COM
panies could save themselves many
pensions if they had a vocational
guidance service to teach other oc-
cupationS to men who became dis
abled in their employ.
