Nurses Are Fighting a Winning Fight 1
jAgainst Pneumonia.'
In the office of the Henry street set
tlement on the lower East Bide of
New JTork there is a war map of New
York city. It Is different both In pur
pose and appearance from the war
map of Europe, It Is a peace time
war map, but It depicts the advances
against pneumonia, one of tho worst
enemies of mankind. Just as those
maps of the western front picture tho
progress against tho imperialistic ene
my of democracy. This peace time
war map shows graphically the need
for replenishing the war-decimated
ranks of our army of nurses just as
those wavering end ever changing
lines on the (ace of Europe argue for
keeping our army op to full strength.
This map In the "House on Ilenry
treel" was mnde under the direction
of Mls Lillian D, Wald, director of
the Henry Street settlement, who Is
ne ef the foremost leaders of the In
nextlng army of public health nurses.

The nurses of the "House on Henry
street" are striving to remake this
pneumonia map just as the contending
armies are striving to remake the map
of Kurope.
Each blue headed pin represents a
case of pneumonia that the nurses,
under the direction of a physlclin,
have cared for In the patient's home.
Bach black, headed pin represents a
death.
In certain sections of the East side,
particularly where the Italians live,
these pins are clustered so closely
that there Is literally not room for a
pin point between them.
The map is a constant reminder to
the nurses of the task they have set
before themselves. This Is to get rid
of the black pins entirely and gradual
ly to eliminate the blue pins.
Last year the Henry Street settle
ment had more cases of pneumonia
under Its care than all hospitals of
the city put together. The nurses In
their houso to house visits cared for
3,988, while the records of the hos
pitals totaled 1,304.
Most of the home care given by
sent to a prison camp where he was
being slowly starved to death and re
solved to regain his freedom by
feigning insanity. As a test of his
mentality Wells was placed in a
building with a number of Insane
Russians, und kept there for twenty
two days. His conduct during this
trial evidently satisfied his keepers
that his mental equilibrium was de
stroyed for he was finally exchanged.
During his probationary iperlod,
Sergeant Wells says that he hnd little
tioublc In acting insane, as his
mental condition, duo to suffering
hardships and lack of nourishment,
was bordering on the real thing.

of the cases wore babies under two
years and 70 per cent, were children
under five.
Home core of pneumonia Is not eaey
to give. The nurse must have infinite
patience.' She must convince tbj
mother that fresh air is Imperative.
She must persuade her that bathlno
will be more likely to save the babj
than to kill it She must also fight
for open windows as well as for clean
liness. She must make two or three
calls a day in the early stages of the
disease and she must supervise the
administration of all medicine.
While this all means hard work tho
results have been gratifying. Of tho
8,988 coses cared for by the Henry
street nurses lost winter, 3,573- were
cured. The case death rate was 8.67
per cent, which was much lower than
that of the hospitals. Altogether the
effects of home care of pneumonia have
been so satisfactory that the nur.tes
believe that their ultimate goal, tho
elimination of the blue and black pins.
