9 PUBLI NEW REPORT SYSTEM Duplicates Would Be Sent to County School Boards. mm. POSTER WORK DISCUSSED THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1920 C NURSES URGE fe6P773I TToT!T7 1 1 pi rn FT Tl TT-TT ? r?D V V Method of Educating Children by Appealing Through Vision Is Discussed. ' Discussion centered around the work of the nurse in the public school and the home in the after noon scission of the first conference of the Oregon Public Health Nurses' association at the library at 1:30 P. M. yesterday. Several visiting: nurse from out of town attended. Inspection of school buildings was discussed and the state-wide adoption of a report blank form for county nurses was recommended. Under this system the nurse would make a report on the sanitary condition of the school rooms and would .send a duplicate to the school board and the county su perintendent. The necessity of having: such a report standardized before state-wide adoption, thus obviating the danger of accepting the recom mendation of a single nurse was ad vocated. Interesting; Papers Presented. in the discussion of the use of posters and the work of demonstrat ing in class-room work. Miss Uuth Young. Multnomah county nurse, told how placards were uvsed in the class rooms, the appeal being made through the tye alone.' In this way the chil dren are first interested and then led to ask questions. Miss Martha Sheri dan followed with a brief resume of the exact way in which this educa tive appeal is made to the children. One of the interesting papers of the afternoon was presented by Mitui L,cna Marshall, Portland visiting nurse, in her discussion of "Home Visits." "The object of all public health nursing is two-fold." she said. "First, to give .skilled nursing care to the sick in their own homes: sec ond, to teach personal hygiene, cleanli ness and the prevention of disease." A description of a day's work In the home was given by Miss Frances Kiernan. a Hood liver county nurse, demonstrating that the work of the public health nurse does not end in the school room, but extends into the home itself. An example was cited of a little boy with defective vision. The visiting nurse called on his home and finding the mother in ill health, volunteered personally to take the child to a physician. Continuing the investigation further, she found an other child in the same family suf fering from malnutrition. This waa u result of ignorance and not poverty, she said. Other MnteH Itenrenenteil. "The visiting nurse." said Miss Kiernan, "cannot confine her work to the school alone. The Bchool is the field, the home is the labratory." Visiting nurses from other states at the conference were: Bess K. Ijiwler, Kelso, Wash.: Mary A. Zum walt, Boise, Idaho; Harriet McKinley, Vancouver. Wash., and Minnie Hein niann, lewiston, Idaho. Two men at tended the afternoon session, lr. c. S. Chase of the college of medicine of the University of Iowa, and Ir.

Yet the consumer it is who demands a higher standard of quality- who votes for the rigid laws that necessitate a costly inspection service, that, in turn, necessitates improvements that increase property valuations and taxes. And Consumers Are Apt to Forget These FACTS that the Producer carries a double burden of high first-costs and high" upkeep expense. that MILK, like every other commodity, is lower in price when pro duced in quantities ONLY when the entire output is marketed. Thus, when the consumer cuts down his daily milk allowance the price may be higher for a longer period than seems necessary, or even further ad vances may be forced upon the Producer and Distributor. that the Producer is continually standing a loss on the surplus he is compelled to produce. ' that winter's losses, due to natural decrease in production and high feed costs, must be covered by summer's gains if production is to be continued. An Averaging of FIGURES The percentages quoted at the left are doubly interesting in that they apply to local conditions and were submitted by the Producers and Dis tributors upon whom you rely for your milk supply. They do not pre- tend to cover the entire cost of production, as this might make compari sons appear extreme, but are intended to wake up the public to an ap preciation of the low cost of the most important of foods. Study these figures! There is no substitute for MILK MILK is the only substance nature pro duces that is a complete food, containing all necessary building and repair ele ments. MILK is the very life of babies and is indispensable to the health of every person. MILK Producers and Distributors ask only your fair consideration. Having; ' this, they are confident that the con sumer will co-operate by DRINKING MORE MILK; first and most important, for the sake of good health, and after, as a substitute for less nourishing foods, to keep living costs down. - , , e -if.Ar EQUIPMENT The very necessary equipment nfost fre quently subject to re placement, figures an increase of. 106 (You- can help keep down equipment costs by good care and prompt return of bottles.) fill' q U AMK J 1 "I OOr. 1,IJ X .1, f X'l 1 .
