Slnco thu county health nurso was

according to Miss Jano C. Allen, stato
advisory nurso, and Mrs. Sadlo Orr
Dunbar, oxocutlvo secretary of tho
the Anti-Tuberculosis association,
who aro lioro to explain to the mass
meeting at tho chamber, of commerco
rooms Monday night, tho advantages
of organizing a county public health
association and makln tho county
nurse's office a county Institution.
Tljo nurso's salary rls 1,800 a

Is about $600, where, as Is tho case
with Miss Frlcke, tho local nursoi.tho
nurso owns her own car.

that, tho nurso's work Is more , appro-
clatod and sho gets closer to tho com

montal. The first four months' cost
was borne from the proceeds from

tho stato nursing bureau shouldered
tho burden. The tlmo has now come,
It' Is argued, when tho accomplish
monts of tho local nurse show that
the work has pa'ssod the experimental
stage and It Is ,up to tho community
to pass Judgment uporfwhether they
beliovo tt. Is a paying proposition and
worthy of rotentlon.
The county nurso, works largely
through tho schools, examining pupils
for defocts, oftqn finding nnd cor
roding troubles that retard, tho pu
pil's oducatlonal development. The
uninitiated, said MIiht Allon,. would
bo surprised to know tho large pro
portion of backward pupils, whoso
slow progress Is duo not to natural
stupidity but to physical ailments.
Tho nurso's examination Is dlroctod
toward pointing out theso nllmonts
dofoctlvo vision, under nourish
ment, bad tooth, adenoids, poor hoar-
tng and advising parents to havo
them .corroded by modtcal mothods.
It has been estimated by authori
ties that oach backward pupil costs
tho public $80 a year In addod toach
or's salaries and othor "ways, and tho
offlclent nurso can soon (pay her
salary and expenses In remodylng the
pondltlons that make school progress
slow.
And this does not take" Into con
