EMERGENCY
APPROPRIATION
IS NEEDED.
CRISIS EXISTS
Tbs twenty tive nurses now em¬
ployed by the State Board of Health
In eo-operation with the Children’s
Bureau, Department of Labor, Wash¬
ington, have already been given notice
I
of their dismission from service taking
effect July 1. This was made neces¬
sary because of the fact that the
Sheppard-Towner Law, under which,
they have been operating, has been
repealed, and there have been no funds
made available to continue their serv¬
ices.
It is sincerely hoped that the coun¬
ties In which these nurses have been
employed will continue their services
by making appropriations from their
local funds, as the State Board of
Health has no money which can be
used for this purpose. These nurses
have been on a fifty-fifty basis with
the county and consequently the coun¬
ties would only have to appropriate
fifty per cent more than they have
been appropriating to continue this
very important work.
It is hoped that the General Assem¬
bly will immediately take this matter
under consideration and make an
emergency appropriation so that we
may have at least one nurse in each
congressional district in the State with
a supervising nurse, bo that there
will be no interruption in the work
that has been carried on for the last
seven years by the Division of Child
Hygiene

On the first day of July, the work
of the Child Hygiene‘"Division (If our
State Board of Health will practically
go out of business, due to the fact
that the Federal appropriation under
the Sheppard-Towner Law has ceased
by statute of limitation.
Twenty-three nurses are out of jobs,
as well as other attaches'. In round
figures,-a maximum of sixty thousand
dollars has been spent annually for
the past seven years. This is co¬
operative work, fifty per cent being
locally contributed. Every county in
the State has had at least two visits
from the State Board of Health dur¬
ing the life of this law.
Last year the Healthmobile Unit ex¬
amined 1,234 infants, 8,033 school chil¬
dren in twenty-one counties. In each
county, a permanent committee on
health Is organized. Eleven thousand
nine hundred and eighty-two defects
were found in the 9,267 children ex¬
amined by this unit. State nurses or¬
ganized 378 prenatal conferences, and
the co-operating physicians examined
2,998 expectant mothers. They held
107 conferences attended by 421 ba¬
bies. Seventy expectant mothers ryere
given instructions. Six hundred and
five children attended these confer¬
ences held t y the nurses and Child
Health Centers were established.
The classes for girls had an enroll¬
ment of 4,968. Twelve lessons con¬
stituted the full course. In'classes for
mothers, the report shows 1,716 moth¬
ers enrolled. Two hundred and,nine
classes for midwives were organized;
the enrollment was 1,764; the number
completing the course was, 821. In
each county visited a permanent mid¬
wife club was organized.
The nurses under the dhild Hygi¬
ene Division made 24,968 visits to
mothers and babies. Demonstrations
were given to 633 groups of women
that were attended by- large numbers
besides 3,205 demonstrations to indi¬
viduals.
From this statement, it is-seen that
much educational work, has been done"
during the last year. It is. apparent
from this statement that much good
has been accomplished, and it is very
evident that arrangements should be
made to continue this vital work. The
coming session of our .General -As¬
sembly should give immediate-atten-
tion to the needs of our: State Board
of Health, and make appropriation to
at least carry on, in a measure, this
most important work. For seven years
we have had outside aid; it is gone.
It is up to us to get in the breach ;
and carry on. It is the State’s duty
We should at least provide ag anj
emergency measure sufficient funds to*

ing out from the State -Board of
Health until we are .in a position to
do better. This money should be made

“When Personal Right”
Takes Second
One frequently hears a man say that
he made his own money and has a
right to do with it as he pleases.
There was never a more fallacious ar¬
gument. No man in a civilized gov¬
ernment or in civilized society ean do
as he pleases. Only persons ignorant
of the basic principles of government
and society would hold to that opinion.
If one is to receive the protection
of government he must give up cer¬
tain rights. He must drive on a cer¬
tain side of the street. He must stop
when the red light is on. He must
keep off his neighbor's property un
less given permission to enter. A
man makes lus money by reason of
the protection of a stable government
■which has all these don’ts and prohl
bitions on his free actions. If he ex¬
perts to retain the good will of his
friends and of the community In which
he lives he must be a part of it and
do as the community and his friends
would have him do. If he has money
he must give to this cause and to that
cause or whatever cause is indorsed
by the people with whom he asso¬
ciates. Otherwise both he and his
family lose the friendships and social
contacts that most people enjoy ami
which make life worth the living,

it as she recently did when she ap¬
