, Rainy weather and a holiday great
ly hampered the progress of the

There aro still some people to seo
in till precincts. In Emerson nnd
St. John's there is considerable unso
licited territory.
Dakota county has 713 farms. Tho
1019 statistics shows that of these,
3GG ar" I'rmed by their owners and
317 i.j , -milts. Tenancy has in
creast. 'hat at present moro than
half nro i utters. Most of these rent
ers were very loyal to tho movement,
but in many cases they are planning
to leave. In not u few instances tho
farmer is planning to quit the farm.
Then, too, it often happened that the

solicitor visited him. The number
of refusals was very low. A full re
port will be made public as soon as

THE HOUSE OP SERVICE II
NEBRASKA WAGES
HEALTH DRIVES
State Shows Wonderful Progress
in Nursing Service, Espe
cially in Rural Districts.
The Nursing Service of the American
Red Cross throughout Nebraska has
assumed propor
tions undreamed
of during the last
year, A year ago
tho stato had but
one Red Cross
nurse. Today prac
tically every large
city hi tho stato
has a lnrgo or
s in n 1 1 staff of
trained nurses.
STILL tK, GREATEST
.MOTHDm6VCORLD
Tho chapters aro
paying particular attention to their
districts where health work hns been
neglected. For this reason vi lnrgo
number of classes In inirslng Instruc
tion aro in progress at this time.
Tho city problem and the rural prob
lem for visiting nurses aro nccossnrily
different, but tho same fundamentals
of training aro needed to prepare tho
nurse to copo with them,' nnd the
young woman who assumes tho respon
sibility of a rural situation must bo
exceptionally broad vlsloncd and well
prepared, because the servlco usually
Is Isolated and the Individual nurse
has to depend upon her own lnltlatlvo
In matters that aro exclusively profes
sional. Great Task Ahead.
The Nursing Servlco has a great
work to perform in Nebraska. Do
splto tho fact that work along this lino
has been neglected, tho Red Cross
chapters nre rallying to tho cnuso and
Intend to "enrry on."
An exnmplo of tho excellent work
the Nursing Service Is doing "was clear
ly demonstrated recently during tho
school inspection in ono of tho rurnl
schools. Tho nurse, In her examina
tion found that tho school ot UC5 pu
pils did ' not huvo one normal child.
She Immediately called a mooting of
tho parents and Informed them as to
tho eorlous condition. '-Tho-chlldrpti
niso wero lectured on health essen
tials. This nurso will, from tlnio to
time, rocclvo a report of the children's
henltU nnd will follow up her work
throughout tho year.
Teaches Many Subjects.
Tho examination of tho school chil
dren Is Just ono of the important
phases of the nurse's work. Sljo con
ducts cIiibscs In homo hyglejio nnd mal
nutrition; she aids In tho establishing
of health centers; sho Instructs vol
unteer workers, and organizes commu
nity work in all she Is tho tenchcr.
In mnny of tho smaller districts of
Nebraska whero tho Red Cross chap
ters huvo been unable to carry on tho
task through lack of workers, a num
ber of tho chapters huvo combined
their Interests nnd work under ono
Red Cross chapter. This was true in
tho community around Knox county,
where, eight Red Cross chapters con
solidated and now work under ono
chapter tho Knox County chapter.
Everywhere In Nebraska tho great
est Interest Is being manifested in tho
work for health nnd tho chnptora aro
furnishing recreational and other com
munity needs.
