Miss-Roizb's address given at the afternoon meeting of the above As- sociation on May 2nd: "The Aim of H.'Nursing and the Scope -of a Public Health Nurse's Duties"— The duty of a Public Health /De- partment is to +promote health and to reduce the mortality rate. 'This is done by preventing the spread of in- fectious diseases: IBy oversight of the water and :milk .supply; by supervision of sanitatron; by health education through the' press; by establishing well baby, chest and:. other clinics; by medical inspection in schools and home visitingby nurses. Toronto public health department stands second to none 'on this conti- nent, The following is an outline of the public health nursing as carried on there, Miss Eunice Dyke is di- -rector of nursing. The city is divided into districts, with a supervisor in charge of each, These districts. are sib -divided, each nurse being in charge of her own district. She is re- s'ponsible. for the visiting work, school work or welt baby clinics 10 her own district. The public health nurse attending a hospital clinic sends through to the districts any orders which the doctors want followed up. The chest clinics at the hospitals are under the oversight of the P.H. nurses. Visits are ma de to the homes of patients, and all con- tact cases are encouraged to attend clinics •far examination. School health supervision is a ser- vice intended to aid in the improve meat of the physical well being of the children. It has a three -fold objective. To lessen the amount of communic- able disease; to aid -in the detection and correction of such physical de- fects,'•as are -.•definitely handicapping the children; To stimulate a greater interest in 'personal and community hygiene. 'From an economic -standpoint, it is necessary to bear in mind the enor niou•s annual waste of money, due to non-attendance: sickness directly or indirectly is responsible for 75 P .c of theabsentees in this peovinee. 'The school nurse- sees returning absentees of over two ••days and also makes • home visits on those who are ,absent more than two days 'without a satin- factory •' note to elle teacher. The. nurse cannot ,diagnose; or examine, 3: child's chest., but where defects heave been found by: a doctor,, the nurse in: Tier home visits may advise parents of the danger of •neglecting these physi- cal hysi cal 'defects.

The routine school room examination is made every two weeks in classes up - '-to and fiicluding the second, every three weeks in the. third and jiutior fourth and once a month in the ' senior fourth.
