The St. Louis Society for the Relief and Prevention of Tuberculosis has a staff of seven nurses, a social service department, a relief department, and an employment bureau. Conferences of nurses and workers are held three times a week, the social workers assuming the various problems met by the nurses in their daily work. St. Louis nurses carry on an average 100 patients each, about 25% being bed cases. Nurses are in uniform, and receive from $60 to $75 per month. Patients report to the City Dispensary or to the Washington University Dispensary, and the usual plan of home supervision is in force. ATLANTA Atlanta, Ga., has a staff of four nurses and a dispensary under the Atlanta Anti-Tuberculosis and Visiting Nurse Association. They seem to have a particularly well organized plan of work, very hearty co-operation from the entire city (although the city government has appropriated nothing for the work), and are doing much good along lines of prevention, with dental, and nose and throat clinics, and open air schools. They have had difficulty in obtaining nurses with social training, and have been at some pains to arrange a social service training school, the program of which seems very admirable. * * * * * According to the latest report of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, there are 4,000 visiting tuberculosis nurses in the United States. There are more than 400 special tuberculosis clinics as compared with 222 in 1909. This paper deals with only a few of the larger cities. There are many other cities and small towns having tuberculosis nurses doing work well worthy of mention. Several states have adopted the plan of carrying on the work by visiting nurses in each county. These nurses have a wide field, and are accomplishing much along educational lines, the territory which they have to cover making any great amount of actual nursing impossible. It is interesting to note their varied experiences. We read of patients prepared and sent to sanatoria and hospitals, the family and neighborhood protesting against every step; of county agents, churches, lodges or communities called upon to assist in caring for families; of long drives into the country to inspect and practically reorganize some home where several members have died, or are dying with tuberculosis; of repeated admonitions to keep windows open in rural communities, "where the air is pure because all the bad air is kept closed up in the homes and school houses." When the city tuberculosis nurse reads of all this, she feels like taking off her hat to the rural tuberculosis visiting nurse and wishing her success and fair weather. CHICAGO
