Health Nursing Ser-
in teres t in Public Health nur-
sing is widespread throughout
the country, and many agencies,
Federal and State, public and
private, are engaged in develop-
ing various branches of the cit-
ies, and many of the small
towns, villages and country
places have not yet secured the
advantages of a nursing ser-
■vice.
The Red Cross, as one of its
peace-time activities, is seeking
to assist in the development of
community nursing in rural dis-
tricts and small towns through
the chapters and through affil
iaiion with other public health
nursing organizations in need of
its advice and interest.
Since the larger centers, with
few exception*, have public
health nursing organization
there is little need for the Red
Oou to undrtake independent
work in the cities. But it may
seek to help these organizatons
in forwarding and enlarging
their service.
Its wn work naturally falls
therefore in the smaller towns
and rural districts where public
health nursing is less well de-
veloped and where there is great
need for it. This work is con-
ducted by the Bureau of Public
Health Nursing, Department of
Nursing, American Red Cross.
Many Red Cross officers and
other public spirited people in-
terested in maintaining a high
standard of public health are
seeking information about the
establishment of community
nursing services in their towns ment, us attendance during the

measure of accomplishment.
Who May Have the Services of
the Nurse
If the nurse is in the employ
of the town or county she should
serve anyone who needs her in
the limits of of the service
which the town or county is pre-
pared to give. A chapter or or-
ganization employing a public
health nurse may not wish to
have her serve those who can
easily afford to have a resident
nurse.
Instructive and educational
work is usually free. Bedside
work should be done on a fee ba-
sis, which should cover the cost
of the visit.. Patients unable to
pay the fuull fee should have
the same service at a lower fee
or without paying anything, at
the discretion of the nurse. No
patient should ever be refused
care because of inability to pay.
The nurse does not take the
place of the doctor and gives
nuraing care only under the doc-
tor's orders. But she often per-
suades many patients who may
not realize their need of medical
attention to consult a doctor.
Neither does the nurse act as
a charity agent. If she is tho
of as a dispenser of material re-
lief, her opportunities for ser-
vice as a nurse are soon limited

Why a Community Should Have
a Public Health Nursing
Service.
The community nurse is a
#orm of insurance which no
community can afford to be
without, because;.
She watches over the expec-
tant mother and advises her in
those matters which contribute
to her comfort and safety; and
which promises "sound wind and
limb" to the little newcomer.
She cares for the sick in her
community, bringing trained,
skilled and gentle, deft hands to
supplement the doctor's knowl-
edge and the family's devotion.
She is the guardian of all ba-
bies. Ignorance of proper treat-
ment is the biggest factor in the
high death rate of babies. She

On the other hand she secures

There are in Dallas citizens of
another type. They have de-
voted years and years of hard
work to their own affairs. They
have acquired a competence.
But to the community in which
they have done well they feel
they owe a duty. They have the
interdependent spirit. There-
fore you find them working on
committees that are striving
for civic welfare. You find
them heads of institutions that
build up city and state. You
find them living laborious days
