Tha report points out tbat the school nuraintf aervice Is only temporury an<l wua undertaken to demonstrate Its val ue. with the idea that the schools theni selves would take it up. This result uppuxciitly has lH!en act'omplished, u;ll nine of the school distjicts have already provided for it in their budgets and otheiij ure expected lo when the achool meetings are held.

MitUtttloii does not warrant continuing In this way. Beginning with the first of July tho staff of the Health Service Uc Iiartment will be considerably reduced and hereafter the services of the nurs es will only be available for schools und communities that aix' in a position to contribute to the support of the work. It is evident the work of the nuisiiiK service hae- been appreciated for nine schools havo already notified the Red «'r(i«s that provision has been made In their budgets for nursing service #01 the ensuing school year. Most of these schools belong to the common school districts which hold their annual meet ings in May. The I'nlon Free S<'hoolR will not be heard from until after their annual meetings In August.
In this peace time prograin, the Ked Cross is only a pioneer and the work was tuken up with thu uiideratundinK that It would be temiiorary. It is hoped that the value of the work has been so W(dl demonslrated during the past year thut^io community will feel Itself prop¬ erly safeguarded without the services of the school and public heulth nur.ses.
