All homes visited upon report by physician of new case to the health department, instructions given, booklets provided for those patients who are going to stay at home-spu- tum boxes provided free to all cases so that further spread of the disease may be checked. Suggestions are made as to examination of all contacts of every case (T. B. skin test, physical examination and X-ray). Homes are visited after a death and instructions are given. All cases going to Braintree Hospital for X-ray were trans- ported by the nurses every Tuesday A. M. This year we have made a special effort to have all old cases of tuberculosis X-rayed. This is all done free of charge through the dispensary, Dr. Pills- bury, superintendent of the Norfolk County Hospital, taking all X-rays. No home is visited by nurses without permission of the attending physician.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH


These children are prepared as nearly as possible before enter- ing camp (dentistry done, adenoid and tonsils removed when neces- sary) so that there will be no drawbacks from focal infections. The usual program of rest, sun baths, shower baths, swimming, camp fires, band concerts, flag raising, camp community singing, etc., were carried on for eight weeks. The children are under constant medical attention and a graduate nurse is on duty day and night. For every ten children there is a well chosen counsel- lor who is also in constant attendance. Both the boys and girls did considerable hand work-boys doing woodwork and art, and the girls sewing and embroidering. There was also a period for nature study set aside for each day. The same special attention was paid to diet and the children returned to Quincy with a coat of tan and the picture of health.


There were 4,500 quarts of milk given free through the dispen- sary to 87 different individuals. The money for this milk was given us through our regular milk appropriation in the council and through the Christmas Seal Sale.

Both nurses attended the annual Norfolk County Health meet- ing at Braintree, at which Miss Russell gave a resume of the pub- lic health course awarded her by the scholarship given by that association for the New York University Extension Course in Pub- lic Health Nursing at the State House, Boston. Both nurses at- tended this course of study, taking periodic examinations during the year. This year the nurses are attending the second year of a four-year course in which they are studying Syphiolology and So- cial Hygiene. Both nurses assisted in the T. A. T. drive for diph- theria immunization in public schools, relieving at Baby Welfare Clinics when necessary, and contagious disease work. During the past year Miss Russell has given lectures on the public health phase of tuberculosis nursing to the training school at the Quincy City Hospital.

The statistical report for the year 1932 presents approximately the same registration and attendance as for the year 1931. The great decrease in number of home visits made by the nurses is ac- counted for by the reduction in transportation facilities provided for the work of the Child Welfare Nurses this year.

References of Children


During the year 305 children have been referred by clinic doctors or nurses to the care of local physicians, dentists, or hospitals.


In the report of the Child Welfare Nurses may be found a clas- sification of these references.


The larger than usual number of children referred from the clinics to the care of the local physicians is coincident with the increasingly large number of sick infants and children who have been brought to the clinics during the months of October, November and December.


132


CITY OF QUINCY


Previous to this year acutely ill children were very rarely seen at the Well-Baby Clinics. Financial hardship is the explanation given in a large per cent of the cases seen and referred from the clinics in the past three months. This is a new problem which should be considered immediaately. since upon its solution is de- pendent both safety and service for the well children who are those eligible to clinic advice.


Acknowledgments


To the clinic executives, Mrs. Nettie D. Fowler, R.N., and Miss Mary Marr, R.N., is due great credit for the efficiency with which the clinics are managed, and the satisfaction provided through the educational help which is given in the homes of clinic infants and children.


Volunteer workers in the clinics have included members of the Wollaston Women's Club, who have assisted the nurses at the Wollaston Clinic, and Miss Alice G. Thompson of Wollaston, who has attended the Atlantic Clinic regularly each week, acting as re- corder. Her generosity and ability have made it possible to care for the largest clinic in the city, with a minimum of strain which the handicap of overcrowding would ordinarily present.


The courtesy extended by the School Department for the use of the school buildings for clinics, the North Quincy Council of Knights of Columbus, and Woodward Institute is acknowledged with appreciation.


May I express thanks for the cooperation given to the clinic work by the Commissioner of Health, personnel of the Health Depart- ment office, and other members of the staff of the Health Depart- ment.


Respectfully submitted,


RACHEL L. HARDWICK, M.D., Child Welfare Physician.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH


REPORT OF CHILD WELFARE NURSES


JANUARY 10, 1933.


DR. C. J. LYNCH, Health Commissioner.


DEAR SIR :- Enclosed is the report of the activities for the Child Welfare work for the year ending December 31, 1932.


Well baby clinics were held each day from 2 to 4 P. M., except on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. There were clinics held in each ward as stated in the clinic attendance.


Preschool Clinics were held each Wednesday afternoon except as stated above.


Orthopedic Clinics were held the second and third Thursdays of each month, with the exception of the month of August, at the Woodward Institute.


At the Well Baby Clinics there were 2,440 babies registered dur- ing the year. The floating population has been quite noticeable during the past year, possibly due to the unemployment situation, causing a fluctuation in clinic registration.


There were 261 who attended clinics from one to four times. 184 for four months, 437 for six months, and 57 who were referred to the Preschool Clinic and 42 were returned to various infant asylums.


There were seven deaths, five of which were congenital mal- formations, and two were infections. Two of these were registered at the clinic but only came once.


It was very evident that the unemployment situation was the cause of the number of sick babies who were seen at the clinic this year, who were referred to the clinic from various sources.


There were 1,453 babies active at the end of the year.


The causes of deaths were as follows:


Bacterial endocarditis, age 312 years.


Congenital heart, age 11 months.


Pneu, endocrine disturbance, age 7 months.


Congenital malformation, age 2 months.


Pneumonia, age 10 months.


(Secondary anemia)

REPORT OF ORTHOPAEDIC CLINICS


JANUARY 3, 1933.


DR. C. J. LYNCH, Health Commissioner, Quincy, Mass.


DEAR DR. LYNCH :- The following is the report of the Ortho- paedic Clinics maintained by the City of Quincy as part of its Child Welfare Program for the year 1932.


There have been twenty-two (22) clinics. The clinic days have been the second and third Thursdays of each month, except during the month of August.


The total yearly attendance was 410. Of this number 106 were new cases.


The types of orthopaedic conditions found at the clinics were: faulty posture, pronated feet, knock-knees, wry neck, generalized muscular weakness and rachitic deformities.


As in previous years, the success of the Clinic is due to the co- operation and assistance given by those interested in Child Wel- fare.

REPORT OF QUINCY HABIT CLINIC


JANUARY 17, 1933.


CORNELIUS J. LYNCH, M.D., Quincy Health Department, City Hall, Quincy, Mass.


MY DEAR MR. LYNCH :- I am enclosing a report of the activities of the Habit Clinic in Quincy for the past year.


During the year ending December 31, 1932, the Quincy Habit Clinic observed an appreciable and encouraging widening of the scope of its activities together with an increase in clinic attendance. All phases of the work were in excess of those of the previous year.


Although there has been an evidence increase in clinic attend- ance as seen numerically, that alone has not been the convincing factor in the clinic's growth but rather the general acceptance of the clinic by the community and the occasions on which the clinic has been called in to consult in problems that were not primarily of a psychiatric nature. The service rendered by the clinic to ad- jacent communities has also shown a proportionate growth so that at the present time Braintree, Weymouth, Milton and towns on the Cape are all participating in the service.


The general community response has been most gratifying and the personnel expresses genuine appreciation to those whose co- operation and efforts have helped to make the clinic a success.
