WM. H. SPENCER Tax Collector
Visiting Nurse Association
To the Citizens of Norwell :
We beg to submit the financial report of this Association, also the report of the Public Health Nurse for the year 1926.
It may be of interest to the residents to know something of the work that is being accomplished by the Nurses Association.
When needy cases are reported, investigation is made, and if considered worthy, such assistance as is in our pow- er is immediately rendered, without publicity to the reci- pient, and with effective sincerity.
During the year we have been able to provide additional supplies, necessary to replenish the linen of our Loan Chest.
We are pleased to report that the services of our very efficient Nurse has been much appreciated by the patients, as well as the officers of the Association.
We have arranged for an examination of pre-school chil- dren, before the opening session, in the endeavor to pre- vent sickness during the term. This we believe, is a step in advance over the old method, of holding a clinic while the children were in school.
While the treasurers' report shows in detail what we have done, we venture to call your attention to some of our ac-

tivities which include free medical supplies, free dental ser- vice, the scales and couch donated to the first aid room of the Central School, automobile expenses over and above the town's aid, and additional salary to the Nurse.
