asked this year for a total quota of
( 50 ' final reports showing $334.83
more than asked or a total now ac
counted for of $584.83. Adding tc
this amount several prospective do
nations toward the employment of a
school nurse estimated total will 1W
$639, still $lO7 short for a nurse

available, however, for a shorter per
iod of time and her work assigned to
only those schools in communities
manifesting an interest in the roll
