6 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1923 BUREAU PLACES HEALTH WORKERS Tuberculosis Institute Main- tains Intelligence Office There are probably a good many persons in nursing and public health positions who do not know that the Chicago Tuberculosis institute at 8 South Dearborn street, Chicago, main- tains a Bureau of Intelligence as one of its departments. This Placement bureau has been in existence for seven years. It was be- gun by Mrs. Theodore B. Sachs and has been :n her personal charge un- til early in 1923. As Mrs. Sachs has recently assumed the duties of super- intendent of the Institute she has turned over the Placement bureau to Miss Annie J. Morrison. Place Health Workers The object of this bureau is to con- nect supply with demand among pub- lic health workers and particularly among nurses, finding positions for those who are in need of them and supplying workers where vacancies occur. The territory covered by this service is chiefly that of the Mississippi val- ley, although no definite limits are set and positions are filled all over the country. About half the applicants who call upon the bureau wish to be placed in Chicago. This is hardly ever possible as the institute is in touch with very few positions in the city, but it has a great many in Cook County, in Illinois, and elsewhere. Serve 31 States The report of the bureau to the end of 1922 showed that out of 1914 posi- tions registered, 787 placements were made in 31 states. During 1922 the average was raised from 38.7¢ to 41.1%. 482% of the positions were in Illinois, 11.2% in Indiana; Colorado and Iowa each registered 4.3%. The applicants include nurses-- public health, private, industrial, etc. --192; physicians--22; dietitians--6; occupational therapists--5; laboratory workers --2; crusade directors --2; publicity managers--I1; seal sale man- ager--1; matrons--2; social service workers--2. The number of letters required for this service averaged 177.3 per month. Since the beginning of 1923, vacan- cies reported--168; applicants regis- tered--161; posisions filled--52; ap- plications recalled--10. Charge No Fees The Institute regards this bureau as an important branch of its service in the public health field. It charges no fee. For this reason (and perhaps it is for this reason also that the priv- ilece is often abused) the institute feels justified in asking the co-opera- tion of the nurses and organizations whom it is serving in reporting whether the places it has under ad- visement have been filled or not. This co-operation is, of course, very important in enabling Miss Morrison to give adequate service. The institute welcomes all cor- respondence in this connection and as this department is Mrs. Sachs' own particular child she takes pride in having it reach the highzst possitl: giandn=4 of efficiency. poss') INSPECT WATER PLANTS Inspections have been made by sanitary engineers from the state department of public health of water purification plants at Evanston, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Fort Sheridan, Lake Forest, and Lake Bluff. All of these plants treat water obtained from Lake Michigan. You'll Be Just As Proud of your old bus as you || would be of a new one after we paint it for you.
