9, Bureau of Public Health Nursing and Infant Hygiene: 



In 2 years has given aid and instruction to 11,000 expectant or 



new mothers, who needed intelligent care for themselves and their 



babies, that they were unable to secure. 



The economic value of this work is tremendous when computed 



in terms of the economic value of a human life, which is about $3500.00, 



but the intangible values based upon better health, greater efficiency 



and longer life are beyond computation.
