Description
An account of the resource
Informational pamphlet about the National Health Circle for Colored People, Inc. <br /><br />The National Health Circle for Colored People developed out of the Circle for Negro Relief, an organization that helped meet the needs for black soldiers and their families during World War I. In 1919 the Circle was reorganized as a peace time program for the promotion of public health work in African American communities. <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015012320084&view=2up&seq=238" target="_blank" title="photograph of Belle Davis" rel="noreferrer noopener">Belle Davis</a>, a graduate of Fisk University, served as the Circle's executive secretary. Davis made over <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015012320084&view=2up&seq=236" target="_blank" title="Pathfinders, by Adah B Thoms" rel="noreferrer noopener">25,000 visits</a> in nine years to promote public health and welfare and raise awareness of the needs of black communities. <br /><br />The National Health Circle for Colored People also worked to recruit, educate and place African American public health nurses. They raised money for scholarship loans and at one time provided office space for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_of_Colored_Graduate_Nurses" target="_blank" title="NACGN in Wikipedia" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses</a>. <br /><br />This pamphlet list six "Objects of the Organization" and speaks to public health conditions, their causes, and the remedy. An appeal to both white and black citizens for membership is followed by endorsements from Theodore Roosevelt, R. R. Moton, Haven Emerson, M.D., and C. Everit Macy. <br /><br />Dr. Will W. Alexander of the <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Commission+on+Interracial+Cooperation" target="_blank" title="materials related to the CIC" rel="noreferrer noopener">Commission on Interracial Cooperation</a> is listed as a member of the Board of Directors. <br /><br />The Circle notes that "tuberculosis kills eleven times as many Negro boys between the ages of ten and fourteen as white boys, and about eight times as many colored girls as white girls." Life expectancy of blacks was less than that of whites, and as many as 96 out of every 1,000 African American babies died before their first birthday. <br /><br />Pictured on the front cover are two Scholarship Nurses of the Circle, Alice Alvenia Sightler, R.N., graduate of Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia (left) and Agnes Boozer, R.N., graduate of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem_Hospital_School_of_Nursing" target="_blank" title="Harlem Hospital School of Nursing" rel="noreferrer noopener">Harlem Hospital School of Nursing</a> (right).

Description
An account of the resource
Cover title: Suggestions for Institution Visitors.<br /><br />A small volume that offers guidelines or suggestions for those undertake the investigaton of county poorhouses, public hospitals, asylums for the insane, children's homes, and industrial schools (homes for wayward girls and boys). <br /><br />A chapter titled "Homely Hints" supplies remedies for typical institutional problems such as bedbugs, roaches, vermin, ringworm, scabes, and sore eyes.<br /><br />The final chapter addresses the need for standards by which such institutions may be evaluated. <br /><br />Throughout, Lathrop encourages the visitor/inspector to keep an open mind while being friendly, knowledgeable, confident and persistent. This advice was very much in keeping with Lathrop's own methods. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />p. 6 "If you meet superintendents in a candid and friendly spirit, they will probably meet you in the same spirit. They usually want to do their duty and they doubtless have many difficulties you do not see. Like the rest of the world, they will probably welcome the visits of intelligent, good-natured, reasonable persons who want to know them and who through various avenues of influence may be able to help them.<br /><br />Try to understand, then, first of all, the official point of view and the official difficulties. A critical, suspicious bearing will defeat your purpose to learn the facts."<br /><br />p. 7-8 "In many counties the superintendency of the county poorhouse and farm is let annually to the lowest cash bidder. In some counties the care of the poor is contracted for at a set price per head--the contract going to the lowest bidder....It is not Utopian to look forward to a period when the superintendent of such an institution shall be specially trained for such work, appointed on his merits and kept as long as he is a good officer."<br /><br />p.31 "There is a growing feeling that the State should recognize its own profound responsibility toward every child who, because of defect, or neglect, or poverty, or delinquency, cannot be protected and reared by its natural guardians. Any institution for children which is supported by public funds in whole or in part, or which solicits funds from the public, should welcome intelligent scrutiny."<br /><br />p.37-38 "It may be noted that corporal punishment is the one form of discipline which every inmate has probably known before entering the institution, and that it has, <em>prima facie,</em> failed of a satisfactory result."<br /><br />p. 44 "And, finally, may we offer this legend: To be good-tempered, to be just, to be patient, to be persistent, to be courageous and, again, to be good-tempered." <br /><br />
