The Society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noise, of which she has been pres. from Inception, was organized with leading divines, educators, authors, hospital heads, phy- sicians, and other leading citizens, as directors and advisers. An ordinance was adopted by the Board of Aldermen forbidding all needless noise in the neighborhood of hospitals. A junior branch, organized in the public schools with the consent of the Board of Education, has been formed, enlisting the children in the cause of quiet near hospitals, or houses where serious illness Is known to exist.
