A Week in Dublin

DURING MY FIRST WEEK IN IRELAND, I have been overwhelmed by the magnificent vitality of current dramatic production that I have seen in Dublin as well as read about in numerous periodical accounts concerning county festivals going on all over the island. I find little evidence, at least in the dramatic medium, of the paralysis that crippled Joyce's Dubliners. Rather there is everywhere apparent the spiritual regeneration he envisioned as potential, especially in his "two-sighted" story "The Dead." Remarkably, my introduction to Irish theater was Tennessee Williams' new play, You Touched Me, presented by the Gas Company Players of Dun Laoghaire, a suburban theatrical society of surprising ability. Donald Windham's re-vamping of this American drama to suit British audiences was stirringly acted by these "professional" amateurs.

FEEDING OF PREMATURE INFANTS

THE FEEDING of premature infants in the hospital nursery will be discussed under three headings: ( a ) problems during the first week of life, ( b ) problems after the first week and ( c ) problems on discharge to the home. PROBLEMS DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF LIFE During the first week, while the infant is making numerous physiologic adjustments incident to birth, the problem is to meet his minimum maintenance food requirements without exceeding his ability to ingest and retain the foodstuffs offered. There are, then, two considerations: technic of feeding and a correct estimate of maintenance requirements. Technic of Feeding .—Major emphasis must be placed, during this period, on the proper choice of the method of feeding, i. e., from nipple, medicine dropper or gavage, whichever is indicated by the individual infant's strength. The quality and the quantity of nursing care will also help determine the choice of the method of feeding,
