In 1905, after having long noted the reckless and unnecessary way In which passing tugs disturbed the quiet and prevented sleep in the neighbor- hood of her own home, and learning that the same noisy condition prevailed along the East River, to the great distress of patients In the several hospitals of that section, she determined on a campaign in which careful records were made showing an astounding number of unneces- sary noises on the rivers, and the nuisance was abated by the passage of the Bennet bill by Congress, which defines and restricts to a mini- mum the amount of whistling necessary for safe navigation. 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.
