Ordinarily Ormsby leaves his office at 4

with the solemn Joy of one who announces

In some cases high fences may be en-
countered and the men are drilled how to
overcome this obstacle when bearing a
badly wounded patient. At times single

soldier on the field. He examines the SOL
then. since he has no assistance, the hos
p1tal man adopts the only course in the
emergency and carries the patient on his

feat for the uninitiated, but the members
of the corps are trained how to do it.

There are several ways of carrying a
wounded comrade without the use IF lit

wounds in different regions of the body,

In the course of instruction under the
subject of first aid to the wounded the
members of the corps not only receive
practical experience at the bedside in the
hospital but are taught the nature
of different wounds and the manner
and method of treating each in cases Of

containing scissors, pins, needles, thread,
etc; a roll of wire gauze, flask with aro-
matte spirits of ammonia, case knife, six
packages of prepared bandages, six gauze
bandages, a spool of plaster and other little
things that the hospital man may wish to
take with him.
The Hospital Corps men carry no wea-
pons, with the exception of big "bolo''
knife. This knife is "fearfully and wonder
fully made 1t has handle about five
inches long and an inch and a half thick,
while the blade Is more than a foot long
and about two and a half inches wide

strengthening knife was patterned after
the Filipino bolo, and 1t serves for many
purposes. Among other things, it is used
as weapon of defense in cases of emer

cutting grass cutting down small trees,
whiting out splints, digging trenches. cut

With this equipment the members of the
corps appear each afternoon between 3 and

and of this number approximately 300 are
sergeants first class, 500 are sergeants.
20 are corporals. and the remainder
are privates of the first class and pri-
Yates. The compensation of members OF
the corps is greater than that of nom
commissioned officers and privates in other
branches of the service. The privates in
the corps receive monthly salary of SIG;
prfvates of the first class, SIS; corporals.
$50; sergeants. SO. and sergeants of tho
first class, S45 In addition to this salary
these men receive their clothing and RAJ
tons, which is an item worthy OF consid-
Grafton.
Perhaps no other branch of the army
service offers so many opportunities to the
enlisted men as the army Hospital Corps.
At the present time there are many va
cancies for non-commissioned officers.
The chances for promotion are numerous,
for the members are in demand. The per-
sonnet of the corps is also OF a very high
standard, since the special character of the
duties and of the instruction requires men
OF intelligence and good habits. 1t is learn
ed that there are enlisted in the corps law
yers, doctors, and even young preachers, IN
addition to many clerks and young men OF
various other occupations.
The company for instruction at the Army
General Hospital here is in command Of

The armies of the world are constantly
seeking to increase their destructive power
whether in offense or defense. and yet in
modern times they are all devoting no lit
tie share of attention to the gentle and mer-
ciful occupations of saving life, relieving
suffering. and eliminating the cruelties
which come as inevitable incidents of war.
1t is conceded by army officers that there
has been a great need of such men
Uncle Sam is now training in the army
medical corps, even in times of peace, and
in establishing the schools of instruction
the United States has taken a step in ad-
vance of the other nations with respect to

hospital. They are instructed how to treat
cases OF asphyxiation, drowning, uncon-
seriousness, fractures, gunShot wounds in
various parts of the body and in fact, all
ly to incur.
One of the most interesting features of
the indoor training is the instruction in
diet cooking. This course is intended to
give the men a good working knowledge
or now to prepare the various articles of
diet furnished for the sick in military
hospitals, and the instruction is given by
trained nurse. Each man in the corps is
required to roll up his sleeves and delve
into the arts of the culinary, actually pre-
pairing the various diets Each man also
is instructed in the care of kitchen uten-
Sis and those used in the field mess and
food chests. The particular uses of each
diet are also taught to the members of the
corps.
Not a very large variety of medicines
and drugs is used in the army field hos
pitfalls. but the hospital men are given
practical instruction in the properties of
these drugs and the proper doses Phar-
macy and materia medica are also taught
in practical way. 1t is stated that a fair
proportion of these students become cap
able and competent army dispensing
clerks.
Instruction in nursing is also given by
a trained nurse and the men are taught
how to shake up the mattress, spread the
sheets and arrange the quilts and blan-
kets with the proficiency of a good house
wife. They are also taught how to take
temperatures, make out charts, prepare
solutions, dressings, &c. and, in addition,
particular attention is given to instruc-
ton in the care Of helpless and uncon-
scious patients All the members of the

writing letters and various other features
of office routine
These features described are merely
few of the many things the members Of
the army hospital corps are taught to do
IN the brief term Of four months. 1t is
not very long term, and yet the work
has been made SO practical and system
attic that the men learn rapidly, and ex-
perlence has proved the efficiency of the
instruction.
For the last three years the company has
taken part In the encampment of the Ma
tional Guard of Pennsylvania at Mt. Gretna
and Gettysburg, marching to and from
the place of encampment with full field
hospital equipment and transportation, and
instructing the National Guard in the duties
of the hospital corps In the field In time OF
, war. The company also took part in the
field maneuvers of the army at West Point
KY, and Fort Riley Kan, in 1903. and at
Manassas, Va, last fall, dividing upon ar
rival at these points, each division forming
a base for the organization of the different
field hospitals. ambulance companies, medi-
cal supply depots, etc, required IN the
operations of army in the field. In at
tending the state encampment at Gettys-
burg and the maneuVers at Manassas the
company spent nearly three months in the
field.
In the early part of July the company
usually takes the field with several OF the
state organizations erecting field and regi-
mental hospitals and assigning subdivisions
of the company to the different organiza-
tons for the purpose of instruction and
experimentation remaining in the field from
three to four weeks.
The school of instruction for the Hospi-
tai Corps is no longer on an experimental
footing. There is a great demand for the
services of these men trained in Uncle
Sans army schools. and in several in
stances professional nursing schools have
applied for some of the graduates. The
student officers of the medical department
of the army, during their eight months
course at the Army Medical College in
this city are also instructed In the field
work &c, of the army Hospital Corps.
\
The Hospital Corps is composed of nom
commissioned officers and privates. the
companies being commanded by officers of
the medical department, of which the corps
Is branch. There are now in service
about 1900 members of the Hospital Corps.

method and character Of the instruction
and by the reorganiza ton of the corps
During the past few years the school OF
instruction at the general hospital here
alone has sent out annually about $40 men
trained to properly care for the sick and
wounded, both on the field of battle and IN
post hospitals in times of war ana OF
peace.
The Hospital Corps is part Of the med
ical department of the United States army,
and the two training schools for this par
ticular branch of the service are officially
designated as Hospital Corps companies
Of instruction" The school at the gen.
eral hospital Is known as Company A,
Hospital Corps.
The course of instruction In the school
for recruits covers period or FOUR months
and in addition to discipline it embraces
the following subjects: Duties of soldier,
litter drill, first aid to the wounded ana
hygiene. anatomy and physiology dlet
cooking nursing including bandaglng and
the use of the medical department appli-
ances; materia medica and pharmacy, care
of animals, clerical work and field work
Selected men who have comp leted TINS
course of instruction may be given two
months additional instruction In one or
two of the subjects mentioned. At the
close of each course all of the student sol
diers are examined in the subject gone over
and those making an average of 10 per cent
are given timely engraved certiIcdles S6Heo
by the company officers and post COM
mander.
The hundred and more men at the Cen
eral Hospital are divided into four
classes, graded according to the number OF
months the members have been under IN
struction. Each month class numbering
approximately twenty-five men on the av-
erage is graduated and sent out to the
various army posts. and the graduates are
replaced by new recruits, so that the num-
Der constantly under instruction at the
school averages about 100 or 40 men.
To the public the field work of the corps,
the litter drills and work of that character,
is probably of greater interest than the in
door features of the training. Each member
of the corps is equipped with the customary
army haversack, and in addition the hos
pital man carries pouch. which apparent
" has a capacity for as many different
articles as the mysterious caverns OF
small boys pockets or the magic box of the
magician. In this pouch, which Is about
