A Call for Nurses

The residents of this part of the state will be intererted in the call for nurses issued by one of tho largest and most famous schools for nurses in the world the Philadelphia School for nurses, 22l0 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. The profession is so far from being over- crowded, that it is an important question among physicians how the deficiency may be made up, since no school is of sufficient capacity to meet the need. The nearest approach to solution has been found by the Philadelphia School for nurses. A generous endowment en- ables the school to enlarge its classes very greatly and to offer large number of free scholarships to suitable apph- cants. 1t is now desired to reach tho right class of young women in small towns and country districts, that it's classes for the coming year may be re- cruited from them. Classes are now forming in several of the courses of the school, and applications should be made promptly in order to secure early admit. tance. Full information will be sent upon request. ... .e
