piled to children, generally
calls up visions of bright eyes,
rosy cheeks. 1.-THE and splen-
didly developed bodies. 1t has taken
the American Red Cross to discover
that the country school child is in
greater need of medical attention than
the youngster in the city, that cpl
denies are of more frequent occurrence
in rural regions than in cities, and
that the country family is more help
less in the face of disease and conta-
gion than is the family dwelling in
the most populous tenement district
of New York or Chicago.

the isolation of the people of the coun-
try from all of the remedial and pre-
ventive forces hedged about the deni-
zens of cities by health officers, public
nurses, hospital authorities and what
not. straightway turned over to the
Red Cross Association in July, 1912, a
100000 endowment to apply to this
purpose, and new department, called
The Town and Country Nursing Serv-
fce.' was established, with Miss Fannie
+. Clement as director and animating
force generally of the new service.
year after the endowment was
made, the first rural nurse was sent
forth on this new and untried mission.
AS 1t was an innovation and likely to
be looked upon unfavorably by con-
servatives wherever the nurse was
sent. Miss Clement permitted no pre-
iminary preparation to be overlooked
The first nurse was a graduate regis
tered nurse of a general hospital she
had had a year of practical experience
in visiting nursing and an eight-month
course in rural sociology and kindred
subjects dealing with the problems of
the country in one of the higher insti-
tutions of learning. and she was
member of a nurses association affili-
ated with the National Nurses Asso-
citation.
Country nursing took" The need
of the country was found to be real
one, and the qualifications of the Red
Cross nurse met that need with sur
prising success. From one community
supporting public nurse in July, 1913,
the number has grown to fifty. scat
tered quite broadly over the United
States, though at present there is more
interest shown in the east.
There is one nurse in Arizona. one in
North Dakota. three in Michigan. one
in Alabama. and number in South
and North Carolina and Kentucky. The
service is well represented in New Jer-
sey. New York, West Virginia and Nir
ginia. Increase in the number of
schools to train workers, the awaken
ing of the enthusiasm of women them
selves in the work and recognition
from the country of the need of such
service are factors which will have to
grow side by side and each aid toward
the fruition of the idea. All indica-
lions point to the rapid spread of the
service as soon is it gets well rooted

was accused of the following crimes:

them appear to be heavy-witted Off
Gals who enforced brutal and annoy

sons of the gendarmes He represented
them as not enjoying the respect of AL
satan pupils. while Father Vetter. the
old AIsatian schoolnaster, is beloved and
revered.
3. He glorifled the French past of AL
Lorraine and ridiculed every
thing German.
The prosecutor reproached Hansi
with showing little French flags every
where in his book, even decorating AL
satan cakes with them. and making a
sly little alsatian girl put a French
rooster" Of dough among the pretzels
for the baking.
He accused him of drawing storks

soldier dolls in the arms of sleeping
Alsatian babes in their cribs, accord
