mother who had offered a daugh-
ter to the cause was extolling the value
Of the services she might be able to
render in time of war to a friend of
ners who happened to have been a
trained nurse before she married.
Dear Marie" she said, never want
ed to get up in the morning and she
never cared for walking: it amazes me
to see what she is doing now for the
sake of her country.
The wonderful girl is not contented
with learning the simpler ways in
which she can he Of use. such as first
aid and field cooking, she is actually
taking courses in wireless telegraphy
and wig -Wagging whatever that is.
Isn't it wonderful?"
But the former trained nurse smiled
broadly.
MY dear Mrs. Smith," she said. Sup
pose war really did come home to US, do
you imagine for an instant that your
eighteen-year- old daughter would be
allowed to take charge of a wireless
that she would ever find wig -wagging
of the slightest use to her or in fact
that she would have any grip whatever
on these two very difficult sciences?
And as far as her training in first
aid would go. ! can assure you that she
would not be of any value in case of
war. In the first place, first aid is rem
dered either directly on the battle front
or just back of it, exclusively by men.
The first station to which the wounded
are brought is also exclusively in
charge Of men.
THE place in which women would be
of use would be the big central hospi-
tails. Do you imagine that first aid
would be needed there? A nurse to be
of value must have had three years
hard and arduous training. DO you
think that your daughter would be
capable of doing any but the most sim
pie tasks and those under competent
supervision?
please understand that ] don't mean
that | don't approve of first-aid in
struction, / think it a useful thing for
any girl to know. but as for imagining,
AS some people seem to do, that in two
weeks it is possible to learn to care for
the wounded. or. in fact to be useful in
any way in war time-that's what thor
oughly diSgusts me-"
