warning countries. He stated that
similar effects were to be expected in
America,
over three hundred doctors have
already enlisted from Virginia, and
the number the state must supply Is
not yet complete" he said. AS the
number of doctors per 1000 of popu-
lation In Virginia before the war was
much smaller than in two-thirds OF
the other states in the Union, this
makes the shortage caused by the war
serious" DR.. Hibbs gave statistics
showing how few doctors there were
before the war, so that in Cumher-
land Gap and other mountainous dis
'tricts numbers of children die yearly
from want Of slight medical attention.
While this condition existed Ia the
poorer communities before the war, It

Remedy for Situation.
|. Dr. Hibbs explained how the slsu-
alton may be met 1T Is too Ions a
process TO train doctors. but II may
be met in two ways: by conserving
the public health and reducing the
amount of sickness for which a physi-
clans treatment is necessary; and by
the provision OF an adequate numbe
of public health or visiting nurses to
work under the direction OF the physi-
clans who remain. thus enabling them
to cara for larger number OF pa
TENTS.
Tho first way may be brought
about through the instruction OF
school nurses and the Issuing OF
health pamphlets and newspaper
articles similar to those sent out by
the food administration. The second
way liz by organizing visiting nurse
service in rural communities fashion

association in Richmond and other
