And yet during Che three years that young man was here hg was never invited into a home or Co spend an evening at private house.

Douglas. September 23 Dear Stroller.
 want Co tell you in the outset that much of your twaddlc about al- lowing yea. Inviting women Co weep out. their troubles on your shoulders gives me pain amid ships. A fellow would think Co read your vaporlngs that only women ever have any troubles; that the troubles of men arc not Co bc taken seriously. but simply serve them right
 Now. you know just where you stand is my cstImatiou but am going Co say something else. 10 Is this.
 The women of this community are probably just as good os Che women ot any other community. | reckon they are. as my forty years cXpcri- cucc has taught me that women are similar wherever you dnd them. tNot exactly similar. either, for no two women think alike one time and no one woman thinks alike two timcs.I But what started Go say is this.
 Tho women of this community have never treated Che young men as they should have treated them. ] don't mean Che young men whose homes are here. but those who have come here Co seek employment and who have found it. ! have iu mind one case in particular -as uicc a young man as ever dedicated wax ou a dancing floor. He stayed on Che Island for three years and during an that time never a word was ut- tered against his morals which were as clean as a freshly lauudrici suow- lakc. The ladies would meet him at a dance at Che "Nat" and say. 'La me. what nice young man

RED CROSS TO
 TRAIN NURSES
Scholarships Being Given in Many Institutions for Eight
 Months Course

In order tO encourage more nurses Co take up thc work of public health nursing. Che Rcd Cross offers num- bor Of scholarships to qualified nurses for nn eight months course on tho subject In several schools, colleges and universities.
 10 further offers Co supplement these scholarships through a loan fund, upon which student may draw Co an amount equal Co a schol- urship.
 These scholarships have been do- mated by the New York County Rcd Cross chapter. the Boston Metropol- itan chapter and by other organi- cations. They are in Che Columbia University New York City; Sim mons College. Boston; School Of Ap- piled Social Science at Western Re- serve University, Cleveland, Ohio; School of Nursing and Health, unl- vorsity of Cincinnati, Ohio; and School of Civics and Philanthropy Chicago. The value Of a scholarship is $s5O.
 Circular Sent Training Schools
 A circular setting forth these facts has been sent by Che Red Cross Bu- rcau of Town and County Nursing Service Co approved hospital train ing schools of the country and to numerous nursing organizations It is hoped that other chapters or or ranizations may further Che health work In their communities by simi- lar offers of scholarships, or, where this Is not possible may encourage nurses Co avail themselves of schol- arships given by others. and other wise promote the cause of public health nursing.
 Thousands of nurses are ready and willing Co respond Co ocall from Che Red Cross for war service, while comparatively few arc prepared for thc constructive community health work SO important Co conserve the interest of the home. Oftontimos, too. nurses may be found for city work when it is very difficult to find women with adequate hospital training who have Knowledge Of public-hcalth nursing and who are willing to go to the smaller com mmunities.
 Work in Own Community
 Nurses serving under Che town and country nursing service are not subject to call for other Red Cross work outside their own community. A high-schooI education or its equiv alcnt is required og candidates for Che scholarships in addition to usual requirements for enrolment in Rcd Cross nursing service.
 Inquiries regarding the award of scholarships should be addressed. Director. Town and Country Nurs- mg Service. American Red Cross, Washington, D. C.
