have already been enrolled by
the American Red Cross, many
of whom have volunteered for
war service, according to a
statement made public at Red

ed, not for the firing line,
but for the 1922 training
schools for MUSES. in the Unit
ed States. At present there
are in the United States APP
proximately 50, 900 registered
nurses, of whom only 5000
are public health nurses.
America needs a far greater
number OF trained women to
aid in the prevention OF dis
ease epidemics, for industrial
accidents and for the general
preservation of public health
Nevertheless, this available
supply Is being cut down
rapidly by war requirements.
Thousands have gone volun-
tarily to France and Others
have gone into public work,
directly or indirectly, related
to the war.
These depletions must be
met. Therefore, an appeal
has been sent to women's and
co.educational colleges and
high grade private schools.
The response to date has been
generous. For example, one
New York hospital had forty
applicants for admission as
students last June, There
were 624 applications last
July and August. More than
so per cent Of this number
were college women. The
governmentneeds nurses, but
only trained nurses can be
accepted for important work.
