NURSES Are NEEDED
Young Women Are Urged to Take
Up Work.
Fled Cross Warts Experienced
Nurses Released for Service
Behind the Lines.

Washington. - Fifteen thousand
nurses have already been enrolled by
the American Red Cross, many Of
ice, according to statement made
public at Red Cross headquarters.
About two thousand have already been
sent to Europe. It is estimated that
the present registered force Is sufi-
cient to care for an army of a million
and half and approximately thou
sand nurses are being added monthly.
1T is Of the greatest Importance
that able and educated young women
should be urged to enter the regular
training schools and take the usual
course In order to at themselves fully
for nursing" said Miss Jane A. De.
lano, chairman Of the national commit
tee on nursing service. "While our
present needs are being met, the bur.
den Of the war will increase rapidly.
It Is highly desirable that the ablest,
most experienced nurses should be re-
leased for service behind the lines,
and constant supply Of younger
nurses, thoroughly trained, will allow
these older women to leave their posts
in this country without danger to our
own SICK"
The national committee is also en-.
rolling public health nurses with Q
view to- protecting them from service
as beside nurses where their special
training would not be fully utilized.
The Red Cross requirements for
nurses have been somewhat modified
I'm order that. If needed, thousands Of
additional nurses may be made eligi.
BILE for enrolment with the American
Red Cross and available for call
should the necessity arise.
The principle change contemplated
is to reduce the lower age limit fol
specially qualified nurses and to place
on the eligible list training schools fol
nurses which are Recommended BY
state boards Of registration" even
though the schools have a daily aver
age Of somewhat less than the re-
Quired fifty patients.
In order to increase further the
available supply of nurses the schools
for nurses giving three-year course
fday be requested to advance the date
OF graduation Of pupil-nurses. perhaps
to the end Of their second year Of
study. should the exigencies of wal
make such action seem desirable.

How to Help

1t is vitally necessary that the Lib
erty Loan be fully subscribed immed-
diately in order to equip our boys
RIGHT. The Government has offered
for sale two billions of bonds in de-
nominations of $50, 500, $500 and
upwards. Your plain duty'is to buy
as many of these bonds as you can.
They can be bought on the partial
payment plan. The first payment
need only be 2 per cent, 81 on a 800
bond. Anyone with any pocket mon
ey or an allowance of any kind
can find no excuse for not buying at
least, one $50 bond. You can make
the initial payment of 50 if you
please and pay the rest out Of your
savings. You can buy bond through
your husbands boss by paying 81
week. You can go to your bank, to
your husbands bank, or any bank, or
your husbands employer, and they
will receive you, not only cordially,
but with all the respect and honor
due to an American woman serving
her country.

1t has always been women's part
to bring comfort and alleviate suffer-
ing. Suffering, impaired health and
the most extreme discomforts are in
separable from war. 1t has always
been the women's part-it has always
been the blessed duty of womanhood
to alleviate this. 1t is of most vital
Importance that our men, whether
actively at the front or in training
camps in this country, be equipped
to the highest degree of efficiency.
We want our boys to have steel
trench helmets to protect them
against shells that burst overhead.
They have none today. They must
have gas masks-they must be pro-
tected against liquid fire which sears
flesh from the bones in an instant.
The difference of cost between two
grades of socks-a slightly superior
quality of underclothing may ward
off pneumonia, may repel consump-
ton, may keep some boys life from
being shattered.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-06-07

If your husband, your father, your
brother, son or sweetheart were at
the front and wounded, or i'll, or suf-
fering in any way. you would give all
you possess, every penny, your jew
els, your every treasure, to help him
and instantly-wouldn't you?
Think then, how the women folk of
the million who will go must feel to-
day. Do your part NOW for them,
that all the nation may repay you in
kind, if your very dearest is called to
face WAR somewhere in France, be-
fore we have won a final victory.

s. S. Officers Hold Conference.

The officers of the Bamberg Coun-
ty Sunday-school association held an
important conference in Olar Wednes-
nesday afternoon, May 30th. Those
present were: A. B. Utsey, Bamberg,
county PRESIDENT; DR.. L. A. Hartzog,
Olar. adult superintendent; Mrs. H.
j. Zeigler, Ehrhardt, secondary su-
perintendent; Rev. Achille Sassard,
Olar; D. J. Delk, president Bamberg
district; G. P. Herndon, president
Ehrhardt district; C. F. Rizer, pres
ident Olar district; R. D. Webb, spar
tanburg, State Sunday-school secre-
tary.
The purpose of the conference was
to make out a programme of service
for the county association during the
year. This county association, like
thousands of others the world over,
exists for the purpose of bringing def
mite. practical help to every school
in it's territory. In the effort to
reach and help the schools one of the
plans will be to hold an annual coun-
ty convention at which meeting ex-
pert Sunday-school workers will
make practical talks and the local
Sunday-school people of all denomi-
nations will have an opportunity to
exchange Sunday-school ideas. The
county is divided into four districts,
and at least two conventions will be
held in each district every year. The
county and district officers will per-
sonally visit the schools of the coun-
ty and carry to them helpful mes
sages. Hundreds of Sunday-school
leaflets will be distributed during the
year and these will help to increase
Sunday-school efficiency in the coun-
ty.
Many things were definitely plan
ned Wednesday. The banner county
standard of efficiency was set as an
aim for the year. While this county
standard is being reached it will be
the aim to add at least one point of
efficiency to every school in the coun-
ty. such as cradle roll, home depart
.nent, graded lessons, teacher train
ing class, and good records. The ele-
mentary division will aim to organ
ize ten cradle rolls and secure the
adoption of graded lessons in at least
ten schools. The secondary and adult
division each will aim to organize
ten classes in the county.
It was decided to hold series OF
district conventions in the county du-
ring the last of July. A convention
will be held in each Of the four dis
tricts in four days. At the request
of the county officers State worker
will spend these four days in the
county assisting the local workers IN
the district conventions. The annual
county convention will be held be-
tween August l and August -. Inc
time and place will be announced at
an early date.
The Bamberg county association
which was organized only short time
ago, is entering into the work with
enthusiasm and will be. it is oeileV-
ed, the means of bringing apout
greater efficiency in all the Sunday
schools of all denominations in the
county.-Contribut

How Would YOU
Feel?

You can help save the lives of
many boys. You can preserve them
from extreme discomfort, from seri-
Gus danger, and, as you will do in
this emergency, just so the mothers,
sisters, sweethearts of the whole ma
ton will do. AS you want them to
feel, and act, and do, to safeguard
the lives of all the young men of the
nation, so you must feel, and act, and
do. You must exert all your strength,
for the nation needs your help NOW.

Let US hope and pray that they will
not be called-but do not let US blind
ourselves to the possibility that they
MAY be called. Remember, twenty
million men are fighting today, and
twenty million men have been killed,
shell-torn, mangled, blinded, wound
ed and invalided before this. All
Europe is af1ame, and we are just 60
ing in. WAKE UP to it. We are at
WAR-and you may pay with bitter
years of sorrow if you fail to open
your eyes to it today.

1t is true that in the first call for
men, the ages are confined to Fl
to 80 inclusive. But we may find
lit necessary to put three million
men or more in the field. Don't
you know that in our civil war,
men of sixty and boys of sixteen
fought shoulder to shoulder before
the war was done? Don't you
know that Sixty and Sixteen are
fighting shoulder to shoulder today
somewhere in France?
Be very certain of one thing,
this war will touch your home in
some way, either through son,
father, brother or someone very
dear to you, before the war is done.
Is your husband past fifty? How
long could he stand sleeping in the

CONTINUATION EDUCATION.

on February two The date Immediately fol-
lows that of the closing of the annual meeting
of the National Chamber of Commerce and DR..
Claxton has shown wisdom in planning this first
conference, which will be concerned particular
" with the relations of education to national
industries. at time when educators and
prominent businessmen will meet at the CAPT
tai. The interchange of views, which 1t Is
planned to make free and intimate by means OF
round table discussions rather than set adj
dresses, should prove of great heIpfulness IN
planning we'll for the enlargement of our school
system to admit of greater attention to voca-
tional training.
The most significant thing TO be noted In the
preliminary discussions, which are current IN
periodicals and in reports of addresses In the
daily papers, is the advocacy of extension OF
education beyond the time when pupils must go
to work. 1t is now recognized that while much
can be done while laying better foundation for
the use of the hands as well as the head IN ele-
mentary school practice the real training which

sional work the pupil elects must in a large ma

interested in the continuation school plan
which has been so successful in Cleveland and

businessmen and educators, who must coop
crate in making continuation education prac-
teal and economical, to exchange opinions and
information.
