Norfolk. Va. Oct Tn order to
set at rest rumors AS to Wholesale
deaths among naval men from Span
lsh Influenza Captain l.. W. Spratiing.
commanding officer at the naval hos
pital. last night issued a statement
covering the history of the. epidemic
from September is. when the nlalady
began appearing at the naval stations
in the district and had taken on the
character OF an epidemic.
1t is a mild disease. said Capt
Spratiing. and people should not be
unduly alarmed at its character. al
though every possible precaution
should be taken to prevent its spread.
Everybody should refrain from I'M
necessary contact with others, he said
and he commended the action OF the
civil authorities IL. closing the
theatres and all places where large
numbers OF people are wont to gath
err.
pected the worst would be over early
next week, as such Is the history OF
the disease. the epidemic lasting about
three weeks. About the middle Of
next week. he said. there should be
gin a steady decline in the mum Der
Of new cases till the disease is entire
~ eradicated. Some people who
haven's yet experienced its effects are
to he victims. hut II great care is
taken. the number will not be large
Those who will fs-ii prey to the germ
will recover rapidly II they are given
the proper care aud pneumonia does
not set in before the disease is con
tront-d. The deaths have only been
about two per cent OF the total num-
her who contracted Influenza. he said
and they were all the result of pneu-
n,onia. which followed the attack OF
''f1u." He said that had there been
no widespread epider1ic many OF the
cases would have been diagnosed as
grip and cold.
II do not want 70 minimize the
dangers from Spanish influenza" said
DR.. Spratling. but TO stop the rumors
Of wholesale disease and death And
at the same time WIN to emphasize
the need Of watchfulness and care Of

SIX MONTHS SCHOOL
|. FOR ASSISTANT NURSES
Women Taking Six Months Intensive
Training in Nursing Will Be Given
Licenses to Assist Doctors.

Many young women who came to
Richmond this week to attend the
great state fair will not return to their
homes when the gates close Saturday
night but will remain here for the
early winter to attend the school for
licensed attendants, which opens In
the Mechanics Institute building
next Monday. Miss Julia Meliichamp
is directing the work for the Graduate
Nurses association, which Is respon-
sible for the enterprise.
Much impetus has been given the
school by the prevailing epidemic OF
Spanish influenza, and 1t is stated
that enrollments have been far
heavier within the last few days
Many of the most prominent young
women in Richmond and otner parts
of the state have entered and the list
is growing daily. Miss Mellicamp
asserts. however. that there are yet
several vacancies and students still
have -time-to make application II
they do so at once.
This course is for six months OF
intensive training in bedside care OF
the sick, cooking. cleaning and the
care of infants. Students completing
and will practice under the direct
supervision OF a registered graduate
nurse, who will direct and assist them
with the work. The association re-
CARDS it as the patriotic duty of every
young woman having taste for
nursing to take the course. which
cost only fifteen dollars.
There is a dearth of nurses through
ont Virginia, and the present crisis
indicates how essential these trained
or partially trained women are to the
health and morale of the community
Dr. Roy X. Flanagan. chief health
officer for Richmond, says that it will
be a long time before nursing condi-
tions become normal and wishes he
had nifty helpers ready TO 90 in the
field. Woman can take the course as
A war emergency or as a permanent
vocation for, IL is said. there will
always be great demand for the
attendants
