SCHOOL FOR WOMEN
TO LEARN NURSING

There will be school for women
who wish to learn home nursing in
Liberal in April, about the second
week of April. Unless twenty sign
up the school will not be held. Ten
lessons are given in nursing and ten
in dietics. Practical demonstrations
will be given and every woman mar
ried or single who can take the time
should not let this opportunity slip
by, but get the course, for it is furn-
ished by the United States govern
ment. We pay registration fee of
$1.00 for local expenses. The wages
of the nurse as we'll as travelling ex-
penses are paid by the government.
Those who wish to enroll call 470
and give your name and pay your
dollar to Miss Nelson and we will
have arrangements made to have the
nurse here.
An evening school is being planned
but we have not heard from head
quarters yet so we cannot promise
that there will be one, but if twenty
sign up for it, we hope to get it.
The purpose of the course in nurs.
ing is to give training in first aid and
emergency nursing. We are near.
ing the time when we will have to
sacrifice our doctors to the call OF
our nation and the government il
planning these courses of instruction
so that women can heroically do the
service of the absent doctor in emer
gency cases.
