The Government Wants Women.


The government is calling for q, 900
young women to join the United States
students nurse reserve and hold them
selves in readiness to train for SER
vices as nurses. The war is creating
and unprecedented demand for trained
nurses. Only those who have taken
the full training course are eligible for
service with our forces overseas.
These nurses are being drawn largely
from our hospitals at home. Their
places must be filled by student nurses
enrolled for the full training course
of from two to three years. Every
young woman who enrolls in the I'm
tied States student nurse reserve is
releasing a nurse for service at the
front and swelling the home army
which we must rely on to act as our
second line of hospital defense. Up
on the health of the American people
will depend the spirit of their fight
