TO ENROLL STUDENT NURSES.


The Crisp County Unit, Woman's
Committee Council National Defense.
under Mrs. T. J. Durrett as chairman.
wishes to call the attention of the wo.
men of Cordele and Crisp County be.
tween the ages of 10 and 35, to the
consideration and study of "The En-
rollment Of U. S. Student Nurse
Reserve" The United States must
have $4,000 student nurses now-to
release graduate nurses for work at
the front. Without more student
nurses graduate nurses cannot be sent
ITO Europe and our wounded men will
suffer for want of nursing care. The
U. S. Government looks to the State
divisions and the county and local
units of the Woman's Committee to
supply these nurses. Georgias quota
of this number is 375 but we hope to
produce larger number of volun-
teers.
The Present Opportunity.
The duty of enrolling student nurses
in the present campaign is under the
direction of the surgeon general of
the army, the American Red Cross,
the woman's committee, Council Of
National Defense, the specific duty CT
enrolment having been turned over
to the woman's committee, Council of
National Defense, through state divi-
sicns in county unit councils.
The call is for women between the
ages of 10 and 35. They must be in
telligent, responsible women of good
education and sound health A college
education is valuable asset, and
many hospitals will give credit for it.
Credit will also be given for special
scientific equipment or for prelimin-
airy training in nursing, such as that
given in special courses now being
conducted by various colleges and
schools. Some schools, on the other
4and, dc not even require a full high
school education.
Enrichment.
Women will be given an opportunity
to enroll in the U. S. student nurse
reserve in any one of three ways.
l. AS engaging to hold themselves

cept assignments to nurses training
schools in civilian hospitals. These
women will be sent to the schools as
last as vacancies occur. Those of SUI
perior qualifications will be given
preference, and it is of course, possible
that not every one who enrolls will
be accepted
2. AS desiring to become candidates
