Tho Nurses Training School

Tho Nurses Training School
There are 1879 nurses training
schools in this country. Their need
is as great and imperative as that of
the Army School of Nursing. Those
who enroll for these schools will be
assigned as vacancies occur.
The enrolment card will indicate
two classes of registrants-Preferred
and Deferred. The. Preferred class
will be those who are ready to ac,
cept assignment to whatever hos
pital the Government directs them,
although they may state what train
ing school they prefer to be sent to.
Those who register in the Preferred
class will be assigned first, and all
possible consideration will be given
to their preference as stated. The
Deferred class is composed of those
who limit their pledge of service
that is, who will not engage to go ex-
cept to certain hospitals. This class
is intended largely for those who,
for family reasons, can not accept
training at a distance from their
homes. Those who register in the
Deferred class will be assigned only
after the Preferred class is exhausted.
The Government relies on the pat
riotism of those who enroll to fill
out Preferred cards if they possibly
can. thus volunteering to go where
they are most needed.
Nobody will be assigned to any
schools whose conditions of training
are not approved by the State Board
of Nurse Examiners.
Terms Of Trsining-The term of
training varies from two to three
years, according to the requirements
of the particular school to which the
student nurse may be sent. No
course takes less than two years nor
more than three.
What the Training Course Pre-
pares for-At present every woman
who completes satisfactorily her
training in any accredited school is
eligible for service as an Army nurse
at the front and stands chance Of
being assigned to duty abroad. At
the same time she will be qualified
to earn her living in one of the no.
blest professions open to women. 1t

$4,000 WOMEN TO ENROLL
United States Student Nurse Reserve

The Government is calling for
$4,000 young women to join the
United States Student Nurse, Re-
serve and hold themselves in readi-
ness to train for service as nurses.
The war is creating an unprece-
dented demand for trained nurses.
Only those who have taken the full
training course are eligible for SER
vice with our forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely from
our hospitals at home. Their places
must be filled by student nurses en-
rolled for the full training course of
from two to three years. Every
young woman who enrolls in the
United 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 de-
fense. Upon the health of the Amer
lean people will depend the spirit of
their fighting forces.
Age-The call is for women be-
tween the ages of nineteen and thir-
ty-five.
Observation-Disclosures, respon-
sible women of good education and
sound health are wanted-the pick
of the country. A college education
is valuable asset, and many hospit
ais will give credit for it. Credit
will also be given for special scien-
tifc equipment ore for preliminary
training in nursing, such as that
given in special courses now being
conducted by various colleges and
schools. Some schools, on the other
hand, do not even require full high
school education.
Enro'imens-Women will be given
an opportunity to enroll in the Unit
ed States Students Nurse Reserve in
any one of three ways:
CD As engaging to hold them
selves in readiness until April l, 1919,
to accept assignments to nurses
training schools. These women will
be sent to the schools as fast as va
cancies occur. Those of superior
qualifications will be given prefer
ence, and it is, of course, possible
that not everyone who enrolls will
be accepted.
(2) AS desiring to become candi-
dates for the Army Nursing School
recently established by authority of
the War Department, with branch
schools in selected military hospitals.
(3) AS engaging to hold them
selves in readiness until April l, 1919,
to accept assignments to either a
civilian training school or the Army
Nursing School. Those who so en-
roll will be called where the first
need arises. Tho Government hopes
that . majority Of those who enroll
will thus put down their names for
both.

Wheat. The visible supply of wheat
IN Canada showed decrease for the
week Of 4,64l,00 bushels. This to-
gethcr with the decrease in the United
States visible practically resulted in
a loss Of so per cent Of the American
stock during the past week, and the
total IN both the United States and
Canada is now only 5,903,000 bushels,
compared with 1921 eco a wear ago.
This brings the supply of wheat down
very close to the vanishing point and
emphasizes the necessity of very
stringent economies during the bal
ance OF the present crop year While
this small supply appears rather
alarming, 1T is the prevailing impres-
sion among good authorities that
America will get through the season
without any undue shortage, while at
the same time the outlook for the new
crop is exceptionally promising. Many
believe that unless some unforeseen
disaster occurs there is verv GOOD
chance of the United States produc-
ing 90OO00,000 to a billion bushels of
wheat this year, while the crop N
Canada has also gotten favorable
start on an enlarged acreage.
Corn.-The corn market was nervous
and feverish throughout the day, with
numerous price changes both ways
Early in the session there was an up
turn of Mc. in the July position on
scattered buying prompted by further
complaints regarding the condition of
seed corn and fears that the continued
cool weather will delay planting oper-
ations. Subsequently weaker tone
developed on predictions of warmer
weather, and final quotations were
1sc. to 12c.' below the final of Mon
day. The cash position showed weak
mand and slightly larger receipts. The
decline in oats also exerted bearish
influence, and buyers were inclined to
be very cautious.
