GOVERNMENT NEEDS $4,000 GRAD
UATE NURSES IN FIELD
HOSPITALS.
MISS NAN DORSEY SPEAKS
Maury County Expected to Furnish
Quota-Two Have Volunteered and
Others Are Contemplating this
Noble Service.

Enthusiasm for securing Maury
county's quota of volunteer nurses for
the U. S. student nurses reserve was
increased by the visit and lecture
Friday night of Miss Nan Dorsey of
Nashville, district ied Cross nurse,
at the First Methodist church Miss
Dorsey was heard by representative
audience of Maury county men and
women. upon whom she impressed the
imperative need for $4,000 reserve
nurses who will take the places in the
hospitals of the graduate nurses who
are being sent to the battle front She
was introduced by DR.. E. l.. Bishop.
Competent nurses are necessary to
save the lives of the wounded men. In
experienced and amateur nurses can
be of no service in the field and base
hospitals where the work is so heavy.
So the hospitals of the country are be-
ing depleted of nurses. Their places
must be filled by volunteer students,
who will attend the civilian hospitals
at home as well as in The reconstruc-
ton hospitals in this country that Will
handle the badly wounded cases sent
over from France.
Miss Dorsey said that no class OF
girls and women doing public work
are better protected than those In

that the government does not want
women who claim a willingness to do
any kind of service. Hundreds of
women are being sent back from
