For Trained
Health Supervisors

"Considering the tremendous impor-
tance of the health of women in in
dustry and the physical readjustment
which they will have to make before
they are satisfactorily absorbed into
the occupations Of men, and consider
practically dependent on the intelligent
cooperation of the workers with the
management of a plant, it is necessary
to have associated with any factory en-
ploying women a trained health super
visor, whose duties should be to see
that the hygienic surroundings in which
women work and live are made as salts
factory as is possible, and, too, to see
that they are taught to appreciate their
personal responsibility in matters con-
corning their own health.
"The British Ministry of Munitions
in the early months Of the war passed a
law to the effect that lady superin-
tcndents, as they were named, should
be appointed in all factories employing
women. This worked we'll in those fac
tories which secured the right kind of
superintendents, but it was resented by
the employees in less fortunate places,
where the patronizing kind prevailed.
For the most part these women SUPER
intendents were unframed and mex
perienced, and this accounted in many
instances for their failure to fill the
bill.
Britain has recently started courses
for the training of her women super
ntendents, and they are proving un-
mistakably their worth as factors of
efficiency for Britain's veal. This is
what we need right now in this country
"a school to train health officers or
women supervisors Of health. This
type Of executive is particularly the

Russian Officer
Urges Intervention
Led by American.

A statement calling for intervention
in Russia by England, France and the
United States, written by a distin
guished Russian officer, who has fought
the Germans for three years" who
mentions Japan just once in the course
of his appeal, was made public yester
day by the American Defence Society
He mentioned Japan as suitable
stopping place for Russians en- route
from the United States to Russia to
engage in propaganda work.
The Intervention should be conduct
ed under the American flag, he says,
and he regards Vladivostok as the best
point of entry because of the stores
accumulated there, the shops and the
Transsiberian Railway. The Ameri-
can troops, he thinks, should have
strong Slavic element among them
Many Russian officers would be found
available to cooperate in the expedi-
ton, he says, both in a military way
| and as propaganda directors.
A strong propaganda must accom-
pany the mllltary 1Orce and also
considerable relief organization, he de-
clsres. He recommends that the Allies
work in complete harmony with Ad-
niral Kolchak, former commander of
the Black Sea feet, who is now in
| Harbin.
The masses of the people in Rus
sia," he says, will support interven-
tion, provided the military operations
be accompanied by propaganda and a
broad relief work and the Allies issue
proclamation recognizing the politi
cal independence OF free Poland, in
cluding the three Polands
Prussian and Austrian of Bohemia,
and the JuRo-Slavs."

EALTH is a nations greatest
asset for achievement, and it
is hundred and one other
things for the individuals who make a
,st;on possible. At no time more than
- the present has there been greater
need to have .hc truth Of this borne
in on US. And what are we doing
about it:
The Secretary of War, Mr., Baker,
will tell you that we, the United States
of America, in this year Of grace 1918
are doing very definite and remarkable
things for strengthening the health
of this nation by training millions Of
men to be physically fit to meet the
exigencies of war cover there" By
way of proof he can point to groups
of men who leave civilian life in nom
descript groups for the various can
tonments, and later, renewed in body,
take ship for the service overseas. His
proof is undenable. But not all of
the nation is included in those COM
panies of men.
Millions are left behino. What Of
them? But to keep our point OF view
within the lines for the building up
of military might, what of the physi-
cal wellbeing, particularly of the
women who are forming the army

workers. Absentee lists, poor time
keeping and large turnover are all
connected with the health problem of
any factory, whereas we'll kept hos
pital records show how much the out
put of factory is increased by the
elimination of even petty illnesses, the
illnesses which have heretofore been
accepted as necessary evils.
illnesses are always evils, but they
are not always necessary. And yet
at the present time the standards of
productivity in factories are defined by
the acceptance of those very evils. In
other words, the standards of output
in factories are defined by low stand
ards of health.
Seventy per cent of those dsa-
bilities can be eliminated from the lives
of the women who are employed in the
industrial world. They may be elimi-
mated from the lives of others. They
can be eliminated by wise teaching
of the value of hygienic conditions
both inside and outside the factories
in which women are employed. 1t is
absurd to suppose that women will
work effectively and with unbroken
time if they take no interest in their
health, and live on pickles and sweets;
if they are kept at work for such long
hours that they do not really have
sufficient time in which to recuperate
at night; if they sit or stand eight or
nine hours a day in the same position,
and get no exercise or play to counter
act the effect of monotony of posture,
or if they are admitted into a factory
without a physical examination and
are placed at work which is too heavy
for them.
Hygiene in Home
And Factory
"A demand of the moment, vital
concern of every manager of every
factory in which war supplies are
manufactured, is to compel a decrease
in i'll health among the women en-
ployes, in order that there may be an
increase in their efficiency. To this
end their lives must be made hygienic.
"Only two considerations are in
volved. hygienic factory and a hy-
gienic home. The conditions in the

need OF war industries, and it is what
other industries will come to-the en-
ployment of health officers who will
know how to interest the women of in
dustry in keeping up q high standard
OF output by sane methods of living: in
general, by establishing an esprit de
corps among all employees regarding
their health.
What does the course of training tor
such health officials involve? is peril
nent question. These health supervisors
should be able to give practical advice
to factory managers concerning rest
rooms, canteen service, the physical
condition of individual women, not
with respect to disease especially, but
with respect to the probable physical
endurance and efficiency of each wom-
an. And they should be able, by keep
ing in touch with the women, to OBJ
serve early signs of undue fatigue and
to suggest ways of obviatng strain and
conserving power. They should be able
to advise the women as to their diet,
rest, recreation and clothing.
The Ideal
Training Course
"The ideal course, without a doubt.
for this kind of training, should be
similar to the course given in the first
two years of the medical college. l
refer here to the schooling pertaining
to normal body functioning; this to be
supplemented by course in labor
problems and practical work for social
service among factory people. Such
study would turn out real industrial
| hygienists, who would be capable of
planning healthful conditions within
the factory and within the home. But
we cannot wait two years for the
graduates from such school. We
need trained women supervisors of
health now. We in the womens di-
vision of the Industrial Service Sec
tion of Ordnance have, therefore,
planned an intensive course of study
at Mount Holyokc College.
inexperienced women or young col
lege girls, recently graduated, we do
not mean to take for training in this
work. We have chosen, instead, those
whom we shall teach from two groups
of women: First, there are those
who have already had successful ex
perience as industrial supervisors or
social workers. Their previous study
will be supplemented by courses in
physiology and hygiene; these courses
to centre about the question of health
as it peculiarly affects the life of the
woman in industry. Second, there are
the graduates Of colleges Of physical
education whose training has been
supplemented by study of labor
problems and by practical interests in
factory problems.
"This school will be open from
June 26 continuously for eight weeks.
There is no tuition fee.

Importance Is
Being Recognized

"Vivid, wholesome personalities in
health supervisors will have stimu-
lating influences in any community
of women. Then, granted healthful
surroundings in which to labor, the
women factory forces will turn their
attention to the possibility of in
creasing their physical power with an
intelligence of appreciation to un
derstand the full meaning of this
power as it affects their value to
themselves and to their employers.
They need but have their imagina-
tions stirred to see the connection
between physical wellness and a full
ness of experience. They need but
have their imaginatons stirred to un-
derstand the significance of bodily
comfort and bodily health to their

in the industrial army as win-the-war
