Asheville, Feb. 16.-With a view of

those kind ladies moved the table and
invited us in where we could stand in

We agree with the correspondent in

about infringing on the rights of the

many women were moved by patriotic
impulses to serve their country in some
way he was unable to find any who
were willing to scrub floors or clean
dishes.
Many institutions, he showed, were
already embarrassed by an alarming
lack of pupil nurses, attributed to the
patriotic appeal of the government.
DR.. Elizabeth johnson Van Slyke, of
the Woman's Hospital, said that the
situation there was relieved by the ad-
dition of six society girls to the train
ing school. These girls, many Of them
debutantes, she said, were hard work
ing and sincere, one of them having
gone to France, where she has been
mentioned for the Croix de Guerre.
The professional staff difficulties
were mainly. due to the withdrawal of
interns, said DR.. S. S. Goldwater, Of
Mount Sinai Hospital, declaring that
40 per cent of the hospitals Of the
country had no interns at all. Assign
ments from the army did not solve
the problem, he added. The prolonga-
tion OF this condition, he said, would
send many hospitals quickly into bank
ruptcy.
DR.. Goldwater proposed that the Fed
eral government be appealed to for as
sistance, and resolution was adopted
urging the President Of the United
States to take such action as will pro-
vide an uninterrupted training of
nurses, nurses' aids and physicians in
numbers suf1cient to meet both mill
tary and ctvdo needs.
