1t is planned to complete the district
organizations with a view of aiding in
the more thorough and more perman-
ent state organization.
The graduate nurses Of the country
have had large part in the activities
of the past year. Now they are asked
to meet and reorganize. The Nation
al association has recognized the fact
that there exists unnecessary duplica-
tion of membership. Every state has
been asked to organize by districts.
In the future membership in the state
and National organizations will be
only through the District organization.
The plan followed is to be similar of
that of the National and State Medi-
cal societies.

and second districts to be held in Ke-
nosha on Thursday afternoon an or
ganization will be formed and it is ex-
pected that this organization will be
very active in directing the activities
OF the state ASSOCIATION In this section
Iof the state. The graduate nurse like
all other people is being called to meet
ia lot of changes as result Of the end
of the war. The large part that the
nurses have had in war work has
brought to them the necessity of organ
|izing more than ever. before. It is evi-
dent that the entire profession must be
|reorganized with the return of thols-
|ands of women who have done heroic
services at the front and the reorgani.
cations must be effected largely throug,
state and national bodies.
The meeting in Kenosha will be con
cluded on Thursday afternoon and the
only social event planned in connec-
tion with it will be a luncheon in hon
or of the visiting nurses.
