there will be no dearth of volunteers.

women are preferred. The tuition for the
course is $50, which includes living expenses

sible by the generosity of Wellesley College,
which has subsidized the entire enterprise.
The women who have enrolled and who began
their training last Thursday morning are for
the most part professional who have
