Intcndcnt 81 the hospital. had request
from Washington to increase the scope
of the tralring school al the hospital and
make active preparation TOR the enrolling
of Young women into her classes IN the
hope that older and experienced nurses
could bc released for overseas service.
Following 4 conference with the board
of managers this campaign VAS actively
begun then among others, The problem
of housing the increased classes threatened
10 become Iusurmountable, tut each
obstacle has heeu overcome n I presented
itself
The question Of housing has been most
solved hy the. leasing of the old Harvey
home nj Tenth and Jefferson streets and
complete renovation has transformed II
INTO Quarters for sixteen nurses The
house i, ideally located for the purpose
and will give the night nurses. at least,
All opportunity 10 rest in quiet, far from
the noise Of the street cars and other
over -bridge traffic
II Is planned that the work Of the train

inSuring 20 the pupll-nursss the most
efficient practical training.
One of the Innovations To be established
this wear Will be a course IN social service
work To the hospital worker the needs
of social service are Imperative and Il
better and more intelligent Wilmington
should be the ultimate result Of such
instruction.
Miss Marston. who has had charge OF
the detetiCs for several years, continues
in her work and already plans for the
increase in the school Miss Marston
is a graduate of Miss Forhand's school
of Domestic Science III Boston, one OF the
foremost schools OF It's sort IN the country,
and had her practical training at Jefferson
Hospital In Philadelphia.
A maternity course Is also included In
the training, the department a'como-
dating fifteen cases. This department
has grown so steadily and 50 rapidly that
a new building must be provided in the
near future to take care OF its needs
Applicants for nurses training classes
must have either two years in High School
or It's equivalent. This not only raises
the standard of the classes but confines
the personnel Of the hospital staff TO a
most desirable class.
