MUSIC PLAYS AN
IMPORTANT PART
In ARMY LIFE

An article written by May Stanley
in a recent number of the Musical
America" tells of the important part
music has played in the lives Of SOL
diers as we'll as the nurses who are
in foreign service:
There is one army about which
one hears comparatively little, but
which has during the last year been
among h forces that have added
singing to the list of, requirements.
1T is not a khaki-clad army, and it
doesn't have any bands of it's own to
keep up the morale of the forces. One
sees members of it hurrying busily
in the now familiar, navy blue suit,
stout tan shoes n blue velour nat of
service and-if one has a man in the
land or sea or air forces Of America
"a feeling of relief comes with, the
sight of that capable-looking woman
in blue, relief that is born of the
knowledge thai the big sisterhood of
army nurses is on the job in France.
Last year, when the men went into
cover the importance Of music in
building a victorious army So the
new forces of land and sea service
were trained to sing. Furthermore,
to insure the carrying on of its work,
members of each company were
trained, so that on the march or in
barracks or rest billets some ope
would be or the job ready to start
singing at any time.
"'Perhaps ven more than the men
who 20 into service the nurse needs
this ministry of song.' said Lieuten-
ant Read, when I talked with him
one morning, after one unit had fin
ished it's song lesson and was busy
acquiring the mysteries Of the mill

the tragedy of warfare. none of the
thrills n romance, n singing will
do quite as much to improve the
MORALE Of a group of women as 1t does
that of a similar number Of men. Out
side Of this phase of the work, there
is a very real need for music in the
hospitals
let me tell you of a case that
came under my observation recently.
One of the nurses who had returned
after several months service in the
hospitals abroad, in France, told me
Of passing down through one Of the
wards in her charge on Christmas
Eve of last year The men, mostly
American soldiers, seemed unusually
quiet and there were traces Of tears
on not a few faces. I guess we're
homesick,' one Of them volunteered.
Don't you think it would be a good
plan for us to sing something, nurse? 2
The nurse thought it would. Well,
you start u.s. was the rejoinder. We
can all sing If some one will just start
the songs The nurse had Ito admit
that she hadn't learned to sing the
songs that the men knew and couldn't
lead them. When I came back and
saw these girls learning to sing she
said, I thought Of that Christmas Eve
and what it would have meant to
them II I had learned how to sing
enough to lead those poor. homesick
soldiers
There is a wonderful spirit Of con-
fidence which has carried our soldiers
through, and will also carry the army
nurses through the grim tragedies
they must face. And music has prov
en- Itself the sreatest single factor IN
~torious spirit"

Adopt Fatherless
Child AS Memorial

Mrs, c. NJ. Cooley has announced
that the committee Of Fatherless Chill
dren Of France is making a special
effort during Thanksgiving week to
interest people. in the adoption of
fa~tilerless French children. It has
been suggested by the national COM
rnittee hat committees in all parts Of
The United States make an effort dur
ing Thanksgiving week. to ask each
person In their community who has
Il son or a father who has been fight
ing in France, to adopt a. fatherless
French child in his name as a
Thanksgiving Offering for his safe
leturn. This idea is a beautiful one
which is quite in keeping with the
season of Thanksgiving. Another
suggestion has been made that would
bring with it a certain measure Of
comfort to parents who nave lost a
son in the war. AS a memorial to- q
son who has lost his life in the war,
it has been suggested that his parents
name.
The Grand Forks committee, Of
which Mrs. c. M. Cooley is chairman,
paign during the week. but neverthe-
less they hope to interest people to the
extent that several adoptions will be
made. This Thanksgiving week
movement is being conducted in all
states where the Fatherless Children
Of France have an organization.
According to an arrangement made
by the home service division of the
Red Cross. Mrs. Lillian. Baird, gov
eminent demonstration for several
counties, including Grand Forks. will
&c to the towns and community CEN
tiers in the county, n render her
services in the way of giving practical
lessons in nursing.
The shortage Of trained or prac-
teal nurses in the county has called
to the attention of the Red Cross di-
vision the need of some practical
nursing lessons for the home people.
The lessons will follow much the
course in suggestions that are being
offered in the home nursing courses
given in the city during the year.
Mrs. Baird will conduct short
courses in the towns and communities
and will also go into the homes where
patients are in want of care. and give
aid and suggestions to the home
nurses. (
The matter has been taken up by
the chairman of the local civilian re-
lief committee, with the various u
ty committeeman, and the work will
no doubt begin The services
of Mrs. Baird will be offered free to
the community in which she works,
anG she will remain in a community
as long as her services are needed
