The drive of the Woman's Commit
tee of the National Council of Defense
is not local affair but one of national
import, Throughout the United States
from July 20 to Aug. II every means
is being employed to tr0use enthusi-
asm and patriotism and secure TO the
government the services of the young
women of the country AS nurses. New
er before have such inducements to
enter the nursing protest. on been of
fered to women, and never before has
the opportunity for service been so
great. Young women of good health
and fair education between the ages
of eighteen and thirty-five or there
abouts, will be given two or three
years of training in the best hospitals
of the country. They will be provid-
ed with food, clothing, laundry, nee

These volunteer nurses will be I'M
der the special protection of Uncle
Sam. Any serious, practical girl must
see the unusual advantages in this Of
fer as well as its glorious opportu-
nifty for service.
The nurse is as important in this
war as the soldier. She stands with
the fighting forces in the first line of
defense. But it is not only in the
battlefield that she will serve. In
the prevention and cure of diseases
incident to war, in saving the lives of
children of the country, in making
the world safe for human life after
the war, the services of the nurse are
most essential. This branch of the
national work is as highly responsible
and as highly skilled as that of the
flying corps or of the engineering
corps. In no other field of service is
skill more necessary than in this.
Some of the schools of nurses are
connected with the following hospit-
ais; University Hospital, Augusta,
Ga, Farrand Training School, De-
trOit, Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland;
University Hospital, Ann Arbor,
Mich, Washington University Hos
pital, st, Louis The names of these
hospitals are merely suggestive as
there are 1879 similar training schools
throughout the United States.
