the Army Nursing School and begin
their course Of study and active stu
dent nursing.
"The service which we are asking
calls for the best that the woman
hood Of America can offer in courage.
devotion, and resourcefulness. We
cannot go forward to victory oversee
II the wives and families OF our
fighters are not sustained in health
and strength, II We cannot protect
our workers against the hazards OF
war industries, II we cannot defeat
accident and disease, our enemies at
home. Upon the health OF the Ameri-
can people will depend the spirit Of
their forces in the field.
Acting on the urgency OF the need,
the undersigned have asked the Sta.e
divisions Of the woman's committee
OF the Council of National Defense,
through their local units, to enroll
the $4,000 women needed. We ask
the women OF America to support us
in our further effort not to lower
American hospital standards. and 10
give US the practical assurance OF
their support by going to the nearest
recruiting station established by the
