Corps of Army Nurses.

According to estimates based on an
army of 1,5O0,0 900 men, 1880 nurses
will be needed. The present strength
of the Army Nurse Corps of the Medi-
cal Department is about $500. To
increase this number by nearly 1000
per cent in year Is the task faced
by the corps.
Hospitals at army camps and can
tonments still need nurses to bring
the quota for each up to the mini
mum of SIS considered necessary, al
though since the urgent need for
nurses was made public in December
nearly 1000 requests for application
blanks have been received.
In order to get the enrollments up
to the needed number some of the re-
quirements heretofore imposed have
been waived. According to estimates
there are between $4,000 and 5000
registered nurses in the country and
about 100000 other graduate and
practical nurses.
