Women in War Work


training Immediately for professional
nursing service is critical. Forty-five
per cent of all registered graduate
nurses are needed to fill the require
ments of the army for 1918. The
emergency caused by the with drawal

enlarging the training schools of the
hospitals of the state and filing them
to their capacity with pupil nurses.
| One hundred and sixty young women
must be secured for the accredited hos
pital training schools of the state be-
/ fore June 1st and eighty of these must
be enrolled by March 1st. This quota
merely represents the immediate need
of the state Applicants must have
completed at least two years of high
school work. Before long the hospi-
tails of our country will be filled with
wounded soldiers. This is wonder
full opportunity for the young women
/ of America to do their part in this
/ great war and to follow the example
of the noble women of France and
England in responding to their
country IS call. For further information
