Nurses are more in demand than
ever before and in order to meet the
need for training women as attend
ents so that they may intelligently
handle sickness which does not de-
mand the services of trained nurse,
the central branch of the Y. w. C. A.

its equipment materially.
In normal times the students aver
age about forty in a class, largely
women who wanted the instruction
for their own special benefit so as to
be ready to meet emergencies in their
homes, or for the purpose of earning
their own living. During the war the
students in each class averaged $50,
mostly women from leisure classes
who desired to offer their services to
the government. Since 1914 more than.
800 women who graduated from the
trained attendants class of the Ballard
school have been in France. The stu.
dents are taught the practical work of
nursing in an extensive course of
eleven weeks The school has a COM
piete hospital equipment with arti-
ficial and live models for practical
and demonstratiye work. Lectures are
given on physiology. anatomy, theory
of nursing. ethics of nursing, emer-
gencies invalid cooking and bandag-
ing The Sfirst course was given In
1895. Similar courses are given in the
y. W. c. A. In Brooklyn, st. Louis,
Bridgeport and Germantown.
