NURSES WANTED

The National Health Organization
for Public Health Nursing says,
The democratic ideals for which
the war was fought have made 1t
imperative that the opportunity for
health, as the basis for other OPP
portunities, be made equal to all
people. The work of the nurse in
war zones has illustrated the great
possibilities of public health nurs-
ing and has shown how service can
be multiplied by organization.
As an outgrowth of the war, and
the establishment of new ideals OF
social service, there is demand for
Public Health Nurses which can
only be met by the same response
that they gave to the call of war.
The United states Public Health
Service is planning to have at least
one nurse in every county.
The Children's Bureau has a bill
in Congress which will demand a
large number of nurses for matern-
ity and infant work in every state.
Secretary of Labor Wilson says
that Labor's reconstruction plan
must include a carefully formulated
plan for repairing the physical
waste and destruction of the war.
The National organization for
Public Health Nursing is doing two
things to supply the immediate
need: u) Raising a considerable
fund of money for scholarships TO
be given to nurses leaving military
service, and TO seniors in hospital
training schools, TO enable them TO
take postgraduate courses and enter
the field at once. (2) Cooperating
with The National League Of Nurs-
ing Education in urging revision OF
training courses in hospitals, and to
give credit for preparatory courses
taken in colleges.
The profession offers as much as
il demands. II offers the lure OF
pioneering, a position of influence,
and opportunity for advancement.
The nurse will soon be recognized
in the public mind as public Of
fetal of the State. 1t is, in short,
a profession for the college woman,
and therefore we appeal TO college
students.

LOUISIANA BREAKS THE RECORD

SOUTHERN EDUCATORS
ON THE NEGRO

The Southern Education Society,
IN its annual session at Gainesville.
Fla drew educators from every
southern state. The Society re-
quested the new president, Doctor
Mcconnell, Of the Virginia State
Normal for Women, TO appoint COM
mittees for a careful study of the
South's most important educational
problems. One Of these committees
is 10 study Negro education, and re-
port its recommendation at the
meeting next year.
q. w. Tedder, Of Madison. Fla, the
retiring president in his annual adj
dress spoke OF the patriotism OF the
Negroes, as shown by soldiers and
civilians alike, and also bore witness
to the fact that the schools for col
ored children are not what they
should be.
The schools" he said, should be
so reconstructed as 10 develop what
