roundings.
Courage High as Soldier.
When we scan the casualty list OF
the nurse corps, and see how many
died not only from shell fire itself but
from Illness contracted in their line OF
duty, we can feel no doubt that the
courage Of the nurse was of as high
an order as that of the soldier.
"The work of the nurse in these
days of reconstruction will be as i'm
portant as that during the war The
end of the war doesn't mean demobili.
cation for her. The Red Cross to-
gether with other organizations is
planning a large campaign in the
United States for the coming year,
and public health nurse is the most
important factor in the campaign" Mr..
Sprowls reminded the graduates.
1--WE are proud to say that Keokuk
has a public health nurse who has
done much in our city to prevent cp1.
denies by teaching the prevention Of
the spread of contagion. Soon, nsw
classes are to be organized here In
which the new nurse who has come to
Keokuk will teach the first principles
and home dietetics. Work has also
been done here in the schools with a
nurse separating the sick children
from those who were well, and discov-
ering false developments such as de-
fective eye-sight, bad tonsils. and
broken arches. That such inspection
is needed Is evident in the 100000 men
rejected in the recent army draft for
preventable physical disqualifica-
tons"
Reconstruction Important
And then Mr.. Sprowls spoke more
personally to the graduates: $50 the
work of the nurse in these days OF
reconstruction will be highly impor-
tant These are days of great stress.
We hear much Of bolshevism and kin
dred ideas. The health Of people
is in way, an index of its content
ment and so the nurse by her work
in the community-in keeping health
of her community good may do much
to combat these anarchist ideas. III
a mans family is well cared for when
it falls i'll, or better still, they are
given such instruction which will pre-
vent illness, he is not likely to be a
foe to that system Of government
which provides this care and instruc-
ton.
$50 the work you are going out to
undertake is very vital to the welfare
of the state in these troubled times,
and upon it, congratulate you"
Following Mr.. Sprowls' address,
The Rev. Father George Giglinger
made a short talk to the nurses and
their friends. He commended the
splendid manner in which the girls
had completed their courses and told
them that he was proud Of the record
which they had made for themselves

particularly, he said, because / have
been in service, and because every
man who has seen service in the vate
war has keen and deep appreciation
of the great work which the nurses old
in the war.
1--WE have always realized that the
nurses duties in the home comrnuni-
ties were big ones, but the war has
seemed to impress upon four million
men, at least, just how indispensable
their work Is.
"This was woman's war as we'll as
mans" Mr.. Sprowls said, and he
quoted from Burns MANS inhuman-
ity to man, makes countless thousands
mourn" "It appeared to be woman's
part to triumph over the worst that
inhumanity could devise" the speaker
continued.
"Woman's part in this war had much
to do with silencing the last oppo-
nents Of political equality for women
in the United States. 1t was no mere
accident that the passage of the suf-
frage amendment to the constitution
of the United States by both houses OF
congress was almost co-incident with
the close OF the war. Mr.. Sprowis
said that there was no doubt but what
the amendment will be ratified by an
overwhelming majority of the states.

"And l hope" he continued, that
