recent graduate of the Delaware Training
School for Nurses. New York. She did
heroic service during the yellow fever cpl
demic in Jacksonville, Fla.
1t was then she first became interested
in the work of the American Red Cross. Her
work there convinced her that the nurses OF
the Red Cross should be trained as faithfully
as other nurses, and when the Red Cross
was reorganized in 1905 she interested her
self in the movement and became chairman
of the national committee on Red Cross
nursing service four years later.

co ordinate the work of the army nurses
with that of the Red Cross and create u
fertile reserve field for the former in the
ranks Of the Red Cross nurses.
Her call to France to superintcnd the work
of nursing in the army hospitals was by far
the biggest task she had undertaken, but she
accomplished it with the same speed and
efficiency that marked her other endeavOrs.
She received no salary from her Red Cross
lubors. all her efforts in that work being
voluntary.
