readjustment would be accomplish
ed without Financial disorder y
Tight money, unrest of labor, the
Russian-Poland war, the high cost
of necessities, are enumerated as
disturbing business factors, but in
the opinion of the committee there
is no need of the country to be in a

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
FIourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

hv.- than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and its department
/ of nursing is daily increasing this en-
! rollmeut.
The department Of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. 1t will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which 1t has as
signed ,uore than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t will assist in establishing proper
nursing service in foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has Or
sanized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands of women who
have never received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in Its infancy short while ago
has been put ahead at least decade
through The work of the department;
Of nursing and local Red Gross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex-
tended to many rural communities and
now flourishes actively in hundreds of
small towns and counties. Nearly q
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind of work.
The department of nursing Is unit
ing with other organizations in years
campaign In recruiting nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen.
eral public as to standards Of nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools of
nursing. 1t will endeavor to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrolment Of dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors In home dietet-
les, in developing nutritional clinics,
and in supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity Of securing instruction in
home hygiene and care Of the sick In
every community in the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun-
dation for public health but in some
places has given impetus to the estab-
lishment Of hospitals and community
school houses.
"As community profits by the work
Of tie nurse" says Miss Clara d.
Noyes, director Of the department of
nursing, ut is logical that the com.
munity should be aroused to its respon-
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in general cam
pafgn Of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
Of the medical profession as we'll as
the intelligent cooperation Of the
people ct large"
