AS most school children know. the

TO FORM
FOR HOME NURSING

The Annapolis and Anne Arundel
County Chapter of the American Red
Cross has adopted as their peace-time
programme the formation of classes in
home nursing.
The conservation OF health of our
people. whether in time of war or
home duty.
The prevention of contagious dis
eases is almost entirely a matter of
horne hygiene. and the responsibility
for the maintenance of civilian health
must he borne in the inn. ediate future
more and more by the women in our
homes.
That the women OF our country are
not adequately prepared in the absence
of professional care 10 safeguard their
homes from contagion. and 10 nurse
their families in case of minor ILL
nesses, has been only too evident in
the recent influenza epidemic, which
has a casualty list of over four hun
bred thousand.
II is a wonderful advantage that this
course is brought 10 our doors, and il
is hoped that it will be supported as
il should be and thank God for the OPP
portunity. Many a life has been los;
because Of ignorance as TO what to Dc
in an emergency.
Many classes will e formed through
out the county and in Annapolis. The
cost will be purely nominal, two dol
lars for a course of fifteen lessons
covering a period of about six weeks
The course will be modified one
requiring no examinations
The courses will be started Febru-
ary lst. and more information Will ap-
pear in these columns.
The outline Of the course IS: Causes
and prevention of sickness. health and
the home. babies and their care, indi-
cations OF sickness, .uipment and
care Of the sick room. teds and led
making. baths and bathing. appliances
and methods for sick room! feeding the
