3697 ARE TAUGHT HOME
HYGIENE By RED CROSS

More than $500 women and girls in
Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont have received careful in
struction in the principles of proven
ton of disease, proper methods Of
caring for the sick in their own homes,
and the care of babies, we'll or i'll, dur
ing the past year, as students in more
than 270 classes in Home Hygiene and
Care of the Sick, conducted by Red
Cross Chapters in the New England
Division.
In one Chapter territory in western
Massachusetts was a class made I'D
entirely of women who are grand
mothers. Another class, in Amesbury,
was composed of nuns. In a class in
Salem was woman of IS years, whose
average mark for the course was 81
per cent, and her record was marked
particularly good"
THE instruction received by the
women, old and young, who have taken
these Red Cross courses" says Mrs.
Isabelle W. Baker, Director of the
Division Bureau of instruction, will
enable them not only to take better
care of their homes day by day, but
to serve the members of their families
intelligently in sickness. Their knowl-
edge would prove particularly valuable
in an epidemic when trained nursing
service is often difficult and sometimes
impossible to secure In other words
their knowledge, gained in our Red
Cross classes, is a protection to their
families, and may save lives. And in
emergency many of these women
would undoubtedly enroll for service
outside their own homes, through the
Red Cross"
The records for the year ending
June 80, completed this week by Mrs.
Baker, show that 3,697 women and
girls were enrolled in courses in Home
Nursing and Care Of the Sick. OF
this number 2,377 received certificates,
1876 finished the courses but did not
receive certificates and 1,125 were con-
tinuing their studies on July 1.
There were 272 classes under in
