the area covered may vary from com.
munity of $4,000 inhabitants and small

varied districts the nurse has to be
resourceful and keep her wits busy.
Classes In Home Hygiene and Care Of

Reports from other localities indi.
cate warm Red Cross interest in
community centers, clinics and other
more concrete forms Of social better
ment. Activities OF this kind differ,
just as the needs which prompt them
differ, each locality presenting curious
types of problems.
There is, however, one need which
irrespective of locality is found to be
prevalent everywhere-the need for
health education.
Ignorance is the underlying cause of
the continued disaster Of preventable
disease and death that are undermin-
ing the vitality OF the American pe0-
pie. Health education is the means by
which this ignorance can be removed.
In recognizing this. the Red Cross is
establishing health centers where In
formation and education win be offered
and where the health workers of the
community may be brought to work
together While only few of the
health centers have been put in oper-
alton by Red Cross chapters. there he
ing at the present time only about 70
centers In the county, the activity Is
growing steadily. Within few years
It Is expected the Red Cross health
center will form as definite a part Of
the community's institutions as the
public school or library. Much de-
ponds on the interest Of the people
themselves.
Then there Is the Red Cross Nursing
service. Nursing service obviously
tends to improve health conditions and
promote health interests. The total
number Of nurses enrolled In Red Cross
Nursing service is 1890; Of these los
are colored women. While during the
war thousands Of applications were
received from nurses, the enrolment
has now resumed its pre-war status,
the present monthly average being
only about 125. This number falls far
short OF the demand. and In order to
increase the supply. the Red Cross Is
daily bending It's efforts In behalf OF
