GIRLS WANTED FOR NURSES
Splendid Opportunity is Offered
Young Ladies by County Hospi-
tai to Take Training
As Nurses.

The superintendent of the Coun-
ty Memorial Hospital states that she
is desirous of enlisting six or seven
bright young ladies of AbbevilIe
County who wish to take training as
nurses in the County hospital. Since
opening a month ago the hospital has
been filled<to capacity practically
every day and indications DO lot
point to any decrease in the number
of patients to be handled by the
county institution.
At present there are live register
ed nurses and two probatloners in
The employ of the hospital and. they
are simply being worked to death.
And some of the , graduate nurses
have accepted positions for only a
short time as they had aireaGy made
other plans for the fall before the
County hospital was opened. The
situation is becoming acu,e and the
superintendent is very anxious to
bring to the: attention Of every young
lady of eligible age that a. golden
opportunity to receive | excellent
training and to fit themselves for be-
coming graduate nurses awaits them
at the county hospital. ''' y - 90.
The probationer, as the under
graduate nurse is called while lin
training, must be Of average intelli-
genee, strong physical condition and
willing to apply herself to the work.
There are certainly dozens of young
ladies' in the County who would like
to be nurses and who are willing to
undergo the training necessary to re-
ceive "a nurses diploma. Then if sew
en- of'these will make application to
Miss Blanche Reep, superintendent
of the County hospital quick, they
may secure one of the places to be
filled. =. :..,..' - =
In case probationer has not had
the ( educational advantages offered
in her community to make ner eligi-
BILE for graduation, arrangements
will be made so that she may have
time to pursue her literary course un-
til she reaches the standard required.
At present the standard required for
graduation from a hospital is about
on d par with the state high school
standards for. graduation. The asso-
citation of nurses, however, are rap
idly raising their standards. ,..,
Any young lady who would like to
take; the nurses training should COM
munieate with Miss ,Reep as soon as
possible. = = t

The first intimation of his nomi-

clock this afternoon at Madison
Lake., upon his return from fish
ing trip when he read an Associated

COURSES OFFERED IN
HOME HYGIENE AND
CARE OF THE SICK.

The County Red Cross Nurse, Miss
Atweil. is preparing to give demon
strations and instructions in Home
Hygiene and Care Of the Sick. This
course will begin with the opening of
the summer school next week and
Will continue for ten weeks.
The place for holding the meetings

with all the necessary apparatus for
demonstration. 1t is hoped and ex-
pected that the ladies of the town and
county may find it possible to attend
the classes.
The classes meet twice a week for
ten weeks. It is thought that the
ladies of the town will be best accom-
modated by afternoon meetings. Stu
dents of the summer school will prob
ably have their meetings in the morn
ing. The lessons will be consecutive
and will depend on one another. It is
therefore desirable that those taking
the work attend every class.
Those desiring to take this course
should notify Miss Atwell in advance
SO that she may have everything
ready.
There follows list Of articles need
d for fitting up the Red Cross room.
Much of this material does not need
to be new, and it is thought that many

part Of the equipment SO that the
money Of the local chapter may be
used for still other worthy purposes.
An opportunity will be given for
such "sh0wer" before the rooms are
finally opened.
