Military Status
for Army Nurse

during the late war that the army
nurse can count on having practically
the same apparatus as the nurse In
any civilian hospital.
Nor is the army nurse taught only
the technique needed In treating battle
cases. She goes through the same
course of training that the civilian
nurse does.
One of the instructors points out
with patriotic pride that the army
school is one of the few schools of
nursing in the country that is able to
cover the entire course recommended
by the League cf Nursing education.
"The army can do this" said the
nurse instructor, because the students
are on ward duty less than In most
hospitals. And then, too, there are so
many instructors from the army medi-
cal school who can be called on to lee
ture for us,
Besides the unusual opportunity OF
studying with SO many specialists, the
army nurse student has an opportunity
to visit and study in other hospitals
There is no provision for teaching pub
lie health nursing at Walter Reed, MOI
for mental nursing, nor care Of chill
dren nor maternity cases. For these
subjects, the army affiliates with hos
pitals specializing in such cases. Stu
dents spend at least third of theil
three years in 'hese other hospitals
For public health nursing they have
been going to the famous Henry Street
Settlement in New York, and for Other
subjects to New York, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania and to st. Elizabeth's

Army School of Nursing Soon to
Be Brought Under Federal
Control.
ALWAYS DEMAND FOR NURSES
Present Training School Exists Only
by Order OF Secretary of War
Want School Put on Perma.
nent Basis.

Washington.-That the army school
of nursing will soon be made an in
tegral part of the army organization
is the hope of Maj. Julia Stimson, su-
perintendent of the army nurse corps.
The nurse corps believes In pre-
paredness for service-in peace or an
emergency. And preparedness, from
the point Of view of the corps, means
training school for nurses, corre-
spending In general way with the
training school for officers at West
Point.
We have, such a school, but 1t exists
only by ans order of the secretary of
war. This may be permanent enough
existence, but it has an indefinite
sound. Congress is to be asked. there
fore. to give this important school a
military status so that it may be part
of the army and so that the student
nurses may have the relative rank of
cadets. instead Of the status Of civilian
employees Of the medical department
of the army.
Until the recent war the army main
tained small standing corps of nurses
In time Of peace and when it needed
large numbers recruited them from the
Red Cross nursing service. But dur.
ing the World war the army opened
its own training school to fit women
for service, and 1t proved a successful
venture. The first class Of 500 young
women was graduated last June. They
served during their training at Walter
Reed and Letterman General hospitals
and other army hospitals in this cOun
try, and In that way rendered valuable
service.
Trained for Civilian Service.
The school of nursing cannot use al
of its graduates In ordinary times, but
those who are not needed 60 out well
trained to give service In civilian
fields. Some Of the army nurse gradu
ates have gone into the newest line Of
nursing. public health work. Others
have gone into private hospitals
homes, institutions and factories
There Is need for every one of them
for there are never enough nurses
