NURSES.

Because of an excess of nurses
in this city and elewhere, au-
thorities of the George Wash
ington University School of Medi-
cine are making plans to discon-
tinue the training school for

The discontinuance of the
nurses school is in line with the
university policy to build huge

medicine and research, it was
pointed out.
With the retirement of Major
Jason D. ByerS, superintendent
of the hospital, Campbell Starr
will take over the reins of the
hospital November 20, as business
manager. DR.. Walter A. Bloedorn
recently was appointed medical
director of the university.
According to the plans. first
year students in the training
school will be placed elsewhere
and those in training for year
or more will be allowed to finish
their work.
