ARMY NURSE SCHOOL
CLOSED FOR ECONOMY
Maj. Gen, Patterson Tells Reason
for Disseminating Training at
Walter Reed Hospital.

The Army School Of Nursing at Wal
ter Reed General Hospital, ordered dis
continued last August, is being closed
primarily as an economy move, but also
because nurses Of exceptionally high
caliber can be obtained from civil in
situations. Surg. Gen. Robert u. Patter-
son explained In a statement made
public yesterday
Maj. Gen. Patterson's statement was
made in response to protests filed with
the War Department through members
Of Congress and by nurses graduated
from the Army School.
Explaining that the school was estab-
lished primarily as an emergency meas
ure to provide qualified nurses during
the World War, Surg. Gen. Patterson
disclosed that today only about 6h per
cent Of the total number Of Army nurses
are graduates of the school.
Economy was one Of the important
factors having weight in arriving at this
decision" Patterson said. THE annual
expense of the school was considerable
and the prospective expenditures neces-
sary to replace temporary housing facili-
ties would have run into large figures.
The maintenance of school for funda-
mental professional education, such as
nursing, which can be readily obtained
In civil institutions, Is out of keeping
with the policy Of the War Depart
ment."
