History Of Nursing
 Reviewed In Paper
Sister M. Maurice Sheehy Traces Art of Healing Sick From Early Ages; Religious Groups Play Big Role

Washington, D. C., Sept. 5.-The part played by Catholic communities in the care of the sick is described by Sister M. Maurice Sheehy, R. s M., instructor in nursing education of the Catholic University School oi Nursing Education, in research paper on nursing and the need for qualified staffs to assist in the Iaa- tional defense program.
 "The first reference to a person as a nurse after the foundation oi Christianity is that of Phoebe spok- en of by St. Paul" said Sister Mau- rice. "In the foundation days oi Christianity, 1t was not uncommon to find wealthy women who had be- come converts opening their homes as hospices for the sick and the poor, devoting their entire fortunes and energies to this particular work One of these especially well known in literature, history, and drama alike is Fabiola, who built the first institution during the fourth cen- tury that was intended solely for the care of the sick"
 St. Benedict
 "Referring to the medieval mon- asteries, Sister Maurice said that St. Benedict can rightly be called the founder of western nonasticism, from which the present day religious communities in the United States have sprung"
 'In the regulations drawn up by St. Benedict" she said, The enjoined that provision be made for the care and treatment of the sick and needy. It is not surprising; there fore, to find accounts of persons who were well informed concerning the care of the sick and who developed a great proficiency in the use of drugs and remedies"
 Bringing her recital down to a more modern day, Sister Maurice re- ferred to Florence Nightengale. History bears out the fact" said Sister Maurice, "that her unquench- able zeal for the care of the sick led her to the door of both Catholic religious communities and Protest ant institutions. Tn the paper pre- pared by Florence Nightengale for the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1893. she firmly held that nursing was a vocation and its members should be subject to a very strict, discipline Of life. Perhaps the most valuable in- sight which she received. into the lives and work of nuns was in her association with thirty-seven relig- ious who accompanied her on her first mission in nursing at Crlmea. With her were Sisters of Mercy. Sis- ters of Charity. and Sisters of st. Augustine. One of the Sisters cf Mercy who went with her to Crlinea, Mother Joseph Lynch. later misrat- ed to America and became the founder of a community Of sisters of Mercy in Grand Rapids. Mlch.n

 Washington, Sept. 5 V siberia stands today as another iceland" IT. the eyes of military strategists here
 New, decisive and imminent - American moves in the field of for eign policy may be based upon the assumption that Soviet Asia is the United States frontier in the Pa ciflc much as Iceland is a defense outpost in the Atlantic.
 Military opinion in Washington holds that our line of supply through eastern Siberia, notably Vladivostok, must be defended and kept open.
 A SPRHNGBOARD-
 FOR DEFENSE OR DEFENSE
 It is pointed out that from east ern Siberia, Russian bomhers or American can bomb Japan's pa per -and bamboo cities. From east ern Siberia, an enemy could spring to nearby Alaska whose western most island is but four miles from Siberia's eastermost There is in- creasing evidence that the Amer lean government is grirnly prepar- ing to keep enemies from jumping by keeping them of the sprlngboard even If 1t has to get very tough.
 It can be predicted that If either Germany or Japan tries to pre- vent us from using Vladivostok as Q means of supporting the Red Army, there will be, If necessary, shooting. The U. |. government Army join c victorious Reichs- wehr in Siberia - bringing the war to our back doorstep.
 What steps the United States may take in Siberia largely de- bends on the outcome of the German Russian struggle now go- ing on along the seemignly distant Leningfad = Moscow-D -Dnieper River line. If the Red Army in Europe let the Germans cross the Volga River, and if the Japanese carried out their long-standing plan to thrust towards a meeting with the Nazis at Lake Baikal, cutting off vladlvostok from the U, S., Siberia might fall.
 The nearer the Germans and d-or Japanese come to Siberia, the more Russia is going to need our help. The U. S. s. R. has not completed the vast job of rear ranging It's war industries to make It's production invulner- able to German-Japanese attack. When 1t started, nearly IS years ago, 30 per cent of Russian pro- duction was in the third of the country nearest Germany, the southwest notably the Ukraine and the Donetz basin

charge of 83 hospitals and 67 schools of nursing in this country.
 '"The story of the services render- ed by religious communities during the many wars will never be fully known or appreciated," Sister Mau- rice added. 'In every conflict, even before the Crimea, the religious communities were among the first to offer their services. Today, as in the past. the religious communi- ties are fully aware of the responsi- bilities which they must share with the lay and civilian population in the national defense efforts. At the present time there are active com- mittees in every rligious community studying tn ways and means by which their services will be available in carrying on the great work which 1t is the happy privilege of nurses to perform"
