Bell College Granted Scholarship Fund Physio-Therapy Backed by Foundation The National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis has established a large fund for scholarships to be given to train girls for physio-ther apy work. Henry Harris, represen tative of the national foundation, visited the University Thursday af ternoon to interview girls who were interested in the scholarships. In terviews were conducted in the of fice of Mrs. Arney R. Childs, dean of women. Under these scholarships "girls have all their expenses paid," in cluding traveling, board, rooms, and tuition. In the United States 15 schools are offering regular courses in physio-therapy. Duke University is the only southern school of the 15. When applying for the scholarships, girls may state their preference of schools, but there is no guarantee that they will attend the desired school. To he accepted for a physio therapy scholarship, girls must have completed two yea's of col lege with 12 hours of science in cluding a course in general bio logy. The ireatment of poliomyletis vie lims is the greatest use of physio therapy practice. Physio-therapy is being used now in the rehabilita tion of veterans and restoring the health of accident victims. The National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis desires to give scholarships not only to prepare girls for special positions at paraly sis founda(otins, such as Warm Springs, Ga., hut also to have wom en with a knowledge of physio therapy scattered all over the Unit ed States so that in times of par alysis epidemics they will be able to give treatments. The courses last fron 9 to 12 months arcording to the institu tion. Some of the courses begin in .July and S(ptemheli. One Ihouiand scholarships are heing placco by the national foundation. All girls interested in physio therapy scholarships are asked to contact Mrs. Childs. . a.4 N :wV w -I w w w . N . w . w W M w .
