Public Health Nurses Needed.
y
Twenty thousand public health
nurses are needed in America. The |
? - - I
Red Cross is making every effort to j
^ supply accredited nurses to the com-1
munities ready to use them, but it is j
essential that only such nurses as :
have had the prescribed public health j
training be used.
The Red Cross has provided for a ]
scholarship fund for jriving to ?radu-!
ate nurses the necessary training J
which shall fit them for public health {
work, and all nurses desiring to enter j
this field may do so without material j
loss either of time or of money. ' j
To conduct systematic public j
health nursing successfully special;
technical instruction is needed and j
the Red Cross feels that community i
^interest can not be fully served un- j (
, less nurses having tnis instruction j ^
* are used for public health work. j i
At the general federation of Y/o-' ^
men's clubs which met at Asheville,!
4 |
N. C.i during June, several States de- ^
cided to raise club scholarships for,,
this purpose. Among these States it f g
is intreesting to note South Carolina (
listed as one, the federation of that j (
State having voted four scholarships j
^ for public health nursing; three of'j
which are to be given through the ! j
State department of nursing. j j

of nursing has made some recent valuable
additions to its personnel with
a view to increasing the interest in i
public health work and also to promoting
health education through
nursing classes held throughout the 1 <
division.
A newly appointed field represen- j
^ tative is Miss Ruth A. E. Adamson. j
who will visit the chapters through- J
out the division in the interest of a j
public health nurse for each locali- j
ty. Miss Adamson is a graduate of'
^ Johns Hopkins hospital, has seen ser- I
' vice abroad with the Hopkins' unit j ,
during the war and for several years 11
after graduation from the Johns !c
Hopkins Training school for nurses i ^
was actively engaged in the depart-! J
ment of hospital social service. . iv
A second worker in this same field,
who has been added to the depart-!
ment of nursing is Miss Virginia Ma-, *

Cross nurse herself, who has been IT

Miss .Gibbes received special permission
from the American Red Crsos to
undertake a trip for the Victorian
Order and the experience gained by
her in the Canadian field, when she
visited some 62 different towns, has 1

It is safe to predict that the work ! ^
of both Miss Gibbes and Miss Adam- j *

the Southern division. j(

Commission a 1,000 mile ticket.
This award will be made on the final
eport and the largest number of
Tiled letters from illiterates.
2. Trustees: Trustees can render
i great service to the state by enjouraging
the establishment of a
school in every district, and by lendng
the influence of their presence at .
;he school when necessary.
3. College students: Every col- .*
ege student in the State is asked to
;each at least one person to read and

the hospital and rejoined his company.
After the fourth battle he was
again billed for America, and again
"kissed the hospital good-bye" and
went back to his company.
After the fifth battle his leg was
useless and he had to give up.

still carries in his body is lodged underneath
