or the army will run short and thi
would be an outcome incredible an
intolerable to the American people.
Only graduate nurses who hay
been through the full course of train

ice. These nurses have to be taken ou
of the hospitals and from care of -th
sick at home. This means that whe
we recruit our full quota for the arms
their places in the civil communitie

to hold the health standards of th
country as high as they have eve
been held in the times of peace.
