"Nurse the Most Needed Woman in the World," Says Miss Jane A. De lano, Director of the Department of Nursing of the American Red Cross. To place the public health on a higher plane than It tns ever been is the object of a national program un dertaken by the American Red Cross as part of its peace time plan. From coast to coast and from lakes to gulf the Red Cross Is spreading the gospel of good health and of the proper care of the sick by fostering the study and practice of nursing, both by orgaized public health activities and by meem bers of the family in every I-'e. Through the Chautauqua an Oi dat representative of the Red Cross De partinent of Nursing wilt soon tell the people of this community the story of what is being done and will ask their co-opera tin. - One of the great lessons of the World war is found in the unnecessarily low standards of physical health revealed. This was brought out most forcibly in the great number of rejections of young men called to the colors under the Selective Service Law. Record.i show that throughout the United States one-third of the young men ex amined fcr military service were dis qualifled from bearing arms for their country through minor physical de fects, a large proportion of which might have been avoided by compul sory school exaInination and proper medical and nursing care. Urgent Need of Nurses. Further proof of tho general urgent need of wonen trained in nursing was supplied by the epidemics of Spanish influenza that have caused terrifit loss 9f life, and suffering throughout the country. Hundreds of thousands of persons died, and In many commu nities the plague spread without any adequate means of checking it because of the impossibility of obtaining wom en capable of caring for the victims. Reports show that many persons ac tually died without attention because the ovemvorked doctors could not reach them all, nurses could not be found who knew what to do, and neighbors feared to go near the help less patients. The uselessness and danger of such a waste of "human power" is only too apparent, for the health and strength of a nation can only be measured by the health and strength of Its people. Recognizing the fact that the crux of the whole situation lies in giving every conununity the means of building up its own nursing strength, the Amer[ can Ited Cross. In co-operation with the various Chautauquas, Is sending broadcast the message that none can afford to ignore. Phases of Public Health Nursing. Public health nursing includes many phamses, suich as bedsidle nursing, in which the nurse visits the patients and gives them hourly care as neces sary ;school nursing caere of expect ant mtot hers, hlesl~( and1( smallch ('il dren ; wvorkI in factories andi industrial cen Iers; rural ntrs'ng, and inustruei tion in Iled Cross courses, thome hygi ene, home diletelles, c-are of the sick, and various other forms of commu nity serviee.
