morial hall.
5,000 DRESSINGS BY JUNE 1
Five thousand dressings by June 1.
That number at least i9 expected of
the University.
Tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock
Convocation, University women, both
students and faculty, will be asked to
register for work in the Red Cross
rooms. There will be tables in the
library and armory, Friday) where
those who were not at Convocation
may sign up for the time they wish.
Those who do not sign will be ex
pected to explain why they do not.
Bandages are needed. Our own
University men are on the firing line
In France. If every woman in the
University would spend one hour a
week in the Red Cross rooms. more
than the amount of dressings asked
for would be made. It Is possible
with a little practice to make fifty
dressings an hour, Red Cross workers
say.
Miss Frazer pointed out when she
was here that no country was rich
enough to spend as much as it had
always spent and win a war. Such
reasoning does not apply to money
alone. We cannot do our part In the
Red Cross work unless we sacrifice.
There are a few student's who are
giving whole afternoons to Red Cross
work. They are doing what they can
to make up for some of us who spend
that hour a week, when we should
have been making bandages, else
where. The utmost they can do is not
sufficient.
DEMOSTHENES
Not only the art department, of
ficial guardians of the pictures and
statutes hung In the library, but also
Demosthenes himself, it is said, oh
jected to initials of mere mortals being
inscribed on the skirts of his robes
and to puddles of ink being dumped
on his white toes. So Demosthenes,
who for years has towered at the
east entrance of the library, has moved
or has been moved to a place of safety.
The art department very likely will
be obliged to move the snow-scene
canvas from Its place on the wall in
the same entrance, it is rumored. A
few students habitually, or a lot of
students occasionally, are rubbing off
the paint, bit by bit. The canvas is
valued at $1000.
We all like to have pictures and
statutes, especially masterpieces, in
the rooms we frequent. The halls of
the library would be bare without
these paintings and statutes. The art
department does not wish to move
these into protected corners in the art
gallery unless it is obliged to do so.
All it asks is that we be a little more
careful of the works of art that are in
our halls.
COLLEGE GRADUATES AND
NURSING
Tha urgent demand for nurses has
caused many college graduates to take
the training course. Hospital training
school authorities are beginning to
realize that a college graduate does
not always need the amount of time to
complete the training that an eighth
grade or high school graduate does.
The following pamphlet may be of
interest to University women.
So many inquiries have been re
ceived, in response to the general ap
peal to college graduates, to enter
schools of nursing and prepare them
selves for this1 important form of na
tional service, that it has seemed best
to answer briefly in this general way
some of the quest in which are con
stantly being asked.
1. What good hospital training
schools arc prepared to give credit to
college graduates with science train
ing, and how much 'credit will they
give?
This question should be answered
at the outset by saying that no at
tempt has as yet been made to prepare
a complete list of Training Schools
able to give such credit. This could
only be done adequately through a
careful and exhaustive survey of the
hundreds , of schools of nursing
throughout the country, and the pres
ent emergency offered no opportunity
for such an extensive piece of work.
An informal effort was made to find
out If some of the leading schools of
nursing would be willing In the na
tional emergency to reduce rhe usual
term of three years for candidates
with college training, which had in
cluded satisfactory work in science.
As almost all of the schools appealed
to signify their willingness to adjust
their courses to meet these special
conditions, it seems probable that a
good many other schools of nursing of
equally high standing will be w illing to
make similar adjustments in the pres
ent crisis. In certain places, however,
this will be impossible, as for Instance,
in Maryland, Illinois, California, where
the laws of the state require that the
three full years of training shall be
ppent in the hospital. Hence no reduc
tion of time can be offered by schools
of nursing in these states.
The schools named in the following
brief list (which must be looked upon
as suggestive merely) have arranged
to give credit of from six to nine
months, or in some instances, of one
full year in the regular course of
training, and full details concerning
any of these schools may be obtained
by writing to the Frincipal of the
school of Nursing.
These schools of nursing are con
nected with the following hospitals:
University Hospital, Agusta, Ga.
Bellevue and Allied Hospital, New
York City.
Cincinnati General Hospital (Univer
sity of Cincinnati), Cincinnati, Ohio.
Farrand Training. School (Harper
Hospital), Deriotl, Mich.
Hartford Hospital, Hartford, Conn.
Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland, Ohio
Mount Sinai Hospital, New York
City.
Newton Hospital, Newton, Mass.
Post Graduate Hospital, New York
City.
Presbyterian Hospital, New York
City.
Presbyterian Hospital, Philadelphia,
Pa.
Rhode Island Hospital, Providence,
R. I.
Robert Long Hospital (University
of Indiana), Indianapolis, Ind.
The City Hospital, Blackwell's Is
land, New York City.
University Hospital, Ann Arbor,
Mich.
Washington University Hospital, St.
Louis, Mo.
Certain other schools are endeavor
ing to meet the crisis by making a
special adjustment of the third year of
worn witnout reducing the total length
of the course. Examples of these are:
University Hospital, University of
Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn. (The
last year may be spent in some form of
war service, if the war lasts.)
Massachusetts General Hospital,
Boston, Mass. (The last year may be
spent in special training in some form
of public health work.)
The diplomas will be given upon the
satisfactory completion of the pre
scribed work.
2. What subjects will be accepted
as a basis for credit or exemption in
time in these school of nursing.
This is a question which must be
decided by the individual school. The
reason why it is believed that college
graduates should be given some prefer
ence in nursing schools, is that they
have presumably a sounder foundation
in the sciences which underlie nurs
ing work and as a result of their col
lege training should be able to con
centrate on essentials, master the
theoretical part of the work more
readily, and pluck the elements of
value out of the practical experience
in a shorter time than the average per
son. It is a disputed point whether
the ordinary college woman who en
ters nursing actually does demon
strate her superiority in any of these
respects, but if she has had her powers
of observation developed through good
science training of any kind, and if
she has been trained to use her hands
skilfully either In the handling of lab
oratory materials or in the study of
art or music, or in practical procedures
such as cookery, she will probably be
able to master th technical processes
demanded in nursing in the shorter
time of training. It must- be distinct
ly understood, however, that three
years of well-directed training in a
hospital training school, if one can
afford the time, is undeniably more
profitable than two years, whatever
preparation one brings, because of ttoe
greater opportunity to observe disease
of various types and to become expert
in handling many kinds of situations.
The subjects which will probably be
asked for by most school will be
biology (physiology and bateriology),
chemistry, economics, sociology (or
social economy), and phychology.
Courses in nutrition, hygiene (includ
ing child hygiene) and sanitation may
be accepted for part of the biology
requirement, courses In physics for
part of the chemistry requirement and
courses in ethics, child phychology, or
education for part of the phychology.
One year's work in a given subject
usually means that the student has
had instruction covering from four to
six hours weekly throughout the year
in that subject. Students asking for
a year of credit will generally be ex
pected to have had a year of work in
four or five of these subjects.
3. How can one decide on the best
achool of nuralna to enterf
A. Those, schools should bo selected
which are connected with general hos
pitala of high standing in the com
munlty. By general hospitals, we
mean those provided liberal opportuni
ties for study and training in the care
of medical, snrclcal and children's
diseases, and for training in obstetrical
nursing. These are fundamental and
essential in a good training in nurs
ing. It is an added advantage if these
schools can onYr training in the care
of communicable disease, nervous and
mental diseases, or in social service or
visiting nursing. A hospital of aver
age size say from 200 to 800 beds
can usually offer an excellent field for
training The private or special hos
pital is obviously unable to meet these
conditions.
B. Be sure the school is registered
in the state, otherwise your diploma
will not' be recognized and you will
not be eligible for the title of R. N.
or registered nurse.
C. See that the educational stand
ards of the school are good, and that
It offers adequate and sound theoreti-
