IV J- i-uholm of Omaha. , A letter re cently sent out by the committee on public health nursing says,, in part: , "Of alt the many classes of wom en workers ' 'who rendered distin guished seivice during the war, none came through with more credit j than the public health nurse. While her sister, the army .nurse, was ' binding wounds behind the battle line in France, the public health nurse fought the influenza epidemic at home fought it with an alert competence, Mid a marvelous devo- tion fop lnch, indeed, many of thein paid with their live?. Nor wan the influenza epidemic the only "major " engagement" in which the pub'ic health nurse deserved the honors of war even though she did not always teceive them. In the ex- tra-cantonmcnt zona surrounding , the great draft Camps, in city and. country communities, deprived of medical service by the departure of ' thei doctors for service abroad' and in tuberculosis and other rehabilita tion work, overseas everywhere these tireless workers made theni- selves so invaluable that Secretary of War Baker, in reviewing the war experience, . declared, 'The public Jiealth nurse, one of the greatest forces in promoting national health, is needed in greatly increased num bers.'" ...,; : "More public health nurses! The cry conies from all sides from pub lic health officials, from educators, from enlightened industrial man agers. How to supply this big new demand?'In seeking to solve this problem in endeavoring to consoli date into a sound peace program the gains which the war has brought us, it is natural that we should turn for aid to the progressive club wom en of America. " t . N Campaign to Recruit More Public " Health Nurses. ' , Froolem: The present supply .of public health nurses is entirely in adequate to meet the vastly in creased demand which has resulted from the experience of the war and the influenza epidemic. The national organization for public health nurs- nig is working in several ways to remedy this' shortage. (1). By aiding in the establishment' new post graduate courses in public health nursing. (2). By modifying present hospital training school . courses bo that young women with good. edu cational background' high school or college graduates can become graduate nurses, qualified in addition to dovpublic Health work, in less time than formerly required. (3) By sending literature to student nurses, describing the demand and 'the ad vantages in the public health nurs ing field. (4). By distributing liter ature to young women high school and college students urging the ad vantages qf public health nursing as a prbfession. , Mercy Home.

She was president of the Worces ter, Mass., Woman's club for three terms arid it was during her ad ministration that its beautiful club house was built The civil service department of the general federation was organized by Miss Bacon and she was its first chairman. She ex tended this organization to each of the 'states and left the Work of this committee firmly and permanently established..', She planned arid put into operation the budget system for the general federation and has al ways preached the doctrine of liv ing within its income, the income to be interpreted as meaning the money received from dues each As ihe'director of thrift for. the general federation . -which has been her special activity during the past year, Miss Bacon has worked in close co-operation with the savings division e-f the United' States Treas ury department and has visited sev eral of the -states in the south and middle-west either to .help organize the thrift' work or to preside at im portant conferences between the women's organizations and the vari ous Chambers'of Commerce, Boards of Trade and confer with celebrated economists.- V y . .

White Man's Customs . ' From Y. W. C.'A. . ' 'One-third o the Indians in the United States live in Oklahoma. From ,tiie eastern to the western borders of the state you can find red men living in almost every stage of civilization, according to Miss Bertha Eckert, a Wellesley grad uate, who has taught " in Indian schools, for several years and has just; given tin teaching' to work with the V. W. C. A. for Indian girls in the southwest. 1 v , "The most difficult problem we have with the Indian school girl." says Miss ' Eckert,' '"is to Jielp her hold herself true to the principles slie has learned at school when she returns to her parents' home. In the western part of Oklahoma near ly all the girls come to government schools from homes where their mothers still wear the-blankets and follow many of the old tribal cus toms. ' "It is very hard for such a girl , when she goes borne for her vaca tion, and oiten tne conamoirs are dangerous. Tribal dances and other customs, with the incroasing use of the drug peyote, are attended with immorality, of which she becomes the victim. ' , y "At school she lias many girl friends. She goes back to her home on the prairie, separated by miles, perhaps; from the nearest house, ,nd she is lonesome. At school she has had all modern conveniences and congenial friends. Her little, home seems crude and bare and even her mother's ways are strange. -' , '.'Tne problems of the Jndia,n, girls in: eastern and western Oklahoma are" quite different," says Miss Eck ert in the eastern part the girls come from the 'Five :TrS1)es,' the civilized tribes Cherokees, Choc taws, Greeks', ' Seminoles, Chicka saws. These girls attend the pub lie schools in large numbers and have mingled more or less with white girls. Their home conditions are practically the same as those of white girls and they are less sub ject to the dangers that often threaten their Indian sisters m western ' Oklahoma. "In our Y. W. C. A. work among the Indian gitJs we hope first of all to reach them how to play and have good times together. Girls from some tribes know nothing of group games and in their, homes sit for hours doing nothing. As they become accustomed to mingling with each other we te,ach them how to conduct club meetings. Through their club 'work we have to teach them. that the Indians have a con tribution, to civilization, as their folk lore, their wood craft and their tra ditions. And finally above all, we hope to have their girls realize that they have a responsibility to their own people and that they should re turn to them as social helpers and teachers."
