mHE General Federation of

lie health department, is-waging
a campaign tor more puplic health
nurses. EUa Phillips Crandall'is
chairman of this work. Nebraska
has a chairman in the health depart

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. ,

Indian 'Scliool Girls Learn:
. 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."
