At the last meeting, held at the home of Mrs. F. H. Murphy, committees were appointed and plans made for the year. Rollcall was answered with liberty reel pea Yvf 7- w HILE Portland, is mobilizing her married graduate nurses In the organization known - as "The Home Defense Nurses," and ypung girls are taking Jhe first aid courses in Ore gon Agricultural College, in the Toung Women's Christian Association, " under the auspices of the Red Cross, college women are looking toward vassar, where a special course in nursing will be given this Summer for college grad uates from 21 to 31 years of age. Miss Harriet Wood.- of the Portland rublic library, is chairman of the local committee that is taking names for en rollment in the class. Ever since the United States entered the European War it has been the keen desire of - Vassar trustees, faculty, alumnae and undergraduates to have some definite, necessary and- helpful part in its prosecution. Last June, 11 response to an appeal of the Provl sional Alumnae Council that, provided the war should continue without pros pect of termination, some patriotic use might be made of Vassar's build ings and grounds, the board of trus tees appointed a committee of three to devise such a plan. The committee was composed of Frank R. Chambers, Frank L. Babbott and Mrs. John T. Blodgett, 84, chairman. The Department of Nursing of the American Red Cross, the mobilizing agency lor nurses in military service. is in urgent need of recruits. The present average of enrollment is 1000 nurses a month. But this enrollment. heavy as it is. will not be sufficient to keep pace with the military needs of the Government- It has been estimated by the Sur geon-General's office that if the war continues, within a short time the Red Cross will nee4 between 30,000 and 40,- uuu nurses lor tne Army alone. The allies also are depending upon us to supplement their own nursing service. There are between 80,000 and 90,000 registered nurses in the United States at the present time. Approxmately 6.500 of ths number are enrolled Red Cross nurses, the majorty of whom are n active service, ready- for mobiliza tion or prepared for special service. It the Red Cross enrollment which forms the reserve of the United States Army Nurse Corps and the United States 'Navy Reserve Corps. According to Miss Jane Delano. chairman of the National Committee on Red Cross Nursing Service, the fact that the recruiting of nurses is not keeping pace with military, needs, does I not indicate that the women of this country are "slackers"- in the nursing service, but merely shows that the sud den and extraordinary heavy demand for - nurses has . not been thoroughly realized by the women available for this service. Already the nursing service of the Red Cross has equipped and sent abroad 1790 nurses for service with the Army and Navy Nurse Corps; has pro vided about 2500 nurses for home serv Ice with the Army . and Navy Nurse Corps in camp and cantonment hospi tals, and has over 2000 nurses organized into units and practically ready for mobilization. In addition to the nurses serving with the Army and Navy Nurse Corps, 56 Red Cross public' health nurses are on duty in the sanitary zones sur rounding the cantonment; 89 are serv ing directly under the- American Red Cross in France, 12 in Roumania, three in Greece and one in Serbia. By careful adjustment the nursing service so far has met the demands of the Government in furnishing units of nurses for military, naval and public health service, without seriously dis organizing the ranks from which they have been taken. But as these demands grow daily, a serious problem arises in home nursing for civilian needs. It has been estimated by the Army Nurse Corps 'that over 30,000 nurses will be needed on the basis of present esti mates for an army of 1,000,000 men. This situation is made doubly serious because the conditions of war which take wage-earners from the homes and nurses from the. civilian hospitals, pro duce an increased amount of sickness and distress among the civilian popu lation, with " decreased facilities for guarding its health. Miss Julia Lathrop, head of the chil dren's bureau in Washington, urges as a war conservation measure the imme diate extension of trained nursing serv ice to the women and children of the prairie and mountainous districts of the far West to lower the appalling maternal and infant mortality which is draining our National life; and she further says that 20.000 additional pub lie health nurses would reduce infant mortality in the United States to minimum. . The- subjects- taught in the three months' course include anatomy, physi ology, 'applied chemistry, bacteriology, pathology, hospital economics, nutrition and dietetics, drugs and solutions and elementary nursing (including bandag- ng). For observation clinics we have 22r. &j?&ic3 Pexro Ho, o Jvterricsns- Com m Council oAfii'oix the Hudson River State Hospital for the study of shell shock and other mental troubles, the Vassar Brothers' Hospital for general medical and surgi cal cases and the recently-established tuberculosis camp near Poughkeepsie. It is also purposed to establish a small observation ward at the college. This intensive three months' course is open to graduates of standard col leges between the years 1909-1918 in clusive. The school term is from June 24 to September 14. The student fee for the course will be 395. This will include registra tion, tuition, board and room and a spe cified quantity of laundi'y so that a vacation spent at Vassar College will be .less expensive than in any Summer resort. Any one wishing to know more de tails may apply to Miss Wood at the Library or at Wheeldon Annex. a a a At Corvallis, Dr. Browne, physical director, is giving a large num ber of girls the first aid instruction, the young women taking the study in the evening from 7 to 9 o'clock.
