The Red Cross Nurse
.4
By MISS JANE A. DELANO .
Director Department of Nursing, American Red Cross.
All the world Is needing the Red
- Cross nurse. Our own American Red
Cross nurses have gone into, military
"service as members of the A. & N.
' Nurse Corps, over 8rO00 strong; over
? 2,000 are in France taking care of our
own wounded, or at the request of
5 Gf t Britain, serving with the British
Expeditionary Forces". They have t gone
into Italy and Greece and' are on their
way to Palestine and they are some
where near Salonika. And yet, "Five
thousand more graduate nurses before
the first of June" is the campaign
call. of the Red Cross nursing service;
and this is coupled with "twenty-five
thousand by the first of January."
is: The surgeon-general of the army has
a$ked the Red Cross to supply this
number before these dates. The
-United States army and navy nurse
'corps, and the Red Cross nursing serv
ice are all calling to the graduate
innrse to enter military service.
I That there may be enough nurses
for. the army we are mobilizing the
.nursing profesison as well as these
Warious departments- of . the govern
ment is , pressing every individual
qualified nurse to make an immediate
decision as to her willingness to
jserve with-the army and navy.
I ?Every day in the headquarters of
the? American Red Cross in Washington:-groups
of trained . nurses are be
ing, mobilized for military service for
I the cantonments at home or the war
hospitals abroad. TThey are called
like- soldiers and respond like sol-
diers. The country is leaning, upon,
j them as heavily as on its fighters. For
the: United States is now fully awake
' tothe realization that an adequate
jmuriBlng force is just as essential to
j victory as adequate infantry or artil-
1 . ' pp keen, indeed, is this realization
1 that every man and woman is in-
j yolved. The government is calling on
J the general public to do its share to
make the sacrifices, fill in the gaps,
j and; promote all public and home
health measures, to release the train-
ecL'nurse for war duty. Those who
j engage private duty nurses are urged
j to- give the preference to those nurses
1 awaiting orders of mobilization that
the financial burden may not be made
1 too great. Practically every training
jsehool for nurses in the United
i States is expanding Its accommoda-
j tions to take in a greatly increased
1 number of student nurses to help
meet the unparalleled situation. Ad
! agistment is going on all along the
line..
'Also the Red Cross has modified its
former requirements for enrollment.
The j age limit has been lowered to
)1 years, and in special cases nurses
over 40 are accepted. -Smaller schools
for nurses, have- been put on the
1 accredited list, send ' applicants aye
i judged on their merits. "On; the aver
age more than .1,000 nurses a month
j arey enrolling "with the Red Cross
I nursing service, and 'its total- enroll
; ment; which is the largest of any nurs
i ing organization in the world, exceeds
: 19,000.- : . '
What It. means to -be a fled Cross
: nurse"' Is : a - questiop Ithat thousands,
1 even 'hundreds . of thousands of - wom
en, are asking.' -The1 answer; is that
to be. a: Red Cross "nurse- is to have
meet the standards of enrollment and
to be subject to such? caUs; 'of rduty
ronx the TRe.d Cross as ; axe . specified
in the enrollment,',. - : . ' '

the reserve of the United States army
and navy nurse corps, and supplies
nurses as needed to the United
States public health service. When
Red Cross nurses are called on for
service with the army and navy
nurse corps, they receive the pay and
maintenance provided by law for these
corps, and are entitled to the same
war risk insurance as officers and
enlisted men. All nurses assigned to
duty in military and naval hospitals
automatically become members of the
army and navy nurse corps, and after
their assignment to duty are no long
er under the supervision and direc
tion of the Red Cross. These nurses
wear on the collars of their uniforms
the bronze letters, "U. 8.," Indicating
service under the government. Those
serving directly under the Red Cross
wear the Red Cross insignia.
. The Red Cross nurse has become a
symbolical figure to the world. Cour
age is her tradition. While countless
thousands of men and women can only
follow the army and navy with
thoughts of eagerness and yearning,
by virtue of her knowledge and skill
she becomes a member of the one
group of women permitted to belong
to the military, directly serving the
colors, sharing the fortunes and some
of the risks of war.
Miss Alice Fitzgerald, R. N., the
Edith CaveU memorial nurse from
Massachusetts, after 19 months of
work in military hospitals in France,
wrote to her sister nurses In the
United States:
"The wounds which you will be
called upon to handle and dress are
such as you have never imagined it
possible foT a human being to be vic
tim of and yet live. If the man is
seriously crippled or disfigured, It will
be well to try not to think too much
of his wife, or his children, of his
parents, who are anxiously waiting for
news of him 'over there If the
wounded man is going to die. shall
you be able to keep out of your mind
the waiting mother, or the wife to
whom the postman's knock will mean
the bearing of the sad -news? And
when these thoughts are with you
most of your waking hours, and many
of your sleeping ones, you begin to
wonder how it will be 'possible to face
another day of it.
"Fortunately, however, there is an
other side of the work '-which makes
it possible to face each day There is
the man who is getting better and who
is happy in the-near prospect of get
ting home; there is the man whom
you did not expect to pull through,
who, by miracle or care, is going to
recover; there is the man whose brave
deed is immediately rewarded by the
formal presentation of a war medal
and the whole ward is glad with him
and is cheered by the episode; there
is the man whose wife and babv have
been allowed to come to see hlm.Kand
every man -in xne ward smiles when
tne baby smiles and longs-to pet and
quiet ii wnen u cries.
i juu lew uiat you can answer
the tsailand see it through to the best
oi your acuity, and In snitA of aJrtfca
hardships, you will find it the most
satisfying work that you have ever
none , . ana ' you -win never regret hav
tag undertaken it."
RedCross nurses slip off quietly to
vueir xortsigu service like the solders.
Sometimes they go sinpiv ,aninHmM
In groups of a hundred
, Ut!...ti . v.v
itable battalions of life, set sail for
France, their clear eyes turned toward
the
tasks
know what to do when the stretchers
come in; they will know what to do
when the operations follow fast upon
each other; they will know what to
do to ease agony, and bring comfort;
they will know how to give to every
boy; and man his fullest chance of life.
Often these units of nurses are mo
bilized for highly specialized nursing
in different branches 6f surgery pre
pared by years of the most scrupu
lously exacting training. Sometimes
they go in groups for contagious and
psychiatric work. And they may go
as mobile surgical units for duty in
the casualty clearing stations, ready
to follow the movements of - the ar
mies, to meet emergencies singly or
together, on military call, but the ma
jority of our nurses go for general
service in base hospitals.
It is the day of the trained nurse.
She is meeting life at its great crisis
when all the world Is calling for her
help; when all the world is crying
to her to prepare for the gigantic
tasks of reconstruction that will im
mediately follow the war tasks of

DETERMINED
TO EDUCATE CHILDREN
That the prosperous citizens of
Calypso, Wayne county, have the
right spirit and are determined to
keep abreast of the times, providing
the present and coming generations
with adequate schooling facilities,
was exemplified in their action of
Thursday when $16,000 was quickly
raised by public subscription and
contract awarded H. E. Bonitz, this
city, for the plans for a $25,000 school
building. Contract for the construc
tion of the proposed building will be
let the first of the month and it must
be ready for occupancy by the first of
the year. Calypso voted $16,000 in
bonds last fall, but it was later seen
that this money would not provide a
building adequate for the needs of
the- community. The raising of the
money necessary for the building
needed was comparatively easy, ac-
schools of nursing and hospitals and
dispensaries, asssting in the social
progress of all the stricken coun
tries. Never have women stood In
such an intimate relation to the work
and health and progress of the whole
world as the trained nurse of this day
and hour.
She is the soldier of life and the
symbol of the new day.
