Fear that the schools would be greatly crippled, apparently has died ■iown and the opinion prevails thit, in view of what might have been and at times appeared likely, the schools are to be in fair shape and may con tinue without serious injury, even if the State does have to get on the red side of the ledger in doing it.

S. Army Nurse Corps. In a previous is- >^^ue, Time had credited the institution of the corps to the late Mrs. White- law Reid. In a letter published in this week’s issue. Dr. Anita Newcomb Mc- Gee^ honorary president of the Society '• Spanish-American War Nurses* How residing in Southern Pines, w>‘ii:es: III the cause of truth, I offer a '•Oriment on a sentence about Mrs. •’ hitelaw Reid in Time, May 11, P* M: "Through her Red Cross work, she credited with having instituted the S. Army Nursing (sic) Corps dur- the Spanish-American War.” Were this “credit” justified, I should be ■iuick to accord it, but facts were ■hr.se: hen war with Spain was declared (April, 1898), Surgeon General Stern- ‘ iR had already arranged to appoint ^'•’omen as army nurses serving under "ontract with the government. Selec tion of these nurses was put in my hands, and in August when about 1,- •00 ywomen had entered the service, I was placed on duty directly under ‘ m as Superintendent of the Army ^urse Corps, the organization of which began at once. Before the end f ’98, members of the Corps had done the nursing at the several hospi tals of each of our big camps—Mon- lauk, Chicamauga and Jacksonville, ^t 31 other hospitals in U. S., on hos pital ships and transports, in Hon^ and at several places in Cuba, in Porto Rico and the Philippines. Owing to the splendid work, efficiency and ' self-sacrifice of these women—13 of whom died at their posts in ’98—it be- I came a matter of course that the Army must have their help perma nently, so when the War Department framed the “Reorganization Act,” which became law Feb. 2, 1901, this 1 Corps became legally a part of our army. j Mrs. Reid’s Work In non€ of this work did Mrs. Reid I take any part. On the contrary, she and her associates had no conception ! of the aims developing in Washington and she used her influence with Pres ident McKinley to secure permission for a relatively very small number of nurses to work in certain army hos pitals during the emergency. Fortu nately for them, she was persuaded for a time to allow some to sign the army nurse contract, but the rest had no official status. Had all the trained nurses been done thus outside government control, there would cer tainly have been no Corps. Mrs. Reid later supported a bill for a nursing service under a Board to control it in dependent of the medical department, but such an impractical idea was nat urally a complete failure and it had no effect on the organization above outlined. - In those days the government knew nothing of publicity methods and Red Cross” was a popular term which the newspapers, especially in New York City, often loosely applied to the army nurses as well as to any woman who j nursed soldiers. In fact, Clara Bar ton had no interest in army nursing l or trained nurses in general and in the Spanish War period there existed ! no such general organization of the I Red Cross as we have now.
