Ea aT REISE ee NUNN ener SEOTNY OID GOLLEGE WOMEN - CHLLEDONTO.ON ___ CAM FORNURSES Training School at Vassar to Help Win the War Opens June 24, New York Farmerettes, New Aids To Uncle Sam, Have Flag Raising | | “That women are not responding to the country's call for nurses is not because they are slackers or unwill- ing to serve, but because they do not realize the country’s vital need for their work,” said Jane Delano, head of the Red Cross Nursing Service, in indorsing the “College Women’s Platttsburg,” the training camp for nurses to be held at Vassar College this summer, “Nurses and more nurses, if Amer- joa is to win the war,” continues Miss Delano's plea to college women to help in the present emergency. “Men are being called to the colors by the hundreds of thousands. Whether they will be protected and cared for when wick and wounded depends an whether American women are willing to make the same sacrifices their brothers are making. “College women throughout the country will be interested in the ac- tion that Vassar is taking in throw- ing open its doors next summer for a three months pre!iminary course in subjects required in the best hos- pital training schools. This ts being done not only with the object of dringing to college women the op- portunities open to them in the nurs- ing profession to-day, but to give them theoretical instruction under favorable college conditions.” In answer to an appeal to college women to join the camp, the Vassar Recruiting Committee, Women's Unt- versity Club, has received hundreds of letters of inquiry and application from graduates of seventy-one col- leges. College women are espectally wanted in the nursing profession be- cause their previous education tn science makes it possible to shorten the period of training without low- ering nursing standards. ‘The College Woman's Plattsburg”’ opens June 24. Hospital wards will be set up in the college, where the etudents will be taught the general) work of ward management under definite supervision. Immediately ‘upon completing the course the stu-| S dent nurses are under moral obliga- |Tenewed and special vigor, | : “Every man of military age is tion to serve two years in hospitals, | needed, and needed now.
