G. In the great majority of schools the pupil nurse Is at no expense for tuition, board, room, laundry or uniform. Thet regularity and Interest of the for Arrnu Service IIB GROWING demand for nurses for service with the 'American army is creating a problem which eventually must be solved by the civilian population of the' country. Every city and town In the country Is affected by the unparalleled call for nurses, for upon pvery community there rests the responsibility of releasing as many nurses as possible for military service and adapting Itself to the new wartime conditions which ore bound to follow. The country has shown a determination that its soldiers and sailors shall have proper care, declares Miss Jane A. Delano, director of the department of nursing of the American Red Cross. Miss Delano has been responsible for the organization of the great war nursing service of the Red Cross. The calls made upon the Red Cross nursing service by the government have been met up to this time, said Miss Delano, In discussing the growing need of nurses. The gravity of the situation lies In the problem Immediately confronting the country. It is Inconceivable that our boys and men, who are offering all they have for us. should not have the best care that the utmost skill and devotion can give them. Nurses have responded splendidly to military service, as soon ns they have realized the enormity of the needs. The nursing profession will not fall. But the fact that must be brought home to everyone is that every nurse released for military duty leaves a vacancy In civilian life. And this, too, at a time when there Is an Increased amount of sickness and distress brought about by the very war conditions which decrease the number 'of nurses In civilian hospitals. By a recent estimate of the surgeon generals office not far from 80,000 nurses may be needed. If the war continues, for our army alone, and the allies are depending on us to supplement their own nursing service. There are between 80,000 Land 00,000 nurses registered In JheJUuttcd States.. Approximately 17,000 of this number are already enrolled Red Cross nurses. This enrollment Is the reserve of the United States army nurse corps and navy nurse corps, and from It nurses are also supplied to the United States public health service as required. Since the declaration of war the department of nursing has selected and equipped for service with the army nurse corps 4,204 nurses, and with the navy nurse corps 570. It is maintaining several hundred more" directly under the Red Cross. 89 nurses in France, 12 in Rouinanla, three In Greece and one in Serbia, and 56 Red Cross public health nurses on duty In the sanitary zones surrounding the cantonments. There are also over 2,000 nurses organized into units and practically ' ready for mobtllzatlon. v enrollment of with the Red nurses' the Though Cross averages 1,000 a month, not even this num--bwill meet the constantly increasing needs of the government, continued Miss Delano. So far, by careful adjustmentthese demands have been-nwithout seriously disorganizing the home conditions. But from now on every possible effort will have to be made by the general public, as well ' as by the nursing profession and nurses training schools to meet wisely and effectively the Crisis that is created by the rapidly decreasing number of nurses in civilian hospitals."

The training offers rich compensations for its exacting work," said Miss Delano, for the capable trained nurse has gained along with knowledge cf suffering and tragedy, the broad outlook of one who has learned to think In terms of humanity; and the realization that her work Is helping to make the world a happier and a better place." - What It means to be a Red Cross nurse is a question that Is asked repeatedly at all chapter headquarters. To be a Red 'Cross nurse is to haver met the standards of enrollment of the Red Cross, and to be subject to such calls of duty from the Red Cross as are specified In the enrollment Red Cross nurses receive no compensation except when on active duty.
