"It will be good training," Polly said, "but I can hardly wait until I actually begin the real O. T. work when I'm out of college."

Psychiatry Needs Nurses, Club Hears
natures.
Out-of-town staff members and families present were: Mr. and Mrs. Webster Rickhoff, of the Kansas City, Kansas, extension center; Mr. Harry Stroud, member of the lecture course bureau at Independence, Kan.; and Miss Dorcas Ruble, former member of the extension division staff.
A need for nurses in psychiatry was emphasized recently by Miss Mabel Toothacre, supervisor of psychiatric nursing at the University of Kansas hospitals in Kansas City.
In an address to the Pre-nursing club, Miss Toothcaire said that "the critical need is explained by the fact that mental patients occupy more hospital beds than all other patients combined". There is but one registered nurse to every 132 mental patients in the United States in 1945, according to a report by the American Medical association.
"The association recommends only 20 patients to each nurse". Miss Toothacre explained. "The need for nurses in psychiatry will exist for some time, and the recovery of any patient depends upon care given him."
"Psychiatry in Action," an English movie, will be shown in Fraser hall projection room at the Occupational Therapy club meeting, 7:30 p.m. May 8. The picture shows the results and treatments of war neuroses.
