Pre-Nursing Courses Of 3 Months Offered To Women Next Term
University Adopts Plan of Council on Education for Training Nurses
A 3-month course in pres-s nursing will be offered at the University next quarter, to women who expect to go into hospitals for training as nurses. The American Council on Education through its committee nursing has asked that this course be offered in the higher educational institutions.
The purpose of the course is to cut down the time spent in the training hospital and to give the student the advantage of better laboratory facilities. The work will consist of a 5-hour course in bacteriology, a 4-hour course in chemistry, a 5-hour course in food and nutrition. The program will be arranged so that the student may take the entire course in three months. College credit is given for the work.
The University has notified the Council on Education that thirty women can be accommodated here. The only requisite is that they be at least 20 years old and in good health. Manhattan is the only other school in Kansas offering such a course.
This pre-nursing course will cut down the usual 3-year course offered in most hospitals, from three months on, year depending on the hospital entry.
Surgeon General Gorgas urges that there be no slacking in the training of nurses as the need for them is great.

Make this a Red Cross Christmas.
A Red Cross Christmas is a Christmas of service—You'll want to have a part in such a day.
My Four Years in Germany Riley's Poems The Jane Grey Books Pocket Classics, (in leather)
The Red Cross is an institution of service. It is an organization devoted to humanity. Its first thought is solace, service and succor. Its spirit is the spirit of Christmas.
America owes it much. Our sons sing its glories. They revere and respect it—they know it truly as "the greatest mother on earth." Give—all that your heart dictates. Your heart alone should be your guide.
