THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1919.

APPLICANTS FOR NURSE TRAINING SHOW DECREASE Only Two Are Now on Waiting List at Reid Memorial Hospital. A notable decrease in applications

for training at Reid Memorial hospital within the last year is reported by hospital authorities. At this time there are 22 nurses taking training with only two on the waiting list. Thi9 is unusual because there are usually a great number waiting to be accepted. According to authentic reports this seems to be true in hospitals all over the country. Just why such a condition should exist at this time is not known. Many girls who would have gone Into hospitals for the three year course took up the Reserve Nurses' work which was taken in government hospitals. "When it is considered that the nursing profession became so Important during the war it Is strange that so few girls are taking it up now," said a hospital official. "There probably never was a time when so many young women were so sincerely eager to make their life work count for something worth while. Since the place of the woman in the world has been raised during the war the thoughtful girl or woman is not satisfied any more with simply an easy job. It is true that she wants something that will make money for her, but she also wants something that will stir her interests, that will de

velop her latent ability, and will give

her a chance to contribute something to the real work of the world. The opportunities for public and personal service which are opening up to the qualified woman are almost unlimited. Broad Scope of Activities "There is no profession which offers larger returns ..or greater possibilities of service to the educated woman as the nursing profession. The profession is one of the finest of fine arts. A woman who has completed the three year course of nurses training Is qualified not only to nurse but she is ready to take up work as a superintendent in a hospital, public health nursing, district of visiting nursing, infant welfare work, social service and welfare work, school nursing, army, navy and Red Cross nursing, and work In home and foreign mission fields. In fact there are between twenty and thirty lines of activity that are fairly distinct, that a woman has to enter after completing the course. "All Indications are that the demand

for nurses will be greater In the future. There are about 100,000 nurses practicing in the United States at this time, and yet, the demand for competent nurses far exceeds the supply. . Wherever the new idea of health conservations is being actively worked out nurses will be needed. The profession is so broadened that the demand will increase steadily. Competent nurses will be needed not only in homes and hospitals, but as workers on boards of health, in philanthropic societies, systems of education, in factories, department stores and rural districts. The scope of the work is at present practically unlimited, and the promise of really live, interesting and useful employment is assured to all who are personally qualified and who fit themselves adequately for it.

"The war has greatly . stimulated the interest In the work. The work of the nurse almost equals that cf

tne man who actually - fought the j battle. She exposed herself to the . same dangers. The place of the nurso

will always be placed at the top of the phllanthropio professions. "Although the remuneration at the time of the training Is small the cost of the training is almost nothing to the girl or woman taking it and after she has finished her course and is ready to take up her work she can demand a large salary." .

ASK CONSTRUCTION OF COMMONS ROAD

The board of works Thursday morning received a resolution for the Com-

mins road, construction of which has been asked tor under the three-mile road law. The resolution was referred

to the city attorney, and the city en

gineer. ' , - The contract and bond of C. M. KirkPatrick of Greenfield, who received the contract for the construction of the South Ninth street road, and of Dan

iel Burkhardt, contractor for an im

provement on South B street, were approved by the board, as. was the-petition , of Henry Gennett for sidewalk improvements at his residence. .

Two Cases Filed Under Compensation Act Heard Two cases in which Richmond employers are asked ; to compensate workmen for injuries under the state compensation act, were heard Thursday morning in circuit court room before Judge Samuel Artman of Lebanon, a member of the state Industrial board.

House Shortage Causes . G. 0. P. Committee Delay , Upon the house shortage in Indianapolis depends the next meeting of the Republican committee, which will select a county chairman. Lewis Bowman, present county chairman, has been searching for a house in the crowded capital, and as soon as he finds one, will move his family to that city. He would have moved before now, if able to find a house, said members of the family Thursday. As soon as Bowman leaves the county, he will resign as county chairman, and the committee must be called together to select a new one. Karl Meyers and Frank Strayer, who announced his candidacy some days ago, are so far the only candidates for the place.

The awards made by the War Labor

Board in the Richmond Labor case, involving disputes between the employ

es and employers of Richmond, which were handed down Wednesday, were the best that could be made under the circumstances is the opinion of many

prominent local labor leaders. Lucius

Harrison, secretary of the Central Labor Council, said . Wednesday that he believed the War Labor Board has solved the problem in the best possi

ble way. "Since the board cannot en

force its recommendations," said he.

"this was the best that could be done,

l Deiieve that It will 1 be an easy matter to enforce the recommenda

tions of the War Labor Board because

already, with perhaps one or two ex

ceptions, increases in, wages have

been given, through the efforts of or

ganized labor, and shop committees have been . recognized In some instances. . . : , "1 am very optimistic about the findings, in the -Richmond case.. I think the awards, in the main, what might be expected at this time. If we were still in war and the case had been taken up when we were still at war, I should have expected them to

be entirely different. The recommendations confirm the principles laid down by organized labor. In that we have succeeded to a great deal. Equal pay for women, collective bargaining, recognition of shop committees, and back pay for discharged em

ployees are some of tne things we have sought and are recommended in the awards. "The eight-hour day was not recommended, but the board did recommend that the shop committees and the employers get together on this question and arrange something that would be satisfactory to both. If the board had

recommended an eight-hour day ft would , have been necessary for the two to get together any way. VI. am Tery optimistic about the whole. thing and feel that labor has been benefitted. The majority of labor leaders feel this was the best that could ' be done under the circumstances." - Many local labor leaders stated Wednesday . that the nature of the awards were Just about what they expected, v -; , Richmond , maunf acturers were reticent to express themselves concerning the awards. .
