RED CROSS TO
TRAIN NURSES
Classes at Mechanicsburg to
Start Under Supervision
of National Society
Mechanicsburg, Pa., May I.

activities in communities, classes in
health, hygiene and care of sick in
the homes, will start in Mechanics

course consists of fifteen lessons and
the only expense to members is
one dollar, which includes text
book and registration fee.
In connection with the work, a
room will be furnished so that,
throughout the course, practical
demonstration can be made with an

member of the class. Instructions
will be given in bathing, haircomb
ing, changing of linen and all phases
of work in connection with nursing,
especially in diseases, such as pneu

ing and proper clothing.
The idea was evolved from the
demand for knowledge in the care
of the sick during the recent epi
demic of influenza and pneumonia,

to secure.

given at the expense of the Ameri
can Red Cross from whom a certifi
