Trains Nurses’ Aides in Czecho Solvakia
Dr. Mary E. Lapham of Highlands, N.C., is taking a leading
part in giving the new republic of Czecho-Slovakia something it never had
before—trained nurses.
Dispatches from Prague, capital of Bohemia, state that Dr.
Lapham, with other members of the American Red Cross mission to
Czecho-Slovakia, realized the great need for trained nurses when the Red Cross
first entered the country. Nurses were practically unknown to the
Czecho-Slovaks, but after a conference with Miss Alice Masaryk, daughter of
President Masaryk, the Red Cross workers were allowed to lecture on nursing
before several women’s organizations.
As a result, 60 young women volunteered to take training as
nurses’ aides. They are being taught by Dr. Lapham and others and plans are
being made for the establishment of permanent schools of nursing.
