St. Helena Training School for Missionary Nurses

By GEO. THOMPSON; MYRTLE B. HUDSON

On April 2, 1912, we would gladly welcome thirty-five consecrated young men and women to our spring class.

A call for a class of this size has never before been made, but it is now possible because of the expansion of the sanitarium and hospital work, and the opening up of additional facilities in San Francisco,—the laying of the foundation for a more extensive work in anticipation of the great opportunities offered by the world's fair of 1915.

The sanitarium board has decided to open treatment-rooms in the best part of the city of San Francisco, in addition to the Laguna Street Dispensary. This added work will necessitate more workers; but the cities must be warned.

Believing that “medical missionary work is the door through which the truth is to find entrance to the large cities,” and realizing the need of medical missionary workers in foreign fields as well as in the home field, we urge our young people to come now and enter this branch of the cause.

With a large four-story hospital connected with the sanitarium, those in the training-school have the advantage of a thorough preparation in surgical work. A laboratory course in gastric and urine analyses is also now part of the required work.

It is necessary that students shall have completed at least the eighth grade of preliminary school work.

The training-school calendar and an application blank will be forwarded upon request.
