HELP WANTED AT THE BATTLE CREEK SANITARIUM
By John Harvey Kellogg
In spite of the establishment of a dozen branch institutions in different parts of the United States within the last four or five years, the patronage of the home institution at Battle Creek has continued to grow, and at the present time the number of patients is much larger than at any previous time in the history of the institution for this season of the year. The twenty buildings of the sanitarium will not begin to hold the sanitarium family. About sixty rented cottages are also occupied. The great number of patients requiring attention creates a demand for efficient men and women to look after them. A considerable increase in the number of efficient workers will be required for the approaching summer season, when the number of patients will be considerably increased. We want especially the following:— Fifty strong young women to enter our Industrial department, in preparation for the Missionary Nurses' Training Course, to begin Jan. 1, 1902. The intervening months will be devoted to preparatory studies—chemistry, physics, physiology, hygiene, cookery, and other subjects that are required for entrance to the regular course. Fifty able-bodied young men to enter the Industrial department under the same conditions as stated above. Twenty women, of good judgment, from twenty-eight to forty years of age, strong and able-bodied, who have had experience as housekeepers, who, with training, would be competent to act as matrons of small sanitariums and sanitarium branches in our different cities. Twenty-five young women who have had experience as school-teachers, to be prepared to go out as teachers in connection with schools of health. Ten men who have had a practical business experience, who have good education, good address, and can give good reference as successful business men, to be trained to hold positions as business managers of branch sanitariums, vegetarian restaurants, and other enterprises. Twenty able-bodied women with a special aptitude for cooking, to be trained for cooks for sanitariums and vegetarian restaurants.
