St. Helena Sanitarium Training School for Missionary Nurses
By Editor
On April 2, 1912, we would gladly welcome thirty-five consecrated young men and women to our spring class. This is a call for a larger class than we have ever yet formed, but it is due to the expansion of the sanitarium and hospital work and the opening up of additional facilities in San Francisco—laying 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 our own need of trained workers, we urge our young people to come now and enter the work. With a large four-story hospital connected with the sanitarium, those in the training school have the advantage of a thoro preparation in surgical work. A laboratory course in gastric and urine analysis 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.
