AMERICAN NURSES IN PRAGUE.

As part of the American Red Cross policy of making secure the benefits arising from its help to the hardpressed small states of Europe, both during the war and since the armistice, two nurses are sailing for overseas to establish a training school for nurses under the American Red Cross and the Czechoslovak government at Prague, Bohemia. Miss Marion Parsons, of Canton, Mass., recently chief nurse of general hospital No. 22, of the British Expeditionary force, and Miss Alotta M. Lentell, who served with the American Red Cross at La Panne, Belgium, are the two nurses assigned to the work.

During the three years that these nurses will develop the school at Prague, two young women from Czechoslovakia will be sent to this country to enter an American training school for nurses to prepare themselves to carry on the work initiated by the Americans, upon their return.
