RED CROSS TRAINING FOR WOMEN. [To THE EDITOR OF THE
"SPECTATOR."]
SIR,—I have read with interest, under " Red Cross Training for Women" in your last issue, that a congress has been arranged to take place at Exeter the beginning of next month, when representatives from all parts of Great Britain will have an opportunity of exchanging views. In my humble opinion I have always felt it would be an excellent plan and a great help to those who give "voluntary" aid if they could have an opportunity, if only once a week, of witnessing the "routine" of a "hospital," if only a local one. There is so much in its "organization" that would be a help to many, and to be accustomed to the sight of operations and their attendant unnerving circumstances cannot in my mind be too highly estimated. Possibly this matter could be brought forward at the coming congress.—I am, Sir, &.c., EVELYN GRAHAM MURRAY (At one time assistant probationer in the Deaconess Hospital, Edinburgh, and No. 1Base Hospital, Wynberg, South Africa).
[Clearly wherever possible arrangements should be made for members of Women's V.A.O.'s to attend at local hospitals for purposes of instruction. We believe it will be found that this is the usual practice.—En. Spectator.]
