sixty nurses. The hotel is under French management
and leased by the Red Cross; about twenty minutes
from the Red Cross office, but gives excellent
comodation for the nurses at nominal cost.
We had telephoned to A.R. C Military Hosp No. 2
that we would be there in the afternoon. The Chief
Nurse, Miss Edie was absent when we arrived and the
first person I met was Blanche Horner from New York.
The second surprise was to find sitting in the hall
near the lobby, Miss Dwyer of the A.N.C. Miss Edie
is a member of the A.N.C. but not enrolled and a
British-subject - very pleasant and seems efficient.
Miss Horner has been in this hospital for hearly two
years and seems to have done excellent work: She acts
as Assistant to Miss Edie and is in charge of the
Operating-room
January I6 Went to A.R.C Military Hospital No. I
(American Ambulance )with Miss Waters Went Miss
Eakins for the first time. Was greatly surprised to
find Dorothy Mann and Frances Latimer as Head Nurses,
both doing excellentwork and apparently very happy
Was fortunate in meeting Mrs. Munroe, while at the
hospital, but cannot say that the meeting was a parti-
cularly enthusiastic one on either side. After
a
complete tour of the hospital, which was not nearly
as luxuriously furnished as I had expected and not
particularly orderly, we met the nurses at tea.
My
impression of Miss Eakins is that she has done very
good work under difficult conditions and has probably
handled the situation very much better thana stranger
would, unless it could have been a nurse with a good
deal of force and influence. The patients seemed
comfortable and happy, but the hospital as a whole
impressed: as rather casual in its discipline and
management. Miss Eakins had little to complain of
in regard to the Nurses Aids, but felt that they would
have done far better work, if entirely under the con-
trol of the nurses. was greatly interested in a plan
