reserve for these organizations. Regulations were later issued
by the Secretary of War making the Red Cross Nursing Service the
reserve of the Army Nurse Corps, and the proulamation issued by
the President of the United States in 1911 placed on the Red Cross
the responsibility of acting as the only relief agency permitted
to render aid to the Land and Naval forces in time of War. In
order that the work might develop along lines acceptable to the
Army and Navy, the Chairman of the National Committee on Red Cross
Nursing Service accepted the appointment as the Superintendent of the
Army Nurse Corps in 1909. (Sixteenth Annual Report of the American
Society of Superintendents of Training Schools for Nurses - 1910,
page 91-95.)
2.
In 1912 Miss Delano resigned as Superintendent of the Army Nurse
Corps in order to devote her entire time to the development of a
Red Cross Nursing Service.
3.
The Bureau of Nursing Service, functioning under the Department of
Military Relief, was created in 1916 and Miss Clara D. Noyes was
placed in charge of this bureau and was responsible for the selection
and assignment to duty of all nurses except Public Health Nurses.

Bureau of Enrollment was authorized in 1917.
6. The Bureau of Dietitian Service was organized in 1916 for the
0
purpose of securing the services of trained hospital dietitians
for Base Hospital Units then being organized by the Red Cross for
service overseas, and also to secure a list of instructors who might
monduct classes in hospital and home dietetics.
7.
The Bureau of Public Health Nursing had operated prior to May 1918
as the Bureau of Town and Country Nursing Service. This service was
reorganized at this date under the Department of Nursing.
8.
The variety of activities conducted by these four bureaus, all the
outgrowth of the Bureau of Nursing Service seemed to justify the
creation of a separate Department of Nursing which was authorized by
the Executive Committee of the Red Cross, December 7, 1917, Miss
Jane A. Delano was appointed Director of this department, retaining
her relation as chairman of the National Committee on Red Cross
Nursing Service. Miss Delano then gave her entire time to supervising
and directing the Red Cross Nursing Service, which recruited and en-
rolled more than 35,000 American nurses. What her accomplishment has
been is shown in the Nursing Statistics attached, and in the future
program of the American Red Cross in developing Public Health Nursing
and Hea 1th Education.
