Rude, Director of the Division of Hygiene of the Children's Bureau,\nhas written asking Miss Fox to help her to get a number of public health nurses on the\nCivil Service list for positions with the Children's Bureau. A Federal Civil Service\nExamination for Consulting Public Health Nurses is being conducted now and up to March\n7th. Dr. Rude says in this connection:\n\"This examination is being held in anticipation of a few appointments which it may\nbe necessary to make in developing work under the Sheppard-Towner act or in connection\nwith other work in the Children's Bureau requiring the services of an expert public\nhealth nurse.\n\"of course you can understand that in order to efficiently develop a particular pro-\ngram of work under the Sheppard-Towner act it is necessary that we have R splendid regis-\nter from which to make appointments. Any assistance which you can give by calling at-\ntention to this exemina tion will be greatly appreciated.\"\nDr. Rude in talking to Miss Fox over the phone said she was very anxious to get on to\nthe Civil Service list some of the best public health nurses in the country in order to set\na high standard. She hoped some of you would be willing to apply for this reason al-\nthough it might be unlikely that you would ever consider a position in the Children's Bu-\nreau. Moreover, she said that there would occasionally be need of employing someone for\na special study or investigation at a higher salary, and for this reason also she hoped\nsome of the most experienced public health nurses in the country would get on to the list\nin order that she might draw on them for such special pieces of work.\nYou understand that putting your name on the list does not in any way obligate you\nto accept a position, nor does it mean that you are applying for a position. In fact,\nwe should be extremely distressed if you did so. It does meansthat as an experienced\nchild welfare nurse you will be helping to set a high standard which is what the Children's\nBureau is seeking to have. I think Dr. Rude will appreciate it if you will he willing\nto apply.\nSincerely yours,\nAssistant Director\nRed Cross Public Heal th\nKWH/ccl\nNursing Service"
