GREAT WOMEN YOU
SHOULD KNOW
Not very long ago there were no
women to go into the hospitals to see
the wounded soldiers brought in from
the battle field.
Florence Nightingale was very
kind to the soldiers and sailors. Site
was an English girl born almost one
hundred years ago.
As a little girl she loved flowers
and animals and was kind to the peo
j.le. One winter in London she visited
• a hospital and didn’t like to see the
dirty surroundingi so she decided to
be a nurse there. Site gave up her
society life and for twelve years she i
u t vt It don t he- continent c f Europe.
. Whenihereturned to England to
found a hospital there, the Crimean
war broke opt. There were two thous
and wounded men in the military
hospital, some of them were lying for
Cays in the mud and sometimes on
the floor. There were no soap or towel s
’ end there was only one kind of food
for the sick men, Irish Stew. So
Florence Nightinagle was called by
the British government. She came
with a group of women from her host
ital and the dirt was cleaned away
The men were bathed and were given
better food to eat. letters were w.iiten
to their ho mesfot them.
After the war was over fourteen j
natiowbad a great meeting at Gu: >
eva Switzerland iJ the year lSS^ |
gave to the world the Organization
of the Red Cress. Each nation decid
ed to work with other nations in'
taking care of the sick men. 'Human
ity and ’’ Neutrality" were need as:
watchwords of the Ned Cross.
In the year I860 the great Civil
war broke out. Before tire war Doro,
thea Dixwas well known in Anterior
find Europe. When the war broke1
oat, she saw in Baltimore station
that the eoldiers weren't cared for
The next train took her to Wash.D.G
fond they made her a Superintendent
of women nurses. For four years she
didn’t have a holiday. But when the
^ Secretaiy of War 8sked whut the
nation could do to than* her for her
work, she said " I would like a lag ’• j
they gave her two flags and site |
presented one to Harvard College
Clara Barton was the third work
er for the soldiers. One day she was
standing in the station at Washing
ton She saw a train bad of wounded
I soldiers. The men were hungry, cold
and without doctor's caw, Clara Bate
ton had them carried to the hospital
fed them and wrote letters for them
When the war was over Clara Bar !
ton went abroad for a rest and there
she heard of the Red Cross Society.
The Geneva treaty was signed by
the United States in 1862, and she
was its first President.
