The School of Nursing.-The School of Nursing is open to young
women of from eighteen to twenty-eight years of age who have completed the second year of the high school. To carry on the work of the
school they must be physically fit and of good moral character. The
course of study is of three years duration and consists of both theoretical

Government service or private institutions, though some engage in private
practice. At present there are three hundred students in the school and
the cost to the Government per student, including tuition, board and
lodging, and cash allowance, is P1,750 for the entire course. It is
money well spent, for in many places throughout the Islands the graduate nurse is the only person with adequate knowledge of personal and
community hygiene and the evidences of disease.
When the College of Medicine was,founded in 1910, the Philippine
Commission appropriated the sum of P250,000 for a medical school

structure with the necessary laboratories, lecture halls, recitation rooms,

In that year there were but 60 students, and it was thought that

the Schools of Dentistry and Pharmacy were established under the
College of Medicine, and, as Table 116 indicates, all three divisions
are growing in numbers. Today there are 470 students receiving instruction in a building which was erected to accommodate 250. In
subjects like medicine, surgery, dentistry, and pharmacy, where so large
