RUT1-I STORY, R. N. Superintendent terms. Full high school credit or its equivalent is required for admission. Ruth Ann Story, Director of Nurses, has been connected with the school since 1920. In April, l93l, she was appointed as a member of the Missouri State Board of Nurse Examiners and has served with that group since, holding the office of Treasurer of that Board. The remainder of the staff consists of Frances Stanbrough, Mildred Jones and Sybil Ellis as Supervisors. The school is accredited by the Missouri State Board of Nurse Examiners and carries an enrollment of about thirty- six students, with incoming classes being admitted each September. Although a great majority of the young women who begin their careers as nurses here at the Laughlin Training School come from Kirksville and nearby towns of Northeast Missouri, not a few travel many miles from distant states. The Laughlin Training School for Nurses T1-113 FIRST Training School for Nurses was founded at the American School of Osteopathy by Dr. Charles E. Still in 1905. At that time it was one of three existing schools in the State of Missouri, and has been an accredited school of nursing thereafter. Since its beginning several hundred young women have been graduated. Through tl1e efforts of Dr. George M. Laughlin this school was fused to form the present Laughlin Training School for Nurses in 1920. t The school offers a course of instruction extending overa three year period which is divided into Preliminary, Junior and Senior F ii, W In this respect the school is nearly as cosmopolitan as the ' college itself. This is in a large part due to the fact that the osteopathic concept is so wide-spread, making an increasingly annual demand for nurses trained under its principles. Upon graduation each nurse receives the diploma of the school. This admits each one to the Alumnae Association of the Laughlin Training School for Nurses and she also then becomes a member of the District, State and National Nurses Organizations, all of which are units'in the National Federa- tion of Women's Clubs.
