National Patriotic Organization of Women In the far-off Philippines, native mothers call their children “D.A.R. babies” and other natives recover ing from illness, attribute their good luck to the “D.A.R. cure.” It is all because native nurses, trained in the United States under the auspices of the Daughters of the American Revolution, are serv ing in Filipino hospitals and homes in furthering the cause of public health. Mrs. Leland S. Duxbury, Minneapolis, recent regent of the Minnesota society, D.A.R., explain ed Saturday. Reports of the activities of these nurses, received by D.A.R. leaders here, have called attention to a lit tle publicized work of the national society. The project is carried out by means of the Caroline E. Holt scholarship fund. This fund, orig inally called, in 1913, the Philippine scholarship fund, was the first scholarship ever mentioned by the national society. In 1928, the name was changed in memory of its founder and first chairman, Caro line E. Holt. The income of this fund has been used for the purpose of sending to the United States an outstanding Filipino girl for three years’ special training in nursing. They are educated in Columbia university in New York. ‘Trained in the American system of health and hygiene, they return to their native land to aid and help their people. Back in 1927, Damiana Dolorico- Ambrosio, first D.A.R. nurse, re turned to her native island and be gan her labors. Today her name is known throughout the islands because of the splendid service she has rendered. She was assistant superintendent of the nurses’ serv ice of the public welfare commis sion. Later she became a mem ber of the faculty of Far Eastern university, teaching health educa tion. She served as a member of the board of examiners for Filipino nurses, and is now a director of the Filipino Y.W.C.A. Another nurse, Celeriya Trinos Miguel, won recognition as a ma ternity nurse while in training in New York. She is now devoting her young life to public health nursing in her home province, La guna, Philippine Islands. At present, two nurses are doing post graduate study at Columbia university. They too will go back across the vast Pacific to serve as nurses among their people. And as they return, other young Filipino girls will come to Ameri ca to study under the Caroline E. Holt scholarship fund. “This scholarship is only one of the many offered by the National Society D.A.R. in its widespread ing educational program. In Minnesota the state organiza tion has sponsored the education of an Indian girl, Lily Rock, who stud ied home economics at at the Uni versity of Minnesota in prepara tion for a position which she now holds as an itinerant instructor in home economics on the Red Lake Indian reservation. “Another Minnesota D. A. R. scholarship project is the Maria Sanford fund, the money from which is loaned to upper class stu dents attending to our state educa tional institutions. In addition to these state proj ects Many chapters have individual scholarships such as Wenonah chapter, which gives a $100 schol arship annually to a student in the Winona Teachers’ college.
