Miss Hay is organizing courses in home care of the sock and home dietetics, to be given throughout the country, if women everywhere would master the elements of caring for sick members of their own families a tremendous strain on the nursing profession would be relieved, and thousands of expert nurses would be free to attend the wounded on the western front. Miss Hay was the matron of the ARC Hospital at Kiev, Russia, in 1914-1915 and at the special request of Queen Eleonora of Bulgaria, founded the first nurses' training school in Sofia.
