II is satisfactory TO hear of some
good thing occurring i'm Russia. 1t is
said that the condition of the Jews is
very much improved under the pres.
ent Gar. The laws against them are
put in force less severely and conccs-
sions have been made TO them. They
have been encouraged 10 leave the
"ghettos," or Jewish quarters of the
towns and mingle with the rest of
the population. 1t is also said that
their rights in trade and property
more freedom of travel, better educa-
tional privileges, and have a better
chance in the courts. This all sounds
well enough, but any country which
| is ruled at the within of an autocrat. is
bound to suffer injustice and wrong.
\ courtier with grievance against a
Jewish village could any moment gain
the ear of the Gar, and by putting a
case to him in an unfavorable light,
might plunge every one in that viii
| lage into untold misery. Absolute
power can upon occasion do good. and
do it quickly, but the trouble with alb
solute power is its capacity to do in
finite wrong. Neither the Jews in
Russia. nor any other class, will ever
enjoy true happiness until the whole
| system of autocracy is swept away,
and free and liberal government
takes its place. Such an event will
come during the next century, the
trouble will be that it will come in a
sea of blood and a whirlpool of crime
and cruelty, the result of centuries of
autocratic rule. The remedy will be
sharp and fearful, but the recovery,
in a nation of such strong mental Vi
tally as the Russians, will be swift,
and then, and then only, will Russia
become truly great.

Among things that might be done
here is the proper training of nurses.
There is no reason why city of this
size. with the large number of able
physicians that are in practice here.
should not have regular school OF
nurses whose pupils would receive
regular lectures and instruction from
the doctors and gain experience in the
wards of the hospital. This would be
an excellent profession for young
women. At present almost the only
career open to women is the teaching
profession, but not all of them care
for it, and there are many, who. if the
opportunity were offered them. would
much prefer to be nurses. There is
quite field for trained nurses. aside
from hospital work, and many WON.
an who is now dependent would be
able to become independent if such a
school could be established. The idea
it is to be hoped, will meet the appro-
val and the active cooperation of the
physicians of the city.
