TO RENEW RATIONS
FOR YOUNG INDIANS
BOutell Urges President to
Resume Old Custom.
CITES WILL OF CONGRESS
Says Conflicting Laws Led to Suspen-
sion of Issue-Current Allowance
Covers This Year Only.

Representative Boutell Of Illinois had a
conference with the President yesterday
on a subject on which he feels very
keenly-the distribution of rations among
Indian children
Mr.. Boutell has introduced several bills
on this subject. He explained that when
the treaty was made with the Sioux ma
ton. whereby their lands were coded. 1t
was expressly stipulated that certain ra-
tions should be distributed among the
families Of school children. At that time
the practice was to educate the children
in religious schools OF the various de-
nominations. In 1897 a law was passed
forbidding that appropriations should
apply to children attending other than
the Government schools The Indian
commission decided that this law IN eff
feet repealed the provisions Of the treaty
with reference 20 the distribution Of ra-
tons. This position was upheld three
years ago by a decision of the Attorney
General.
In the last Congress Mr.. BouteII sue
ceeded in having a provision inserted in
the Indian appropriation measure for
next year .forbidding discrimination
against children in other than Govern
ment schools. but this rider applies only
TO the current appropriation. He told the
President yesterday that It was his be-
lief that this expression of the will of
Congress ought to have weight in modi-
flying the ruling Of the Attorney General
on the distribution of rations. The eff
feet of such change would be TO make
permanent the plan adopted for the
current appropriation. The President
promised TO look into the matter care

The Evolution of the Nurse" saying
in part:
although living in the goth century
We scarcely appreciate the significance
of this profession. In olden times it
was confined to aged women who took
care of little children. 1t used to be
thought that nurses We're born, not
made that some special fitness for
watching was necessary, but now this
is changed. The profession of nurs-
ing has grown up with the hospital.
The first hospital was founded by the
Roman lady Fabiola in the 4th century.
The first nurses known here in the 18th
century. when certain women We're set
aside to learn about caring for the
sick Such institutions We're uniformly
under the care of the church until
after the reformation. The 18th CEN
Velopment of the hospital. Yet these
although large and numerous, We're
sadly deficient. The death rate in the
world famous institutions was so great
that it was considered safer to be un-
der the ministrations of q country ply
sician than in one of them. Now it
is very different. Every corner and
window is fortified against lruking
germs. There is no more wonderful
thing in the scientific world than the
modern hospital with its complement
of trained nurses. A surgical operation
of death. The trained nurse is indiS-
pensable. The modern trained nurse
is not like the poet, born not made. but
rather made, and formed by the most
eXacting training. She must give up to
searching probation and a rigorous
discipline to keep abreast of the time.
Besides this training the trained
nurse must have character. Nowhere
is there so much call or opportunity as
for nurses. The trained nurse of the
10Th century will have science, but also
character as we'll. Unspeakable are
the opportunities for the scientifically
trained nurse. She sees that life is
something more than body: it is soul
as well.
The people of Walla Walla ought
to be glad that they have in their
midst an institution where nurses can
be thoroughly trained and sent out"
