WANT REGISTRATION.
Nurses of State Working Hard for An
 Organization.

Bridgeport. Dec 2.-The nurses Of Connecticut are working hard to SC. cure registration for all graduate nurses i'll the state. If success is the reward for keeping everlastingly at it, their efforts must be successful.
 Close on the heels of the meeting held in Bridgeport last September, fol- lowed another in New Haven last month. The actual participants in these meetings have drafted d bill which is to secure registration for all graduate nurses in Connecticut. This bill will be in readiness to go before the legislature this winter. Every member Of the Graduate Nurses State association sincerely believes this bill will pass the house and secure the gov ernor's signature, and thus registration for nurses will become law i'll this state. The states of New York, New Jersey North Carolina, Virginia, Mary land and the District of Columbia have secured registration for nurses.
 In this movement. which is agitating the nursing world, there IS a wide dir. ference from the registration obtained by trades, who have sought protection by legislation, The graduate nurses do not ask to deprive the public of it's right to make a free choice by com polling them to employ registered nurses only. It will not apply to gra- tuitous nursing of the sick by friends or members of the family, nor to the acts of any person nursing the sick for wages who does not assume to be a registered nurse. It simply asks the state to give the graduate nurse her recognition. and true standing, which she has secured by years of hard work and conscientious study. It win prevent the interruptions from impos- ing on the public as trained nurse when they are only partially trained, and have been dropped from the hos- pital flor cause' while taking their training to become nurse.
 The public will also be in position to distinguish between the nurse who has taken five or six months course i'll theory of nursing and then imposes on the public as "trained nurse," this for the simple reason that at the end of five or six months they have re, celved a diploma or certificate, as the case may be, from one of these get-a- training ng-in-nursing-quic concerns.
 Tn the future the public will Fbe in A position to distinguish between the im- itation trained nurse and the genuine trained nurse. The one spending two or three hours each evening, for five or six months, or less, in reading a text book or nursing, and on the other hand the genuine trained nurse who has spent two or three years in hard work each day, securing actual expert ence and also q finished course of lec- lures and instruction iii every minute branch of nursing extending over q period of two or three oyearss This act simply asks that thesgendine trained graduate nurse is given her true stand ing and protects the public from fraud, in the care of its i'll, loved ones.

Admiral George Appreciated.

What a grand reception Admiral

Trade last week." remarked the
Cheerful Liar. "Why / heard the
applause as 1 was crossing the
street down by Turner'S store. I
do not know of anyone who can
draw the crowd and receive the
same applause as can Beokley and |
sometimes wonder il the people of
Honolulu really appreciate the
man. Here in Hilo he is of the
town a part and it would be hard to
keep house without the, feeling that
the Admiral would be along some
time Wednesday. Aud he does not
swell up with the deferenue shown
him by the masses; he is the same
old George that he was when a
deck hand on whaler chasing
whalebone in;the Arctic. A differ.
sncs in conditions makes no change
ii George and you will notice that
he treats a deck passenger with as
muchi consideration as he does one
who by 6ourtesy is given the room
OF tha captain."

the Knocker, "apd wondered why
it was. Men who acquire the wealth
