intellectual Problem.

Another problem of the university was
the intellectual problem. This was so COM
plicated that the speaker could only sug-
ges. what it was. The curriculum of the
modern college was a great deal different
from what 1t was a few years ago. The
elective system had been steadily LIBERAL
lied with view to enabling students to
enter life equipped With the best possible
means Of graphing with Its manifold
problems. There had been tendency to-
ward specialization ir university study.
and necessarily so, In order 20 meet the
demands OF mS dern conditions.
The speaker was heartily in favor of
the elective system, but he recognized that
1t has its peril TO illustrate what this
peril is. he quoted the remarks OF the late
William Preston Johnston. president Of
Tulane university, namely. that the elect
i've system was like sending sick boy

perhaps the most important was the
moral problem. BY This wal not meant
exclusively the morals OF the Individual
students but rather the standard that
ruled the whole life of the university.
The moral tone or moral atmosphere of a
university community depended, however,
primarily on that of the STUDENT body,
and this. In turn, was d~termineI in large
measure, by the influence exerte1 upon
the student body by members OF the uni
versity's various faculties. University
bred men should c r,y be mads to under

responsibilities and duties rather than
grants privileges. The college graduate

sponsibilities He Should comprehend that

The last session of the Nurses Associated
Alumnae of the United States began this
morning in the university hall of George
Washington University at 10 o'clock. The
meeting was presided over by Miss Mary
NJ. Riddle of Newton Hospital, Newton

The first business before the meeting
consisted of reports of the committees
which showed the work of the affiliated So
cietes of the states in the effort to have
their respective states pass laws to make
It necessary to educate nurses properly.
Certain states have passed such laws, in
GLIDING Maryland, Virginia, New York and
North Carolina, and the committees from
other states reported that in their sections
they had received many assurances that
their efforts to have their state legislatures
pass the law so that the nursing profession
may receive the proper protection would
meet with success.
After the reports had been read and dis
cussed the reading of the papers which
were upon the program for the morning
was begun.
.Clubhouses, Hostelr.es and Directories
for Nurses was the first paper. and was
read by Miss Martha NJ. Russell of the
Sloan Maternity Hospital of New York
city Three papers were then read upon
The Opportunity of the Nurse in Private
Duty" by Misses NJ. f. Fredericks of the
New York training school alumnae. Lucy
Newman of the Presbyterian training
school alumnae, and Annie Rhodes of the
Belleview training school Glumnae.
Army Nursing the subject of the
next paper, by Miss Sophie Wilson of San
Francisco. The Logical Outcome of the
Foundation of State Societies was then
read by Miss Annie Damer of New York
city, and was followed by one on 'The
Examining Boards of Nurses and Their
Powers" by Miss NJ E Cameron of New
York city.
The nominating committee will make its
nominations for the officers for next year
later in the afternoon.

MAY LOCK OUT DRIVERS.
Possibility of Tieup of Chicago Liv'
cry Business.

Chicago, May 17.-Possibility of a
tieup of all livery business in Chicago,
including funerals, grew more definite
at a meeting of President Shea of the
Teamsters' union, w. j. Gibbons, busi-
ness agent VI the CAP anu Livery
Wagon Drivers union, and representa-
tiyes of the LiveryTnens and Under
takers association. Frank Amberg, a
prominent livery owner, left before
the other members, declaring that he
for one was not going to allow dicta-
ton as to where his drivers should
carry passengers and that he would
disregard the rule of the unions that
no carriages should be allowed to un-
load passengers at boycotted stores.
Other members of the liverymen's
committee remained in conference
with Shea and Gibbons for some time
In the hope of avoiding a lockout or
spread of the drivers strike The en-
ploying liverymen vainly endeavored
to get President Shea and his fellow
unionists to permit the delivery OF
passengers at the boycotted stores.
The labor leaders fatty refused to de-
viate from the stand taken against
such deliveries. Committeeman AM
berg of the employers declared after
leaving the meeting that he would call
session OF the Employers associa-
tion and insist upon its members doing
business with the boycotted houses,
even il it was necessary to lock out all
employees to do so.
Mayor Dunno has served notice upon
the strike leaders that a spread of the
strike would probably mean the call
ing out of the militia. The mayor
talked plainly of the possibilities of the
police being unable to preserve peace
in case anything approaching gen.
eral strike occurred, accompanied as
1t probably would be by a renewal OF
violence and rioting on larger scale.

Chicago, May 17-Mayor Dunno
had talk with the leaders of the team
sters and told them if the strike spread
ne would order out the militia, as the
police could not preserve order
The liverymen and cab companies
also had a conference with the mayor,
the strike leaders having refused to
order cab drivers to deliver their pas
sengers at the boycotted stores. The
mayor said he would revoke the Ii.
cense of any cab driver who disobeyed
the city ordinance which requires the
taking of passengers to their destina-
ton.
More school children struck" on ac-
count of the delivery of coal by non
union drivers. The board of educa-
tion will enforce the compulsory school
law and arrest the parents, who in
some cases at least are believed to be
responsible for the action of their chill
dren and will send their truants to the
juvenile court.
An additional number of strike
breakers were brought into the city
during the day, but some of them de-
serted because they did not know a
strike was in progress here.
Deliveries were made with COM
paratively little interference, though
there were more riots and several non
union drivers were assaulted and in

NO FAvoRs SHOWN AMERICANS
Contracts for Canal Supplies Will Go
to Lowest Bidders.

Washington, May IL. President
Roosevelt is determined that in buying
materials for the construction of the
Panama canal the government shall
not be placed at the mercy of the coun-
try's industrial trusts. The canal COM
mission will buy its materials where 1t
can get them the cheapest. The de-
cision was made nominally by the ex-
ecutive committee of the isthmian ca
nal commission, but as 1T was rendered
after a conference with the president
the determination is evidently his.
The commission needs two cargo
carrying ships of about 5000 tons dis
placement. 1t can buy them from
British shipbuilders and have imme-
date delivery of them for $75O,O0O. 1t
can get them from American shipbuild-
ers in eighteen months at cost OF
81, 100000. 1t was put up to Roosevelt
and as result the contract will be
made with foreign shipbuilders for the
two ships as soon as possible.
