Editor THE BEE: I wonder ii any
learn about the 'Trained Christian
Helpers?" They are band of earnest
Christian women who agree to give
their services to the sick poor of
Brooklyn. This little band has been
in existence for about nine years and
has made itself invaluable; the trouble
is we have not enough of them to.meet
the calls and give as much aid as need
ed. Perhaps there may be among your
readers some whose home ties are not
pressing and they would like to do
some good work in the world. They
need not incarcerate themselves and
shut themselves away from their
friends but just give themselves up for
as long as they can to do as much good
as they can to sick and suffering hu-
manity. In exchange they are given
q quiet, comfortable home and instruc-
tiOn in the care of the sick, by doctors
and experienced nurses, by lectures
daily, and practical instruction at the
bedside of the sufferers. The course
covers from two to three years, at the
expiration of which, upon the applt-
can't passing satisfactory eXamina-
tiOn, she is given certificate OF eff.
cheney and then she can nurse, ii she
feels she can't give more time among
those whose circumstances will not
permit of the professional trained
nurse. Should this letter meet with
your approval shall be very glad to
furnish information, facts and address
OF the proper persons for full particu-
lars. S1ncere1y,-[Mrs Rawlins, Step
ney, Conn.

Probably no man in the country so
we'll qualified to discuss authOritattve e.
ly the attitude of young men to-day
toward farming as a profession as L.
n. Bailey, Director of Cornell Univer-
sity Agricultural College. Prof Bal
ley's presentation in the July Century
of the reasons many intelligent men
urge against farming as a life work
has excited wide discussion. In the
August Century he will give the rea-
sons which are leading young Ameri-
cans to-day to follow farming. He has
summarized for this second article the
replies sent him by sixty-eight city
bred or town-bred students Of Cornell
University who intend to pursue farm
ing-farming considered in its broad
sense-as business. The replies con-
sidered by Prof Bailey in the forth
coming articles are marked, he says,
by the prominence given to ideals and
by the subOrdinatiOn of mere personal
emolument and desire for money. This
authoritative presentation of facts,
especially in connection with Prof
Bailey's discussion of "Why Do the
Boys Leave the Farm" cannot fail to
be of great suggestive interest and
value.
