WILL TRAIN NURSES
Regularly Incorporated Training
School to be Opened at the
kenosha Hospital
DOCTORS TO AID l"-"E roRK

/ The Kenosha Hospital is to have a
training school for nurses in connec-
| ton with the other work and arrange
ments are now being completed by
which it is expected that the training
school will be opened the first of next
month.
Recently the directors of the hospi-
tai met with committee appointed
| by the Kenosha&county medical asso-
citation ard at this meeting the ar
Engagements. for the opening Of the
school were completed. It is a plan
to offer.a.a three years course for
nurses and leading physicians of the
city will be members of the faculty.
The school will be incorporated under
the laws of the state and diplomas will
be granted to all nurses regularly
graduated from the institution.
Mrs. Armstrong, who is now super
intendent Of the hospital, has been
the leading spirit in the sformation of
the plans andSwi1l Of course be the
superintendent Of the proposed. school
For some time the hospital has felt
the need of competent nurses and the
expense of employing graduate nurses
has been SO agreat that thesshospita1
has not been on az self sustaining
basis. Manysyoung women in Keno
sha are anxious to attend training
schools for nurses and no better train
ing could be secured than in the Ke-
nosha hospital.
Of course the number of students
will have to be limited on account of
the size of the institution, but it will
be possible for the school to accept at
least dozen students 1t is the pur-
pose of the school to turn out nurses
enough to meet FALL the demands of
Kenoshaepeople. AT the present time
nurses are imported from Chicago
and Milwaukee and often it is impos-
sible for the sphysicians to secure
nurses for cases. More detailed an
nouncement of the plans for the train
ing school will be made public within
a few days.

THE wires are hot with rumors of
disastrous earthquakes in many of the
California towns but people who have
friends on the coast should wait for a
veri6cation of any report before be-
coming alarmed for their safety.
The reports are due to the excitement
and the strain under which the tele-
graph operators are now 1aboring as a
result of the big quake az San Fran
cisco and in their present frame of
mind they are prone to magnify small
disturbances that would hardly have
been noticed month ago. The re-
port that became current yesterday
that Los Angeles had suffered big
shock came from slight tremor,
nothing more severe than the city has
had at intervals for years.

How can the city be kept clean if
every loaded wagon that passes along
the streets is allowed to dribb1e part
of its contents every step the horses
take? The city wagons are among
the worse offenders in this particular,
too. If the police department would
cooperate with the street commits
sioners to the extent of enforcing the
city ordinances against this class Of
Offenders the improvement in the ap-
pearance of the streets would soon be
noticeable.

Kansas City Motor Company
Seeking q Location Here is
Given a Good Standing
GOOD MEN BACKING THEM
Company Has First-Class Credit, and
the Men Behind it are Rated as
Worth Many Thousands of
Dol1ars-Is Good Firm

Business men in Kenosha, who
have been taking an interest IN the
location of the plant of the Kansas
City Motor Car company, north of the
city, have been investigating the
rating Of the company behind the
proposed plant, and the results of
this investigation have been Of a
satisfactory nature. The company
is not an old company, but the men
behind it seem to be pretty well
established in the business world.
The company was organized less
than a year ago and incorporated
under the laws of the state of
Missouri. It has a paid up capital
stock of $50, 900 and the remainder of
the stock of $50, 900 is represented by
the plant and machinery owned by
the company. This big plant is
located at Sheffield, Mo-, and the
company owns tract of thirty acres
of land which is valued for COM
mercial rating at $4,000. The com
pany is rated as having a credit Of
500, 900 net.
Frank E. Wear, who is the presi-
dent of the company is one of the
wea1thiest men in Kansas City, and
for many years he was the owner of
one of the large coal companies in
that city. He is interested in various
cor porations in Kansas City, and is
given rating of $500, 900 net. ]. e.
Caps and r. Caps, other officers of the
company are we'll known in Kansas
City, and are rated as first class BUSH
ness men. George K. Wheeler, the
general manager of the company,
who is to take charge of the plant in
Kenosha was formerly the manager
Of the Pincher Gas company in Kansas
City. He is young mar of energy
and push and is we'll rated IN the
business world of Kansas City.
The company has already built a
large number of cars and it has a large
stock of raw materials on hand. The
machinery and fixtures of the plant
are rated as worth fully as much as
claimed In the statement made by the
managers for commercial rating. It
is claimed that the company has
several large contracts for motor
wagons and that these contracts are
sufficient ito secure the success of the
! factory for several years at least. The
men connected with the company all
stand high in their home community
and they have reputation for
promptness in meeting all accounts
/ a paiuSf the cOr1DanV
Commercial agencies give the COM
pany high rating and there is little
doubt but that the firm is an entirely
responsible one. The matter of Sc
curing the plant for Kenosha is being
generally discussed among the BUSH
ness men and it seems to be favorab1y
received. Thus far the company has
not asked for any pledges, but it is
understood that the regular snbscrip-
ton and stock books will be opened
sometime next week.

TITS d most difficult matter for the
police to deal with the gangs Of
hoodlums who make it a practice to
insult unprotected women and
children whom they happen to meet
in the streets after dark. 1t is we'll
nigh impossible to persuade the
victims to appear against their in
suffers in the courts, and this leaves
the police practically powerless to
punish them as they deserve. The
husbands and fathers may have to
take hand in the suppressing of these
nuisances and then some Of them are
liable to be retired from active life
for some time if not permanently.

What Modern Girls head.


An EnglishWoman who writes with
knowledge Of the girls schools OF her
country gives In recent review the
results of an inquiry she personally
made of the books girls OF the upper
class read nowadays The writer Ques-
toned 200 girls as to their favorite
novelists and poets. All answered her
without reserve, and the majority ac-
knowIedged that they preferred the
novels of Marie Corelli, Anthony Hope
and Edna Lyall to all others. Few
had heard Of Louisa Alcott, an Ameri-
can author much read by EngIishwo-
ment Of the last generation, and George
Eliot Jared little better. Thackeray,
Scott, Dickens Kingsley and Jane
Austen were also little known.
AS rule the girls interviewed de-
clared that the classics seemed to them
insipid, fact that creates no surprise
when It Is known that these critics had
a habit Of reading the cheap and In
ferior magazines Astounding in Eng
land. Sixty Of the 200 girls confessed
to making I've of the more trashy and
sensational magazines their regular In
tellectual fare. This question is by no
means local one, and American par
ents and educators may find in this
report some suggestions. The writer
thinks that literature should be made
fascinating in the school and In the
home. Parents should begin early and
forestall the advent Of trashy publica-
tons by placing good books In the
hands Of the young and also reading
from them aloud three or four times a
week. The best literature needs a
guide or champion to point out It's
charms to the uninitiated, but once the
novice has drunk Of the spring he will
drink deep or classic literature Is not
for him.

Home Rule In South Africa.


England's new cabinet had to back
down ON the proposition to interfere in
the local government OF the colony Of
Natal The Natal government found
some natives guilty OF murder and was
about to execute them when the au-
thorites In London ordered a reprieve.
On second thought Natal was told to
act Its own will.
This Natal incident Is highly slgnih-
cant Of the growing resttveness OF the
South African colonials under imperial
restraint They resent being treated
as a group Of ignorant and irresponsi-
BILE settlers by a handful of London
politicians, who simply make capital
out OF conditions In the colonies. This
matter Of hanging the murderous ma
tives was one Of self preservation for
the whites, and they naturally insisted
that being on the ground, they were
the proper Judges. -asr s

If you have any pity to waste over
the far reaching effect of the recent
decision of the Supreme Court on the
divorce law, give it to the poor little
children who are in no way to blame,
but who must inevitably suffer most
from its effects. 1t may be that some
thing of the kind is timely to focus
public attention to the need for uni
form divorce laws in all states. The
decision may be good law, but it is
too severe to be received with popular
favor, because it bears hardest on the
most innocent.

New President Of Board Of Edu.
cation Urges Better Business
Methods in Work Of Board
NEW STANDING COMMITTEES
Old Men Are Placed in Charge Of the
Leading Committees of the Board
No Business of Importance
at the First Meeting

I
| dent of the board of education, took
up the reins Of his office at the meet
/ ing of the board held at the Office Of
Superintendent Zimmers Wednesday
night, and in taking up theswork he
spoke informally to the board Of his
views on what should be done by the
board during the year. Mr.. Craney
did not have anything to say in regard
to the building Of new school build
ings, but he stated that it should be
the first business of the board to get
transactions of the body on business
basis. He spoke of the fact that IN
former years the business of the
school board had not been in keeping
with strict business principles, and
he urged that with the starting of the
work Of the new board, everything be
reduced to business system, and that
the system should be rigidly adhered
to. He spoke of the fact that the
board of education was no place for
politics, and stated that in making
out his list of committees he had att
tempted to present the best men, re-
gardless of their political affiliations.
This spirit Of non-partisan control Of
the board was the keynote Of the short
inaugural address of the president.
The address was we'll received and
it is counted on to bring new har-
mony to the board. For the past year,
while the board has been largely
under Republican control, this spirit
of partisanship has been EN-
phasized, and no political feeling has
been aroused among the members.
The results have been apparent in the
harmonious action of the board+on all
great questions affecting the city
schools.
The fol1owing-is the list of standing
committees presented to the board by
President Craney:
Supplies--W. ]. Threinen, J. E.

There was little business transacted
at the Injecting of the board as time
was given to allow the committees to
organize and get down to work. The
architect was allowed $500 in payment
for his plans for the new Fifth ward
school but the matter of the contract
for the building was not brought up.
1t is probable that this will be brought
up at the next meeting.
AS Arbor day will come before the
next meeting Of the hoard the com
mittee on buildings and grounds was
authorized to purchase trees to be
planted on the grounds Of the differ
ent schools.

There was quiet little wedding in
