THE UMBRELLA aJoKE,,

We are gratifed to learn that the

breila or Q purse.
and vet we are constrained to be-
lieve that some persons who are ordi.

PRISONS AND AIMS
HOUSES.

The Times.Dispatch has advocated
the creation Of a State board OF clari-
Ties, whose duty would be to visit the
prisons and almshouses OF the State
with view to improving their condi-
ton. A suggestion comes to US that
the same object could be better
and more economically accomplished
by g paid commissioner. The duty
OF the commissioner would be TO
visit each prison and almshouse
II the State at least twice a
year. make thorough investigation as
to conditions. and report to the Gov
ernor. and through him. II necessary. to
the Legislature! with recommendations.
il would also be his duty to report to
the Commissioner OF Highways the
number of men found In the iails At
Tor work on tho public roads. to visit
the convict camps and inspect them,
and to inform he Governor of any case
of peonage that he might by diligence
discover.
This plan seems to us. on the face OF
IT, to be more practicable than the
other. state boards are cumbersome
bodies. and are usually composed of
busy men who are unable TO give all
tue time that the duties of their office
require The members live In differ
snt sections OF the State. and frequent
meetings are !mpract.cabie. One &C.
fire man, paid TO devote his whole time
&c Intelligent inspection o. the prisons
spd aImshoussa. would accomplish,
much more In practical results than
cumbersome board Of men and wo-
men. and even IL the board should be
created. the services OF q travelling
tgen, would be necessary. 1t might be
we'll to have both the board and the
commissioner, but that would involve
additional expense. A commissioner
alone would certainly be far better
than no means at all OF inspection.
OF course the point will be raised
chat this is a scheme to create job
Cor some oiticcr-seeker. But that
would be dodestg the issue. The real
suestion is.Whsther or not 1T is in the
interest OF humanity and economy fer
Dur prisons and almshouses to be regu-
larry inspected by an agent OF the
state The Times-Dispatch has no
doubt whatsoever on that score. and we
believe that all who have given the
subject any attention are OF the same
mind The only question is as to the
most efficient and economical means,
We should like 10 have the views Of
those who have taken leading part in
proposing State board OF charities.

she was highly educated and well
aralihed to shine in the most brilliant
society: but In her early life she mani
tested an intense devotion to suffering
humanity. and turned her attention to
hos pltal work. She Inspected civil ana
military hospitals in all parts of Eu-
rope, and finally went into training as
Il nurse. During the Criinean War the
military hospitals We're overcrowdcd
with sick aud wounded soldiers, and
tile terrible rate Of mortality bore evil
dence Of their uusanitary condition.
1t was In this crisis that Florence
Nightingale resolved to bring about a
reform in the treatment of suffering
soldiers. She offered to go to the
front and organize II nursing depart
ment at Seutari, and her offer was
accepted By Lord Herbert. OF the war
Office. Within week she departed
with her corps of nurses, and little
later arrived at Constantinople in
time to receive the wounded from the
battle of 1nkernlann into wards already
occupied by 1900 patients.
Her heroic work in that dreadful
period won the heart of all England
and the admiration of the world.
She was herself Frustrated with fever,
but refused to leave her post, and after
her recovery remained at scutari until
Turkey was evacuated. Her health
was wrecked, and for years she has
been an invalid.
But 1t was not alone her work IN
the crlmea that has immortalized
Florence Nightingale. 1t is the fact
that one woman has revoiutionlzed the
entire system of treating the suffering
soldiers OF war.

MISS FLonExcE NIcHTrNGALB.

MISS FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.
Miss Nightingale, who IL now IN her
eighty-seventh year, is the first woman
to receive this distinction which, UP
to the present time has been bestowed
upon only nineteen men, each one Of
marked eninence. The order was
founded by King Edward In 1909 for
the recognition OF especially distin-
guished services in all walks OF life.
The art Of trained nursing by women
has practically grown within the life
time of Miss Nightingale. and partly
by the help and example Of her pre-
cepts. She did not go with the British
army to the Crinlsa In 1854. She
stayed at the great base hospital on the
heights OF stutari. opposite Constan.
tinople. Her knowledge OF nursing
she could hardly have acquired In
England ct that time. She had studied
with the Sisters OF St Vincent De Paul.
In Paris. who have an International
experience. and In Germany. To-day
such hospital as Miss Nightingale
aided would be primitive indeed: but
1t was a brave beginning, worthy OF
all honor.
