most attractive field 70 the ambitious
woman who would win success and
make the most of life. 1t is REIN
ed occupation. 1t gives skill to the
hand and grace to heart. It is the
best paying occupation now open to
women, and presents an ever-widen-

for nurses is a worldwide call. 1t
is the one calling which. is not over
crowded.
The demand fos skilled nurses in
creases every year. Thousands of
young women have the natural
graces of the skilled nurse, but have
never had chance to cultivate them,
and so have been prevented from

SANG HIS WAY TO MOTHER

The following story appeared in
the st. Paul News one day last week:
A sweet voice won sweet freedom
for little lad in the juvenile court
in Minneapolis today. The lad was
Walter Cooper of Chicago, who. be-
cause Of his unusual vocal powers, had
been lured away from his home and
taken to Alaska by concert hall wo-
men. He had gotten asfar as Mimi
apolis on his way home when he was
picked up by the police. The boy
had been placed in charge of the po-
lice matron.
Today he was arraigned in chamb-
ers befoIe Judge John Day Smith,
where he told his story. In order to
test tue boys story as to his unusual
voice, Judge Smith asked him to
sing. The lad knew it was his trial
for sreedom. He threw his head
back and started a song. The notes
wayered at first, but confidence re-
turned as he sang.
The voice was surely soprano
of unusual strength and sweetness.
1t echoed through the dark corridors
of the big court house and soon quite
a crowd of appreciative listeners
gathered in front of Judge Smiths
door. When the song was finished
the boy had won his case.
"Have you mother?" asked the
judge. N
Tears streamed down the boy'sface
as he reached in his pocket and
handed the court a soiled telegram
blank on which was written mes
sage for his Chicago home.
'Dear mother: Will be home to-
morrow" In few minutes he was
on his way to a telegraph office to
spend his last quarter for the mes
sage. Supplied with new clothes by
new friends he left for Chicago on
train with the agreement that he
would pay for his passage by washing
dishes in the dining car.

COME WEST, YOUNG MAN,

s'To the pessimists Of the east who
fear for the future of our country
| say: Gross the Hudson river,
come out to the middle west and
and we will convert you into opti-
mists."
One of the grand old men of the
nation extends this invitation to the
carping, the cynical and the doubt
full of New York and New England,
the moulder of a hundred minds,
the idol of a hundred thousand stu
dents, James B. Angel, president of
the University of Michigan.
Il am an optimist,' he continued.
GAS Justice Brewer Of the United
States supreme court recently said,
| look forward with every hope and
confidence to the continued great
ness and improvement of this coun-
try. @
81 know that among many per-
sons in the east there is a spirit of
pessimism, brooding and gloom
mess over the outlook. Let all such
come out here and we will cure
them. We will show them broad
ening spirit of responsibility, high
err plain of ideals and a serious
endeaver to make things better.
Il know the temperament of New
England. | was born in Rhode
Island and educated there. / know
the inclination of the men of Boston
to look with misgiyings on what is
coming, and to doubt our democ
racy, our financial virtue and our
political morals.
"But out here in the middle west,
tho we have our bad spots and occa-
sional conditions not to be commend
ed, there is general pulling to-
gether toward higher and better
things in public and private life.
We have no fears, no gloom, no
forebodings about the future. We
look forward with confidence, for
our young men are setting out in
spired with the loftier ideals and
firmer principles than ever before. y
