Speaking of the writing OF plays, Mr. Thomas re-
marked that he had never known American
dramatist to write above his audience" He in
timated that it was mistake to suppose that
American audiences were incapable OF grasp
ing the subtle points in representation In ad-
vising young dramatists he said:
Every dramatist has obligation TO write high

said The play in a measure reflects the man.
Because Of that. dramatists should aspire 10 high

CONSERVATIVES AS TRAINED NURSES.
Turn New Jersey tuberculosis Home Into a
Training School, Urges State Official
by Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Trenton y. J., Dec. 2o-Dr. George b. Wight.
Commissioner of Charities and Correction, believes
that the functions of the New Jersey Tubercu-
losis Sanatorlum at Glen Gardner will be best con-
served by using it training school for tubercu-
lar patients rather than sanatorium merely
In outlining his plan tonight Dr. Wight said:
The sanatOrium for tuberculosis at Glen Gardner
can accommodate only lG patients with incipient
cases. It is not these incipient that the
greatest menace to public health. would their
cure do much toward arrastng the disease. The
peril Is in the advanced cases of which there are
al least twelve Thousand in the state IL is up TO
the counties or municipalities and townships to pro-
vide proper sanatoria for the care OF these peo-
pie, and the state could assist with a certain sum
each week for each patient for maintenance.
IF these persons suffering with inclpient cases
were taught what 20 do for themselves i'm their
oiet. clothing and mode Of life they would become
invaluable as trained nurses for the care of ad-
vanced cases IN local hospitals or camps The state
or the local authorities could employ them as
trained nurses to care Tor others suffering with the
disease"
