DR.. S. Weir Mitchell physician and
author, recently told graduating
class of nurses at the University hos
pital in Philadelphia that they were
entering the best paid occupation OF
women wage-earners." Then he added
1T is a startling fact that the limit
of the competent working years of the
trained nurse is from ten to fifteen
years, which simply indicates the
strain, the sacrifice and devotion OF
those who thus give themselves to the
combat against disease

Superintendent Cooley of the Chi
cago schools has submitted a plan
for the establishment of technical
high schools for girls in each section
of the city, in which the students will
be taught cooking, sewing and other
strictly "womanlyn occupations
"withouE the interference Of boys.
There is some opposition to Superin
tendent Cooley's plan, but he is of tbs
opinion that boys are in the way
when girls are doing girls work ant
that they should be separated wher
they come to study the occupations
In which they expect to make theil
living.

William E. Chandler, former senate

William E. Chandler, former senator
from New Hampshire, has come into
the limelight again by advocating a
new religious doctrine, namely, that
after we lay down our physical beings
on this earth our souls will go to
some of the stars, there to be rein
vested with new bodies and to have
the same conscious existence as here,
only to greater perfection. He said
in an interview that his faith in flu
ture life is stronger than ever, but
that it was only faith-that we are not
intended to have knowledge on the
subject.
