Educating Nurses. Free Scholar
ships Available

Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly
Love, has an exhibition of practical
benevolence In the work of the Phila-
delphia School for Nurses which is of
SURPRISING interest TO every one inter-
eeted In the care of the sick, the educa-
ton of nurses and the promotion of
public health and sanitation.
The annual report showed that dur
ing the past year, ten Thousand, TWO
hundred and seventy-five patients were
supplied with nurses, who otherwise
could not have secured skilled nursing
care. Four-fifths of this service was
rendered gratnitously. 1t was shown
also that IN teaching facilities, avail
able workers and number of students,
the School ranks as the largest school
for nurses in the world.
Clara Barton, the world renowned
nurse and manager of field hospital
work, and organizer of the Red Cross
Society, having for many years observ-
ed the efficient work of the Philadel-
phia School for Nurses, recently invit-
ed DIR. Eugene Underhill, founder of
the institution, to visit her and be pres
emf at a conference in her summer
home In Oxford, Mass, for the purpose
of considering the ad visibility of repro
ducing the work in the larger New
England cities.
At a public reception, representatives
from Lowell, Salem, Worcester,
Springfield, New Haven, Bridgeport,
Providence and other manufacturing
c%enters, called attention to the need of
this service for their respective cities.
Several large classes of students are
about to be enrolled in the Philadelphia
School for Nurses, who will, doubtless,
witness the development of the work
of the School and its extension in ac-
cordance with plans now developing
as a result of the recent New England
conferences. A large number of free
Two Year Scholarships are available TO
young women throughout the entire
country, preference being given to
those living In the smaller towns aud
cities, and the rural districts. These
scholarships include room, board,
laundering, uniforms, all necessary in
stuctIon, and railroad fare paid to the
students home town upon completion
of the Course. A preparatory Home
Study Course and a Short Resident
Course are also available to those who
desire to quickly prepare themselves
for self-support, but who are unable to
devote two years to study. Any reader
of this paper who may be interested in
the general subject can, by addressing

i" HERE is nothing novel In the
idea of a presidential tour. 1t
has been q feature of the Office
since the foundation of the re-
public. The first and the greatest of
Mr.. Taft's predecessors was the man
who set the fashion for presidential
tours. Soon after the close of the first
session of the First congress, or on
Oct. Is, 1879, Washington started from
New York. which was the %country's
seat Of government at the beginning of
his term, and rode up through Connec-
tieut into Massachusetts and New
Hampshire, steering clear of Rhode Is
land on his tour, as that state had not
yet ratified the constitution and conse-
quently was not yet part of the coun-
try over which he presided. He was
back In New York on Nov. 10, return
ing by a different route. In the alb
sence of railways, steamboats, or even
good roads his trip of four weeks was
attended by some labor. 1t was made
In his carriage and. while he proceeded
by easy stages. the rough roads and
lu0 uleaKer at some
of the inns at which he stopped gave
the trip discomforts which are I'M
known to the ordinary traveller of to-
day. 1t Is scarcely necessary to say
that wherever he appeared Washing
ton received a welcome which was
noted for Its fervor and universally.
In a particularly emphatic degree
Washington was the president of the
whole people.
Some Stay at Homes.
Adams, Jefferson and Madison kept
aloof from the people. except as re-
CARDS those at the seat Of government
and at their own homes. Each Of them,
but particularly Jefferson, made visits
to his home while In the service. but
none of them made tours or mingled
promiscuously with the people OF the
various sections. Monroe, however, at
the beginning of his first term, made n
swing round a far wider circle than
that which Washington t~raversed. AMI

TAX FERgETS GIVEN
ANOTHER BLACK EYE
Supreme Court Grants Injunc-
tons in Cases Appealed
From Logan County

The supreme court In a unanimous
opinion in the Logan county tax ferret
case, styled Felix Adler ct ak. VS..
County Treasurer Riitefbusch and
Sheriff Mahoney, and six other eases
granted the iniunctions which were de-
MED by Judge Sandlin in the sGpeEi0
court TO restrain the Logan county
tex ferrets, Sheriff Mahoney and
Treasurer Ritterbusch from collecting
any OF the delinquent taxes listed by
the tax ferrets on property prior TO
statehood. This follows the decision
rendered recently By Justice Turner
IN the Oklahoma City tax ferret case,
In which the court held that the re-.
pealing act Of the second legislature
made null and void contracts entered
into By the various counties for the
collection Of delinquent taxes under
the tax ferret law as originally enact
ed
In the above cases the plaintiffs had
rendered In court the taxes listed up
IN property that had escaped taxa
don since statehood and their attor-
jeys stated this afternoon that the
kuits would be settled upon that
basis.
Local attorneys are Of tie opinion
that under the decision the ferrets in
the various counties would be compeli
ed to make new contracts with the
county commissioners before they can
proceed further in collecting taxes
listed since statehood Sentiment
has changed IN many localities, i Is
said, against the enforcement OF the
law, and IN some counties i Is al
legged. It will be bard for ferfets to
secure new contracts
There is nothing in either the deei
sinns handed down today or IN the
Oklahoma city case which throws ANY
+ light upon the question as to whether
those who have paid the tax upon
property for the period prior 70 state
hood have any recourse.
