WOMAN's GREAT WORK.


New York World.
BY the will of Walter e. Duryea, the
trained nurse who attended him dur
ing his II years of helpless invalidism
receives legacies to the amount of
100000 What woman lawyer or doc
tor or architect. or woman pursuing
any of the callings of the advanced
sisterhood, has ever earned anything
like this sum at her profession?
1t has remained for a woman OF the
"ministering angel" type, one follow
ing the Oldest of feminine vocations, to
outdo all of her sex in financial re-
ward. Money, of course, is not for a
moment to be set off against principles
and ideals Yet when comparisons are
made on higher grounds it must be re-
called that the most honored English
woman Of recent times was not PRO
gressive" but a nurse, Florence Night
ingale."
The argument is one which any COM
petent women's club can demolish at a
sitting as reactionary and obsolete.
Yet the incident of this expression of
masculine gratitude TO a nurse will af-
ford satisfaction as an Illustration of
the esteem In which humble feminine
occupation is held at a time of femi-
nine aspiration toward higher things.
II is only mans tribute after all, but
IL is good to have as a variant from
suffragist parades and militant de-
ponstrations in behalf Of equal rights.
