PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL
 FOR NURSES
Disapproved by Pennsylvania Offic- ials, Red Cross Society, and
 Others.

Editor Farmer Sir:
 The newspapers of the smaller towns throughout the country are frequently solicited to insert reading advertise
 ments for the Philadelphia School for
 Nurses, located at 2219 Chestnut St.,
 Philadelphia, and as it poses as a
 benef1cient and charitable institution
 these advertisements are inserted free
 of charge.
 The Visitor of the Pennsylvania State Board of Charities in a report
 states: Nothing to be seen worth re-
 porting. No indicator of lessons or instruction. Your visitor cannot com
 mend this institution" and in a let ter says: This last places this insti- tuition under the head of those we condemn absolutely in our printed report.''
 It is advisable that the public should know that the young women who enter this school as pupils are sent out after having had the most meagre instruction from incompetent instructors, to nurse in private fam flies: flies for money, eighty per cent. of which is returned to the school treas- ury. They receive no bedside instruc- tion nor are they under the direction of skilled and competent teachers. The Chief of the Bureau of Health in his report to the Director of Health dLlu OudTltieS UT tHo ClLy or 6uld~ delphia says: 'I feel that it is an imposition on the public to allow this class of nurses to practice their pro fession,- as the following circum stances connected with these cases of typhoid fever prove conclusively to my mind that these nurses are not properly trained to be intrusted with the noble work of nursing the sick" The graduates of this school are not l accepted by the American National Red Cross society, nor the Nursing corps of the Army and Navy, they are not admitted to the Directory for Nurses connected with the College of Physicians, Philadelphia, nor are they recognized by the Pennsylvania State Board of Examiners for Registration of Nurses. I have given you this information for the reason that poor and anbt- tious young women, attracted by the advantages set forth in the free ad- vertisements inserted in the newspa. pers all over the country, with great effort to travel long distances to att tend this school. in the hope of be: coming trained nurses. only to find after enterting that they are giving their time and work to an institution which does not educate and equip them for the profession of nursing. In the interest of these young wom- en of your locality I would ask that you give this statement as much pub> licity as possible.
 Respectfully yours,
 WILLIAM S. HIGBEE, M. D. President of the Pennsylvania State Board of Examiners for Registra- ton Of Nurses.

and a dozen over 600 pounds, there

ducing less than "a pounds OF nearer
100.
Nov what does 100-pound but
ter fat COW do for you? Her butter
fat is worth $50; her calf, skim milk
and manure are likely to pay for barn
room and the work of feeding her;
maybe you can raise the feed on high
priced Iowa land for 500, but you can't
feed COW as she should be fed on
that much; that leaves 81 to pay for
the work of milking twice day and
at least 700 times year
Iowa farmers, many of them, COM
plain about the trouble they have in
making anything on high-priced land,
yet they will milk 700 times a year
for dollar. They must love the ex-
ercise!
Contrast this 1O0-pound COW with
400-pound COW, which will produce
butter fat worth $120 a year. 1t may
cost $50 to fed her, but even then she

COW like that and make as much mon
ey in year as by milking 60 COWS of
the other kind"
There is no other branch of agricul-
ture that offers such chance for devel.
opment and money making, declared
Secretary Van Pelt. He pointed the
way to improvement to be, first, by
the selection of good sires. with q
long line of good mothers behind
them, and then intelligent care.

smooth, even surface. Cut square
of white cloth, sheeting, set it or tack
it to the inside of the box and mark
it off into squares 21a inches each
way, something like a checker board.
Number the squares, 1, 2, 3, etc., and
then put the cloth into the box on
top of the saWdust and tack it there.
Lay out the ears of corn to be tested
as shown in the accompanying illus
tration, and give each number. Take
six kernels from ear No. 1, one each
from butt, middle and tip on two OPP
posite sides, and lay them at end of
the ear; do this with each of the re-
naming ears, being careful that the
kernels do not get mixed. This done,
put the kernels from Ear No. l in
Square No. / in the testing box, and
so on until the box squares are filled.
Lay over the kernels square OF tight
cloth and moisten it thoroughly by
sprinkling water over it. On top of
this put third cloth large enough to
hang over the edges of the box all
around and then fill the box above it
deep and pack it thoroughly treading
carefully with the feet. Fold the edges
of this cloth over the sawdust to
prevent drying out The box is then
ready to set away until the kernels
have sprouted, which will be in about
eight days When removing the COW
ering cloths. do it carefully so as not
to disarrange the kernels.
That sort of tester will answer
every purpose and give the corn grow
er a good check on his SEED.
