to formulate a plan for registration in
America and read the outline of her
plan before the New York Federation
of Womens clubs in 1899
Registration means first, improve
ment in the training schools; a hospi-
tai providing a limited experience or
having no definite course of theoretical
instruction, with only Indifferent teach
ing would not be eligible to registra-
ton. Better instruction, more uniform
training would result in an excellency
of work, eliminating from the profess
sion all inferior nurses. Another great
benefit is to be derived from the pro-
lection afforded the public Registra-
ton separates the wheat from the
chaff, stamping the worthy nurses as
sterling.
Opponents of registration claim that
only a small per cent of the nurses.
They forget that the only way this
law could injure the inferior nurse is
by comparison.
tionists is that when Kansas registers
her nurses none but graduated nurses
will be allowed to care for the sick. TfIe
proposed law. however. provides most
emphaticaIly that in no way shall it be
construed to interfere with anyone nurs-
ing either for hire, charity, or her own
family.
- How is registration going to help
me?' is q common question, but How
viii it help the profession?' is seldom
asked.
Registration will benefit and elevate
the whole profession and what benefits
the whole benefits the individual-to get
gold out we insult put gold in.
1t is only short time until our legfS-
lature meets, and during that session Our
bill will either become law or be ccn-
signed to the waste basket.

Emperor William is
Satisfied with Army
Maintained by Swiss

PARIS, Sept 11.-Rene Puaux, the
military expert of the Temps, who was
in close contact with the German em-
peror during the recent maneuvers of
the Swiss army, quotes the emperor as
summing up his satisfaction with the
work of the troops in, conversation
with Premier Forrer in the words;
Your army saves me six army corps,
II is known that the emperor's main
object In attending the maneuvers was
to convince himself of the ability of the
Swiss army to make the neutrality Of
that country respected in time of war
aud his remark is interpreted to mean
that the Swiss army forming a screen
to@prevent the French from invading
Germany through Switzerland, the Ger.
mans could release six army corps in
south Germany for service in Alsace-Lor-
raine or along the Belgian frontier.
The emperor In conversation constantly
insisted upon the necessity of under
standings as the best mesns of dissipat-
ing suspicion, and declared his personal
| desire to maintain peace On one oc-
caslon, In emphasizing this in conversa-
tion with President Ferrer, the emperor
intlmated to the president that he ac-
quired much Of his inspiration from the
Bible.
II don't care much for priests and
clergymen. said the emperor, ''Thay
dilute the gospel with too much Of their
own dogma hold the Bible which
constantly read and reread. In II. one
finds the solution OF every difficulty Of
every problem, even of political desi
crption."
