patton. The most encouraging feat
ure presented in annual European
immigration reports is the increas-
ing measure Of professional and
skillful labor coming to us. It is just
such labor that the new world needs
and must have; if not native, then
foreign. For Americans want their
country developed. H.. ~.
Socially and financially, the two
all-determining measurements with
some people, the newcomer is not to
be compared with the American.
Foreigners are generally recognize
ed as aw-abiding, ready to pay their
debts, parents Of healthy and obed-
lent children, and good mechanics
and farmers. e..
Missionaries, with regret and deep
disgust, observe that Americans in
foreign lands live far below their
moral standard at home, particular
ly in harbor cities. The natives of
other lands accordingly form very
unfavorable opinion Of America and
Americans. But it is difficult for US
to believe our people as bad as they
are supposed to be by the natives
who do not know Americans in Am
erica, as Americans do not know Eu-
ropeans in Europe. Americans do
not know the Firms in Finland nor
the Slovaks in their homeland, and
hence they misjudge the foreigner.
Literature on the subject of Ameri-
can morals abroad overstates the dark
side or fails to present the other side.
It carries the idea that our American
civilization is too weak to sustain
these backsliders. In like manner
the literature on the foreigners in
America overstates their dark side,
the literature presenting their good
side as it is in the old and the new
home is unwritten. Hence they are
not known, but misjudged and their
culture and language placed on a
lower scale than they deserve. A
change is taking place and the for
eigner can afford to be patient and
wait.

The University School for Nurses.

Three years ago the University Of
Minnesota organized the first school
for nurses under direct University
control in this country or, indeed, in
any other country. The first class
has just completed the three years
course Of instruction.; and recep-
ton was given to the graduates at
Shevlin Hall early in March. Men,
bers of the faculty Of the College Of
Medicine and Surgery were present
and friends of the graduating class
were invited. The class pins, which
serve as the symbol Of graduation
from the University School for Nurs-
es, were conferred upon them by
Dean Wesbrook.
Although the period Of graduation
does not correspond with the Univer-
sity Commencement, it has been ar
ranged that diplomas will be confer
red upon graduates Of the School
when other degrees are given at the
commencement occasion in June,

REDUCE FIRE HAZARD
Waste Caused by Careless Handling
of Refuse Can be Materially Re-
duced with Care.

At this season Of the year, Nature
is about to put on her most beau
tiful garb. The people generally
realize the necessity Of putting their
premises in order. The figures fur
nished by fire statistics of 1911 en-
phatically indicate the necessity of
CLEANING UP. $4,000 would not
make good the fire loss in Minnesota
lin 1911 caused by carelessness in
connection with the annual cleanup
This cleaning should extend from
cellar to garnet, from house to out
buildings, alleys and yards. A flying
spark lodging, lighted match or a
live cigar or cigarette stub thrown
carelessly into rubbish in or outside
Of buildings has caused many disas-
trous fires. The chore boy may care
lessly throw match or cigar or
cigarette stub into the rubbish sur
rounding barns or in barns; the clerk
may throw either into the rubbish
of the basement Of business blocks
where paper, excelsior and other
packing materials are often allowed
to accumulate; the thoughtless pass
er-by may throw cigar or cigarette
stub through the grating in the side
walk into the dust and filth below.
Perhaps We cannot prevent the peo-
pie from carelessly throwing match
es or cigars, but we can prevent the
accumulation Of combustible and in
flammable materials, if We will.
In this cleaning up Of premises
the attic should not be forgotten. In
them dust and spider webs accumu-
late and all sorts Of infammable stuff
is stored away. Attics are too Of
ten without ventilation. Thus, when
the fierce summer sun beats down up
on the roof, the attic becomes a YER
liable furnace and spontaneous COM
bustion occurs in the rubbish, dust,
oily rags, highly vanished pieces
of furniture, etc.
Spring is the painting season and
a caution as to the handling and
storing Of rags used in wiping var
nished or oily surface or wlping paint
from painters hands is timely. The
only safe place for such greasy rags
is in the stove. If kept for any length
OF time to be used again, they should
be stored in a substantial, covered
iron receptacle.
Many fires are started each year
by the careless burning Of the rub
bish accumulated in yards and alleys
during the winter. The burning of
this rubbish is too often left to the
children, which annually not only
costs large number of lives or SER
ious injury, but result in the total
destruction Of many thousand doll
ars of property.
The people of Minnesota are be-
ginning to take an active interest
in the idea Of prevention of fire waste
and there is no greater opportunity
for them to do effective work along
this line than in thoroughly cleaning
their premises both inside and out
and the proper handling Of the re-
fuse accumulated therefrom.
City and Village authorities and
hOa rdc Of hoa1+h oro ,oruoe+oI ~
cooperate with the Minnesota State
Fire Marshal Department in reducing
the annual loss caused by the care
less handling Of refuse at this season
Of the year.
Again We say, "CLEAN UP"

The result of the Democratic con-
ycntion at Baltimore is highly graft
fying to all who are interested in
the success of Democratic principles.
/; is conceded on all hands that 4
strong ticket has been named, and
that the chances Of party success
lave been strengthened BY the action
of the convention. Expression from
the most prominent newspapers in
the country, as well as the shrcwd-
est and most influential public men
show that the standard bearers Of
Democracy have the respect and will
have the united support of all wings
OF the party, besides drawing many
votes from the progressive element
of the Republican party. The plat
form and the men are not only
merely unobjcctionable, but are such
as to awaken enthusiasm, and, un-
less there is a radical and unlocked.
for change in the situation, an over
whelming Democratic victory in No
