COMMENT
The School Nurse.
r. A TYREE.

Medical inspection of schools seems to have
opened new field for the trained nurse. Until
sos New York city relied upon postal cards sent
10 secure action in only six per cent Of the cases
where treatment recommended. I'm
med lately upon placing follow up sorvHce in
the hands of school nurses the percentage in
creased 10 81 The school nurse is rapidly be-
coming as necessary IS the school teacher. Her
opportunities for observation make her ideal
sanitary inspector. She notes temperatures,
ventilation seating, cleanliness Of rooms. toilets,
blackhoards and the clothes OF children
1t is a subject that has been discussed by Port
land school authorities and which ia very
likely to receive serious consideration before
hong. The number Of school nurses needed varies
somewhat according to social conditions and ac-
cording to the range of duties expected of hem.
In some cities all the way from 1000 to o 900
children under the of one nurse. In
New York city each nurse has from two to seven
schools with total attendance of about 4 600
children. In Philadelphia five schools and about
5000 children are usually allotted to one nurse
while In Boston the proportion of nurses is
almost twice a great X is not improta BILE that
the ratio will he increased until It reaches an
average of one nurse for each 1000 of the
school enrolment, If there were one nurse
for every 1000 pupils, about 0. 600 nurses would
he required in the entire United States. A nurses
room completely equipped is coming to be re-
garded OF the essentials in every school
building OF eight more rooms.--Portland Adj

street fires. Property has been destroyed as a
result
In addition to this. the boys OF the city have
long INDUCED the practice Of collecting Christ
mas wood Yards, stores. Easements and house
have been entered by boys, who have not hest
tated to appropriate whatever they could lay
hands on. They have several times made de
mands on residents for money as Immunity
tribute in order that they might not have to
contend with the youngsters.
There is no disposition whatever to interfere
with pleasures for the young at this season Of
the year They have a right to all the pleasure
which inures to youth 1t is right they should
have good" time, but this right should not
extend to such things as the silly and often
drunken parades and bonnres and collecting" of
Christmas wood for fires that has so long OBJ
talned all of which combined do not serve one
purpose in keeping with the occasion which is
supposed to be celebrated.

a CORRECTION.

Onr friend r. A. Tyree is mistaken. Neither
The TiFei4lta44 nor the aatsaloon forces of the
state have been driven up a stump by the de-
termination of the senate finance committee to
place a rider onto the enabling act In the hope
IF Is passage The members of the finance com
mittec, ii they take this step. Will place them
selves up a stump. MIR. Tyree is mistaken also
in his understanding of the reason why The
Virgintan opposes this proposed amendment and
why the dry forces ia the legislature will fight
against the passage of an enabling act carrying
It, II is not that they do not think prohibition
desirable even II taxes be increased thereby, nor
that they are willing to see the saloon win
rather than to pay the extra tax, but that they
do not believe the extra tax is necessary. More
over they do not care to go to the people with
the question complicated by such an amendment,
taking the chance of losing and thus iniuring
their cause. They prefer to defeat doctored
enabling act counting upon the people to retire
10 private life the men responsible for the doctor
ing and to return to the senate in 1916 an
overwhelming majority for an enabling act I'M
encumbored In that case they have no fear Of
the victory Of prohibition In peoples election.

Senator Root as a Sage.

It is easy for man in his sixty ninth year to
be Indifferent to the presidency When Senator
Root says he would not undertake the respon-
sihility IL 1t offered to him accept the
nomination If It were rendered to him. he I'M
oubtedly speaks what Is In his mind and heart.
Even Theodore Roosevelt at sixty nine is likely
20 be less keen in the pursuit of third term
that he has been during the last four years
American statesmen at Elihu Roots time of
life used to retire to their estates and become
gages. 1t Is field that has long been neglected:
yet sage might be quite useful to the country
a president.
Senator Root is abundanty qualified to be a
cage He is without political ambition. He is
'amiliar with great public affairs. He knows
law. history and philosophy. He is capable OF
thinking, and has not weakness for thinking
MT the top of his voice. He ought to make a
first rate sage, and even If he went wrong oc-
casionally. he did the currency bill, he
would still serve mental tonic to a country
that has been Systematically bedevlled for the
last twenty years with political, economic and
social imbecility-New York World.

Papal Guard to BE Italian.

ROME, Dec 25.--The NuovA
Giornale announces that the plan for
the reform of the Swiss Guard has
been decided upon.
The proposals put forward were
two: The Observation-Disclosures OF the
guard and the INFLAMMATION of the
corps According to the former plan
every Catholic country in Europe and
America would have furnished con-
tingent Of young men for the guard.
but the scheme was considered to bs
too complicated.
1t was. therefore, decided to carry
out the second scheme. by which tho
present Swiss Guards will be retained,
but all new members OF the corps
will be Italians. and In Ave years time
1t is expected that the guard will b
entirely Of Italian nationality. Ths
corps will in future be styled tina
Papal Guard.
