ton thus far conducted had con-
vinced him additional legislation is

IA state agency that will compel

of the state and the city ordinances.

Newland's Incident
Frank Newland. commissioner Of
water and lighting, was at one time a
member Of the fire department. In
response to a fire in North Topeka, he
drove a one horse fire wagon The
chief was on the back end. Mr.. New
land discovered his horse was unman-
ageable. The wagon struck a bump
which nearly hurled the chief high in
to slow down. but still the speed con-
tinued. Later he ordered him to stop
at a certain hydrant, but the horse
went right on by, following another
hre wagon which was ahead. and stop
ping only when the other team stopped.
AS soon as the fire was over Mr.. New
land was called ION the carpet"
why did you disObey my orders and
not slow down when told you to?''
demanded the chief.
IT could not stop the horse,'' was
Newland's reply.
why did you go on to the next
hydrant when I told you to stop at
h. Avcf oh infr
| ton.
Again Newland replied that he could
| not manage the horse.
You are a large, husky young man.
Mr.. Newland, why could you not stop
that horse?" demanded the chief.
Then Mr.. New1and explained that In
the hurry Of hitching up. someone had
neglected to place the bit in the horse
mouth. The horse had simply taken
his own gait and followed the othel
| team.

NURsE-TRAINING SCHOOLS.

More training schools for nurses and
better distribution of them are shown
to be necessary from statistics just
compiled by the United States bureau
Of education. There are 1904 nurse
training schools in tho United States,
and nearly so per cent Of these were
in the small area of the eastern ana
north central states. In all the rest
OF the country only 304 nurse-training
schools are reported.
Standards of nurse training have
been rising constantly. in keeping with
the growing Importance of the nursing
profession. Thirty-four of the states
and the District Of Columbia now have
laws prescribing examinations and
other tests for the ''registered nurse"
The states that have not yet legislated
on the subject are: Alabama, Ken
lucky, Maine, Mississippi. Nevada.
Arizona, New Mexico, North Dakota.
Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota
Tennessee, Utah and Vermont. Sew
eral of these states have organizations
actively working in behalf of adequate
safeguards for nursing. and 1t Is be-
lieved to be only a short time when all
the states will cover the subject OF
nurse training.
According to officials of the bureau,
training schools for nurses throughout
the country are steadily effecting I'M
provements in their work and condi-
tions. The professional field of nurs-
ing is widening and embracing new
and important activities. and offering
new incentives to effort. One OF the
notable developments in the last TWO
years, since the last complete report
on the subject has been issued. Is the
application of nurse service in ever
increasing extent to the public schools.
Public interest in hospitals ana
training schools is growing. ana an IN
telligent public opinion on nursing az
fairs. is gradually forming. The educa-
ton of nurses. long looked upon as
matter in which hospitals only were
concerned. is now beginning to be seen
as a matter in which the pubic also
| is deeply and necessarily concerned.

Because Harry Fawcett happened to
