ZULUS AS TRAINED NURSES
Practical Work for Humanity Being
Carried on by Missionaries
In Africa.

The American board maintains in
connection with Its hospital in Durham.
South Africa. a training department
for nurses. A class of four has just
graduated. Each girl received new
ly designed pin, and in connection with
her diploma Dr. James B. McCord, in
charge of the hospital. gives to each
check for sum amounting to FIVE
dollars a month for the time she was
In training.
The girls are to serve among their
own people, one being already en-
ployed at Inanda seminary, where her
chance teaching win be carried far
and wide.
We quote few sentences from the
graduating essay of one of these Zulu
nurses. It shows how little she knew
to start with, and also how thoroughly
the essentials have been drilled into
her mind. Miss NomhlatuEe Bhengu
said:
Our training as nurses has been a
great help to us in many ways. We
knew nothing about treatment of chill
dren in our own homes. Children are
given solid food when very young, and
they are not kept clean and warm.
and they are fed irregularly, and many
of our children die because they are
not we'll treated and given strong
medicine while still young. But here
have been taught that children
should not be given solid food during
the first ten months Of their life.
have been taught that babies should
nurse regularly at appointed intervals
should have a cleansing bath every
day and clean clothes put on each
day.
Here we have been taught to give
patients baths every day. II does not
matter how i'll they may be. . We
have also been taught how to keep the
patients so other people will not gel
the same disease. We keep the patient
by herself Tin tuberculosis), her rishei
and everything which we use abou
her near her bed and disinfect oul
hands whenever we touch her.
I'VE have learned to keep ou
bodies as they should be kept; sucl
as taking baths every day, brushing
our teeth and other necessary habits
which are necessary to keep us well.
And so the little composition rum
on, naively describing its writer's sur
prise at the surgery of the hospital
and naming some of the troubles
which seemed to her most common o.
most wonderful in their cure. "Whei
we leave here" she says, I'VE hope t
teach others of our race to care 70
themselves and to help their friend
in sickness and in health" And tina
missionary spirit is strong in all th
Zulus who have come in touch witt
the Durham hospital.

r s.m Laborers In Demand.

During the month of June, when the
huge wheat crops of Missouri and
Kansas were being garnered, farmers
Of these two states called on the Mis-
souri, free employment bureaus, To-
Gated in st. Louis. Kansas City arr:
st. Joseph, to furnish them with IT,
920 harvest hands. The call was met
by directly supplying 13.301 men, who
were paid from 81 to 81 a day. accord
ing to experience and the kind of work
done, while the harvest was on; tie
other 4,619 places being filed indirect
ly by applicants for employment as
harvest hands being requested to pro-
ceed to the places from which the
calls came. This is the information
that Commissioner John T. Fitzpat-
rick impar.a in bulletin.
1t is estimated as many more men
travelling acrors Missouri In search of
employment, brought to the state by
the call for harvest hands, were
grabbed up by farmers and put to
work before they had a chance to ap-
ply to the state free employment bu-
reaus for situations. There is no way
of securing definite information on the
size of this latter army.
Kansas City being in the center Of
the chief wheat areas of both states,
handled the bulk of the harvest hands
According to the figures, the re-
quests for help received by the three
offices totaled 1869 made and 80 fe-
male workers. There were put to
work 13,9G7 men and ZIG women.
The huge wheat crop OF Missouri
and Kansas brought about this condi-
tion. Thousands of men who had been
out of work for months we're given a
chance to earn, on an average, $3.50 a
day each, for period ranging from
| two weeks to a month.
Employers in st. Louis needing fe-
! male help do not use the state free
employment bureau there as much as
they ought to, especially since the
service Is gladly given free Of charge.
| Only SO calls for women workers
we're registered in June, and IL were
at once supplied.

Candidates Must stick II Out.


Candidates for nomination before
the coming state primary, who have
any intention of Withdrawing their
names, would be wise to do SO at
once. It is useless to apply to Secre-
tary of State Roach to obtain the
omission of a name from the ballot,
for the reason that he has certified
the form of the ballot and the names
of the candidates to the county
clerks.
In congressional district, for in
stance, in which there might be 10 or
IL counties, II would be necessary
for a candidate for the congressional
nomination, should he conclude he
has had sufficient of the game and
wants to quit, to communicate with
the county clerk of each county in
the district.
There does not appear to be any
very definite provision in the state
primary law for a candidate to get
out once that he has gotten in, but
in the old election law governing nom.
nations. or In that part of 1t not en-
tirely wiped out by repeal, implica
tion or otherwise, there is a method
provided. and It is under this that the
county clerks can omit the name of a
candidate desiring to withdraw, pro-
vided notice 10 received before the
ballots are printed.
