who will fill the places left by the wo-
men. Some occupations. no doubt, will
feel the effects of desertion. There is
one calling, however, which will ever
depend on the women to fill its ranks
that of nursing.
Every year stricter requirements are
made of the professional nurse. There
fore the period of training of a nurse
is made longer and the preparation
more complete But the rigid demands
do not lessen the increasing number
of applicants for training.
The University Training School for
Nurses here is never able to accept all
its applicants. Every school for nurses
puts its beginners on probation during
the first few months and may dismiss
them at any time.
The requisites of good nurse are
so many that it is nearly impossible to
name them," said Miss Frances ShOuse,
principal of the University Training
School for Nurses, recently. but
among the most important are dignity.
tact, good judgment. coOlness and the
ability to keep close mouth

more so. her work is very strenuous.

health To do this she must be regular

of the best methods of keeping well.
according to Miss Shouse. Often the
nurse does get sick but she doesn't
tell it by action or words if she can
possibly keep up her work. That is
part of a nurses training.

VIEWPOINTS
Outlines versus Examinations.

Why not have outlines, made BY tn.
students, of the texts and lectures
given, instead of giving final examina-
tions?
The student would learn far more
it would be more indicative of the real
knowledge of the student for it would
eliminate nervousness. headache and
this going all to pieces" over an ex-
animation, and eliminate "cramming;;" +"
eliminate the haunting fear of "F's'
that terrOrile the three preceding
weeks before the finals"
Ii would insure the thorough going
over of the subject and the lectures
and would save the professors weary
work of everlasting grading of ques-
tions: yea. those outlines might even
become pleasure to them for they
might be so neat, so concise-"as in
teresting as a short story
But, one student might write an out
line and loan it to others all along
the line who would merely revise it
bit. copy it and hand it in,
OF course no L. of NJ. students cheat,
would ever do such thing. but for
the sake of forestalling objections let
us grant that such a practice might
take place; then. let the examination
hours stand as they are and let the
students prepare the outlines i'm the
exam room instead of answering ques-
tions
Examinations may do good to some
students for some length of time, but
undoubtedly do harm to more students
in the same length, of time. Few stu
dents do themselves justice for there
is something paralysing in the mere
thOt of an examination.
They tell us exams. bring organized
results from our study-weak places

amount of work nearly every student

But outlining is pleasant work. Hav-

CONSTITUTIONAL REPAIRS.

The fundamental law of the Com
monwealth of Illinois, towit, the con-
stitution, has undergone a thorough
diagnosis by eminent constitutional
physicians. The result is that some
recommend a new constitution and
some want the old one amended All
think the document needs alteration
OF some kind.
W. Duff Piercy OF Mount Vernon
state senator and candidate for the
United States Senate, voiced the SEN
timent of modern thought when he said
that an old cloth should not be patched
with new goods, and he quoted Scrip
ture to prove it.
There are objections to a new con-
stitution as there are in every state.
The law which was good enough for
Lincoln and Jackson is good enough
for u.s." But those same patriotic
gentlemen would object strenuously to
wearing the shoes of their boyhood
No one would expect them to. but the
principle of the state constitution is
the same. Why should a new people,
a new commonwealth, with new in
stitutions, new problems, be bound
and hedged in by constitution which
is too small, inadequate and anti
quated.
II is true the American state gov
ernments are in a revolutionary stage.
1t is suggested by those Illinoisans
who favor amendment that we are
passing through a period of rapid
and uncertain governmental transit
ton; and that they should wait until
the notions of society on matters of
government become more settled be-
fore making the change These peO-
pie would wait in vain. The progress
which has entered the American people
will stay. If reforms are needed let
them come now. Constitutions will
be changed more frequently within the
next generation than they have in the
last six
Another favorite objection is that
the constitution should not be tamper-
ed with because in it are embodied
those fundamental principles of liberty
SO dear to Americans There need
be no fear concerning the bill of
rights. 1t will be copied bodily from
constitution to constitution just as it
is inherited from generation to gener-
alton.
Constitutions embody two elements,
the bill of rights and the frame work
of the governmental machinery. The
first lives on. The principles of lib
erty will always remain essentially
the same. There is nothing to fear.
then, in a new constitution for the first
element. The second wears out. 1t
cannot be expected that men will con-
tinue weaving cloth as their grand
mothers did. 1t cannot be expected

CONsTITUTIONALIST HEAD
QUARTERS, GOMEZ PALACIo,
MEXICO, March 2s.-Torreon prob
ably will fall before night. A des-
perate battle is being fought in the
streets Of the city. The Federals are
lighting braveIy to thrust back Villas
rebels. but the Constitutionalists are
slowly forcing their way into the
heart Of the town.
The bombardment which General
villa maintained all day Friday
ceased last night and the rebelycom-
mander gave the order for the at
tack. Crossing the Nazas River at
the head Of his troops. villa smashed
the Federal defenses to the north and
penetrated the town.
Battle RACES An Night,
The baftle ragged all night WERNER
side was able to use its artillery In
the darkness, for fear Of killing it's
own men, but the soldiers fought
hand -to-hand in the light cast by
fires burning in buildings set afire
early in the battle by the first bonn
bardment Of the rebel artillery.
When the first light showed to-day
Villa sent into the battle all the
forces that he had held in reserve
during the night. Most of these SOL
diers were the men who had been
given an opportunity to rest after the
battle that resulted in the capture Of
Gomez Palacio.
Fighting from the house tops and
from barricades in the streets. the
Federals had succeeded during the
night in hurting back every attempt
of Villa to enter the principal plaza
Of the city All night the Constitu-
tionalists had been cutting their way
through adobe,houses for many blocks
in order to get behind the Federal
barricades, but the work was slow.
Federal Commanders Slain.
General villa sent message to his
headquarters here early this morning
confirming earlier reports that Gem
eral Ricardo Pena and Colonel Fred
erico Reyna, of the Federal army, had
been killed. and that General o. Car
rama and General Almanzan had
been fatally wounded. General Car
rama was the best cavalry leader
that the Federals had.
villa stated that none Of his OFF,
GERS had been killed, but Colonel Trim
idad Rodriguez was seriously wound
ed. The rebel officers to-day admit
ted that 800 Of their men had been
killed in the lighting that resulted in
the capture Of Gomez Palacio. Five
hundred and fifty dead Federais have
been counted on the battlefield.
