Recently really wonderful work has
been done in some of the school centers
for blind children: for 1t has been found

carefully in other ways for a little while.
the so-called blindness disappears. Usual
~ this blindness that is cured is in reality
that is 50 nearsighted Is to all practical
purposes blind
The work OF the doctors In these blind
centers Is suggestive OF work that ought
to be done all over the cOuntry-all over
the world. in fact. Already IL has been
pointed out in no doubtful language that
much actual blindness is preventable II
a certain antiseptic solution Is used on
the eyes Of a child at birth. Now comes
the revelation that many children who
pass for blind can be made to see with
proper glasses
OF course. most persons OF Intelligence
realize the Importance OF eyesight and
they have their chldren's eyes tended
when they show signs of weakness.
Among the ignorant this same precaution
Is not often taken. They look upon the
Child's inability 10 see as incurable
So the duty falls on those OF who have
intelligence to look carefully after the
eyes OF our own children. and to point
out the Importance OF examination by a
good Occulist to those who do not real
iZe IL.
II is poor economy. indeed. to wear
glasses not especially fitted to individual
eyes. This does not mean that every
body must pay ten or twenty dollars
for an examination of the eyes, and
an additional FIVE. ten or fifteen dol
lars for a pair of glasses. There are
many reliable opticians whose fee is
very reasonable. and for the very poor
there are eye clinics in the big
cities
II our children are properly fitted
with glasses. our duty Is not done
We must train them not to strain
their eyes. A very nervous child who
exhibits signs of near sightedness in
infancy. should not be allowed to
read until il is about six years old.
Before that time. II should be kept

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
November 29-Grace King, Jemima
Wilkinson, Louisa Alcott.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Two authors. Grace King and Louisa
Alcott, and Jemima Wilkinson. who be-
came famous because Of her religious
activity. all Americans. were born on
November %
The first IN point of time was Jemima
Wilkinson. She was born In Cumberland.
r. l.. 1853 years ago. She was of a re-
hgious turn OF mind. and was much in
fuenced by the preachings of Whitfield
When she was IS she underwent a seri-
Gus illness, and when she recovered from
II she said that In a trance she had left
the earth and received a message for
mankind. She spent the rest OF her life
travelling about. talking about this mes
sage. She settled a place called Jeru-
salem. in Yates County. n. Y. which
became the mecca for men and women
from all over the country and from Eng
land and France besides. Among her
followers she was called The Universal
Friend" and she gained a {. emendous
influence over them.
The latest. In point OF time. OF this
trio was Grace King. born IN New
Orleans in 1853. She followed the advice
often given to young writer's to write
about the things nearest TO them. She
was educated in Creole schools and was
stepped in Creole traditions. and when
she came to write she turned to these
Louisiana stories for inspiration. She
made a success OF her work. which, by
the way. was undertaken partly because
her family had lost much property dur
ing the war and really needed the fnan-
cial help she was able TO render them
as a result OF her writing
Louisa NJ. Alcott Is so well known that
her life hardly needs comment She was
born In 1892, and Little Women" proba-
bly, her best known book, appeared in
1867. when she was Is. Miss Alcott
worked hard to gain literary recognition.
She always said that she was prouder
OF SIS which she received for Flower
Fables" story she sold when she was
young. than she was for the big royalties
that she received later In life, and these
royalties used to mount to as much as
S. eco in six months. in which no new
books were written. During the years
when she was struggling for success
Miss Alcott turned to teaching sometimes
to earn money. and when the civil war
came She served as nurse. Almost
every phase of her life Is reflected in one
of her books. Hospital Sketches" was
the result OF her nursing.

Prevention First Is New
.s Motto Of Trained Nurse
Miss Lily Kaney President of Graduate Nurses Associa-
ton, Tells of Opportunities Open to Graduates
of Hospital Training Schools

When ! wanted to learn something
about the present outlook Of nursing as a
vocation for women eventually went
to zee Miss Lily Kanely, whr Is presi-
dent OF the Graduate Nurses Associa-
ton.
You know, I suppose" Miss Kanely
began, that the most recent develop
ment in the work of nursing has been
along preventative rather than curative
lines. Nowadays there are a dozen diff
terent lines of work for the graduate
nurse, besides positions In hospitals or
private cases. There is the infant well
fare work, the importance Of which Is
only just beginning to be realized. There
Is the regular work of the visiting nurse
in the poorer sections, there is the work
in the public schools. the social service
work of the hospitals, which follows
the discharged cases to their homes, the
work of prevention of blindness and
life insurance work. This last Is a re-
cent development and is very interesting.
So highly do the life insurance COM
panies value the preventive work that
the trained nurse may do that they
find II pays well to employ nurses to visit
the persons whom they insure and by
timely suggestions and help these nurses
can considerably minimize the risk of
the insurance company. With all these
different fields for the work of the nurse
there is room for many different types
OF women in the profession"
rs the profession at present over
crowded." 1 asked.
No" was Miss Kanelys unqualified
answer. There Is always a demand for
more good nurses and there are always
positions waiting for the best types of
nurses. OF course. there are women who
do not make a success of 1t as there are
IN other professions. but that is because
they are not suited for the vocation. But
there are not so many failures now as
there were a few years ago. for women
don't so into the work as a fad so much
now. As for the salaries OF nurses the
executive posts in hospitals yield from
s., 500 down.
1T is hard to realize the extent OF the
influence Of the trained nurse in pre-
ventive work." Miss Kanely went on to
say. Take, for instance. the proven
ton of blindness at birth. So much of
this work has been done. and so much
can be done by the nurses And in the
fight against tuberculosis. 1t is due to
the work of the nurses in lines of public
health as well as the doctors that the

der control. and that the appalling death
rate among infants has been so decidedly
reduced. To a great extent this work is
done very quietly and without ostenta-
ton. However. It is true that the pub
lie Is beginning to take a great interest
In the work OF nurses. A few years ago
when we had our convention there was a
paragraph in the papers about It. At the
last convention in San Francisco OF the
American Nurses Association. OF which
there are 1000 members all over the
country. there was almost q whole front
page devoted to it,
asked Miss Kanely what were the
special interests attracting attention of
the members OF the District Nurses AS
citation. of which she Is president
Aside from an Increased interest in
this general movement for preventive
work and allied national movements our
greatest interest this winter is in rails
ing money for the $4,000 memorial to
Isabel Hampton Robb one-tlme super
intendent Of Johns Hopkins University
Hospital This memorial which the
nurses OF all over the country are help
ing TO raise is divided into four year
ly scholarships available to graduate
nurses. They are located in Teachers
College. Columbia University. In the
School of Civics. in CHICAGO; in the Henry
TippS lnslilule. IN fnllduelpnlAs ana
In the Visiting Nurses Society In Bos-
ton. That in Teachers College is in the
school OF hospital administration. but in
the other three institutions the study is
in preparation for public health work.
And this proportion OF three to public
healthw DIRK to one OF hospital work
shows the relative scope OF the two
phases Of work as they are now carried
on by graduate nurses in this country.
The scholarships are awarded to can
didates who are graduate nurses and
who have the other qualiicat atoms de-
manded by the institutions In which the
scholarships are placed. So far twelve
graduate nurses have made use Of these
scholarships. Our club here in Wash

The club OF which Miss Kenely is now
