SICK ROOM HINTS
by II. ADDINGToN BRUCE

ciated with the patients possessions?
Remember that selfassertiveness is most I'M
tranquillizing, and the attitude of condescension
to ones work is more obnoxious still.
Any appearance of strenuousness must be
avoided; unusual incidents should appear to be
taken as they come, and should not be punctuat-
ed by establishment perturbation.
For example, a sometimes wishes to see
the doctor alone sometimes she does not. An
anxious patient will at notice a difference in
the routine, and may conjure up all sorts of ter
rors in consequence of a nurse leaving the
to speak to the doctor upOh his departure.
Hence the should make a practice of
always leaving the room along with the doctor
at the conclusion of his visit
The nurse, too, must think of little comforts,
such as a relay of hot towels for which the pa
tient may not think of asking, a pad under the
back, the right placing of a light, etc.
What is read aloud to a patient must be select
ed with great discrimination Ask the doctors ad-
vice as books other reading matter that
should be avoided.
Be particularly careful neither by word nor act
to Intensity the patients nervousness and anxiety
about the outcome of the illness.
These hints by embody the whole
philosophy of successful nursing. But their OBJ
servance may the difference between success
and failure and will certainly do much to rob
the sick-room of its terrors.
Therefore it will not be amiss to clip out this
list of recommendations and keep it available for
use when illness is in the home.

In Wisdom and Mercy.

In committing the sentence of Thomas Edgar

on which this Commonwealth is founded If ever
there was reason for executive clemency and for
the employment of that mercy which is IAN at

Stripling's pathetic experience has been lkened

good citizen in the town of Danville, Virginia,
where he settled. He earned the respect and con-
hdenee of the community. so much so that he was
made its chief of police. Then, like a lightning
stab from cIoudless sky. his past fell tragcally
upon him.
There is no thin or mawkish sentimentality in
the public conscience which has appealed for Strip

it has been the appeal of thoughtful human-heart-

ness had atoned for his moment of impulse and

TENTS Much of what he had to say bears so d.
rectIy on nursing in general, and is so applicable
by all who have to care for the sick, that l have
thought it worth while to condense for ready ref
erence some of his recommendations
Every nurse should cultivate that fine instinct
which puts us in anothers place, makes us see
with another's eyes, and so prevents us from
rudely trampling upon anothers feelings
She should know great deal about the prepa-
ration of food and especially how to make It APP

with neatness and taste.
she should avoid such possible sources of an

Whispering walking tip-toe.
Many patients have special dislikes. some
of these are very trivial but the nurse cannot De
too alert to observe them and act accordingly.
For instance, the arrangement OF the 1000 and
dishes on a tray may offend, so the nurse should
carefully observe the patients expression Wnen
the first meals are brought.

The window shade may cause an unpleasant glare

The Compulsory Education Bill

The compulsory school attendance bill recently

highly favorable comment from educators who are
in touch with the States practical conditions ana
needs The consensus of opinion seems to DC that
while the bill is markedly lenient 1t is capable Oh
accomplishing vast deal of good and oughC 10 Oe
pressed promptly to enactment
According to reliable estimates the proposed
law would put into the schools during the next
wear or two some thirty thousand children who now
are Wholly deprived of education. That is an END
worth striving for This conservative, constructive
measure ought to be placed upon the statute books
without delay.
