riety OF reporting the instance to the
child's mother, perhaps to be insult
ed for ones pains.
Doubtless the majority Of nurses
are faithful to their little charges, or
at most but little careless, but Il does
seem as II there should be some way
OF dealing with those who are vicious
or reeklessly careless. since every
mother must trust her children to
the care OF nurses sometime.

Here's q suggestion one new father
made for dealing with q problem
which is giving him great concern
just now. Let the nurse maids be
licensed. just as chauffeurs are Icen-
sed, and let them each be given q
number. Then, IL any pubic spirited
or humane citizen sees q nurse
neglecting or maltreating a child. she
could be reported not to her mistress
but to the municipal authorities and
an Investigation could be made. To
obviate trouble-making on the part
OF the spiteful persons. II would be
necessary to require that all COM
plants be backed by three reputable
witnesses. II the offense proved too
rank or the offender a repeater" OF
too hardened character. the license
could be revoked. There, doesn't that
sound eminently sensible and prac-
ticable to you?
