CHANCE FOR NURSES
To TAKE COURSE
Scholarship Fund Provides for.
Public Health Nursing Study

Hartford, Nov 3O-An visiting
nurse associations, nurses registers
and accredited hospitals i'll Connecticut
are soon to be notified by the women's
division, Connecticut State Council Of
Defense, that a special fund of 81, 903
is available for scholarships for regis
tered nurses to enable them to Ike q
four months post graduate course In
public health nursing. The selection
of nurses to whom the scholarships
will be awarded will be made by the
child welfare departm ent of the Con-
necticut Defense Council which has
been authorized to spend the money.
The fund to be thus expended was
subscribed in Connecticut for child
welfare work. Miss Margaret X.
Stack, field director OF the child vel
fare department. said that in view Of
this fact it seemed best to award the
scholarships on the condition that the
first year of the nurses professional
work after her postgraduate course
would be done in Connecticut in one
of the many towns that are waiting
for trained public health nurses be-
fore starting their work.
The need of more trained public
in Connecticut since the child welfare
campaign by the womans division,
Defense Council and since the recent
influenza epidemic.
'Forty-two of tho 168 towns in theN
state now have public nursing organi-
zations, and seven more are consider
ing starting such organizations" Miss
Stack said. She added that there
were several reasons why every town
should have public health nursing.
Some of these reasons was to reduce.
the number of infant deaths by giving
prenatal care and instruction to
m others making avaiIa BILE good nurs~s
ing and medical care at time of con-
fnemen establishing milk stations
and child welfare conferences, and
supplying skilled attention for young
children during their first dangerous
years.
Other reasons dcmcnding public
health nursing were to as
sure nursing care 20 rs
per cent. of the sick who cam
use every human means for control
ling epidemics and to supervise the
tuberculosis problem in the commu-
nifty.
TT is obvious that there will DO a
place for every nurse who takes the
four months course" said Miss Stack

TRFiNTIlE2SS DAY.

/ did not mind the heatiess day,
For I'd no coal laid by,
And getting chilled
Might prove me filled
With patriotism high,
But oh. alas. the Treaties Day,
When all the land Is dry!
r laughed to scorn the meetless day.
When carnal grub was shy;
did not ache
To eat a steak
That only wealth could buy.
But blue indeed the Treaties Day.
When all the land is dry
I bore with ease the sweetless day.
Although twas void Of pie;
I cried ''Depart!'
To cake and tart
That doomed seductive nigh.
But bitter looks the wheatless day,
Though doughnuts did not Try
Said l., "Old man,
Just swallow bran,
Your frame to fortify!"
But how I loathe that Treatless Day
When all the land Is dry!
T smiled throughout the eatiess day,
With ne'er a food supply:
The pangs I felt
Behind my belt
7 knew next Morn Woulo n.y.
But curses on the Treaties Day
When all the land is dry.

1t has been said that person who

of course only f1gurative way of
saying that we are all creatures
whose lives are largely subject to our
surroundings and influences. The ac-
tivity Of each one of US may be con-
trolled by controlling the situations
and experiences that stimulate and
nouzish our normal responses. Noble
action must not be expected where
no ideals have been set up. Actions
that are both honest and intelligent

take note OF whether we are succeed

and ideals that lead to loyal A1neri-

possible to foster and tolerate such
nisimpressions that there is not even
q. ready understanding of the big
and simple things that America

that the court processes are so inflexi

Again and again the candidate for

could become q great vice. Are ~
properly careful OF the ideals that arg
implanted with the citizenship CGFG-
mo1y?
It is not generally realized how the
prospective citizen spends at least AVE
years and ninety days IL this country,
pays five dollars in fees, learns tn
speak the American language, passes
tests regarding his familiarity with
our goyernme nt, makes at least four
separate visits to secure his papers
and on two of these occasions must
bring two witnesses to court with hln
perhaps paying their wages and
car fare at such times, ELL to entitle
himself to the privilege Of being an
American.
But almost at cace the newly nat~{
uralized citizen begins to feel con-
WINGED that citizenship Is not worth
much it it carries with it nothing OF
fellowship and none of that friendly
association such as his heart Graves.
He had read about AID thought of
this country as a communion of free
men, as brothers both in work and
in civil life but he does not find 1t so.
He receives the impression that Am
orleans place an inferior estimate OF
what he had held SO high, namely.
the rank and honor of citizenship III
the greatest of existing republics. HAS,
ideals of his new privilege are thust
subjected to negative influences at the
very time that they are in the, greatst
need of positive announcement and

You who do not know or feel familiar
with the numerous requirements and
barriers interpOsed to insure high
selection of fitness for those who DO
attain citizenship are not impressed
with the fact that they are a selected
group-with many who fail-and that
they are deserving of the hand OF
fellowship from all those who enjoy,
by accident of birth, the civil rights
that they have striven so hard to at
tain. The naturalized citizen Will he

After you have invited a man into

him make himself at home. This 1s
all the more true if it happens to be
your political house, and the guest

DELEGATES TO CE
CONGRESS

President Wilson gave only slight
consideration to the personal ambi-
tions of others when he selected the
delegates who will represent the
United States at the peace conference
and it is to be expected that he will
be sharply criticized by the forces at
Washington that have continually
found fault with his acts. 1t must be
remembered, however that President
Wilson simply employed the author
ity vested in him by the Constitution
and followed the course of other
Presidents who selected their own
delegates to peace congresses.
Colonel House is certain to be the
point of attack by those who are dis
satisfied with the Presidents selec-
tions. Colonel House is a man of
mystery, the personification of the
Sphinx. He declines to take into his
confidence a Clique in Congress
which mas a longing to know what is
going on inside his head That is the
basis of all criticism directed against
him. And that should be considered
an asset rather than a liability in
these loquacious days
The selection of Henry White as a
representative Republican is open to
censure only on the ground that he
has not taken an active part in Re
publican affairs. AS a former mem
Der of the diplomatic staff during Re-
publican administrations he rendered
valuable services to his country and
was highly esteemed by the then
President Roosevelt
Resentment from senate quarters
because no memb ers of the unner
house have been invited to sit at the
round table may burst forth at any
hour. Although not required by law
to appoint members of the Senate as
delegates. President Wilson could
have reccg nized that body with no
harm resulting. The Senate will rat
lily the treaty and representation on
the peace delegation could have been
extended as a courtesy.
According to reports from Wash
ington, there existed a sentiment In
favor of the selection of William II.
Taft, Elihu Root or Charles r.
Hughes. Mr.. Taft was eliminated
when he allowed himself to be in
weighed into composing, with Colonel
Roosevelt an anneal ~ tho rno~yn
not to elect a Democratic majority In
Congress. He demonstrated then. in
writing, that he was entirely out o1
sym pathy with the administration
Mr.. Hughes would have been an ad.
mtrable choice. AS between Mr.
White and Mr.. Root, It is difficult to
BEE where amy gain would have been
made by choosing the latter.

POGROMS In POLAND.
leaders Ask for Full Investigation OF
Allied Atrocities.

New York, Nov 30.-To establish
the truth or falsity of stories con-
corning Jewish pogroms in Poland
representatives of the Polish National
Department and the Polish National
Defense Committee met at the Hotel
Gotham and united in drawing up
formal demand on the Am erican and
allied Government that they send at
once to Poland a special commission
to investigate conditions in that coun-
try and report the results of the in
vestigation to the allied and Am erican
people. The document was signed by
John F. Smulsl1i. Chairman Of the
Polish National Departm ent. and DR..
K. Zura Wski, Chairman of the Polish
National Defense Committee.
The statement said the Poles in the
United States had been viewing with
alarm the news being sent to Ameri-
can newspapers from Amsterdam,
Switzerland and other centres con-
corning pogroms in Poland. The state
ment added that representatives of
Jewish organizations in the United
States had already petitioned the al
lied Government that Poland "be
virtually denied even a seat at the
peace table or an opportunity to state
it's cause before that August tribunal"
Poland, it was said, was at war with
Ro1shevism and with the Ukrainians
''Unfortunately, perhaps, the Bolshe-
visit emissaries sent from Russia to
Poland have in many cases been Jews,
ra cially. though we appreciate that
they have long ceased to observe the
religious ohservances of the faith
the statement continued. I'VE may
now solen1nly declare that the dis
patches setting forth that nlassacres
of the Jews are taking place in War
saw are false"
That stories Of pogroms are of Ger
man origin intended to influence the
Allies against the creation of free
Poland was the assertion yesterday by
w. O. GorsI1i. director of the Polish
Information Bureau, 33 West orty-
second street.
DIR. julius Rupert Of this city, who
has contededs that reports of pogroms
in Poland were not justified by facts,
Is deeply interested in the outcome Of
the Investigations and he claims that
Mr.. Smulski's statements vindicate
him on his recent utterances.
