Nursing education not only prepares
for large variety Of professional
fields, but Is an excellent preparation,
for home and family life and for pub
lie service in many ways.
Almost upon enrolment the student
begins her service to the community
in helping to care for the sick, as a
part of her instruction and training.
Life in most schools Is healthy,
wholesome, simple and regular. 1t Is
full Of vivid human interest, the stu
dent sharing in deepest realities OF
life.
The graduate OF good school steps
at once into regular professional life
and work with an assured livelihood.
No weary struggle to get foothold-
to show what she can do. The hos
pital has carried her over that stage.
Her work is ready and waiting for her
If she successfully completes her train

tuition fee for preparatory course. The
student is also cared for in illness.
Salaries compare favorably with sal
aries of other trained women In some
fields they are higher than the aver
age. Especially Is this true Of teach
ing and administrative work either In
institutions or in public health nurS-
ing. Opportunities for advancement
are many and steadily increasing.
Our schools of nursing, our civil hos
pitfalls, are to women what the training
camps are to officers and men. Hun
dreds of nurses have already been
drafted. The supply will be utterly
inadequate unless our qualified wom-
en- rally in large numbers to this call
Of duty. Enroll as a student and be-
gin your preparation to meet your
countpy's need for large numbers of
highly trained nurses-not only for
war service under the American Red
Cross, but also for peace service OF
the greatest Importance.
Hospitals and schools of nursing
need an ample student nursing s,rv
ice, composed of welleducated, high
principled, capable and devoted young
women who are in training to become
expert, skilled, competent nurses. AL

from the trouble I have with tele-

apt to be excitable. and that would
be serious drawback. and then too
they would have to learn not talk

KAISER REPLIES TO SATANIC MAJESTY
NOT COPYRIGHTED

The letter written by his Santanic
Majesty, Lucifer Satan, to Kaiser
Wilhelm, in which the Kaiser sug-
Rested abdicating in favor of the
Emperor, has reached its destina-

the tempting offer made by the
devil has beer rejected. The fol-
lowing attributed to the Kaiser has
been made public:

From London comes the assertion
that official German estimates of
submarine sinkings are about SO per
cent too high. Many of the vessels
torpedOed and reported sunk succeed
in making their way to port with
their cargoes. Great expectations
are entertained with reference to the
help which the United States will
be able to contribute in bringing
the U-bost campaign to an end.
The rapidity with which naval YES
sells are undergoing construction in
the United States and Great Britain
is one of the wonders of the war.
