Thirteen million new members is,
the result of the Red Cross Christ
mas drive, which is three million
better than the number asked when
the drive was started. In spite Of
this there are lots of folks that
ought to be members who are not
and who should still send in their
names and their dollars.

The first reason for having good

the fact that they provide the

food for the family. Their value
is hard to estimate when we con-

There is an awkward defect in
the new postal law that should
have the immediate attention of
Congress or the postal authorities.
Under the new regulations a letter
may be mailed at the Office of de-
livery for two cents. but the law
prohibits the postmaster from for
warding mail to another Office for
collection Of the additional one cent
required at all offices other than
the one at which the letter is mail
ed. The effect is a delay that some
times is awkward and embarrassing
Such delays occur frequently in
cases where people change their
office address. The remedy is easy
and should have attention at ma
tiunal headquarters.

1t must be understood that a dis
contented soldier is not the best
warrior; that dissatisfied army is
not the most efficient one. You
drive a man into battle but you
can't drive him to do bis best. 1t
is therefore of the utmost import
ance that soldiers are kept con
tented. This can be done by giving
them officers who know how to
handle and treat an army. The
average American soldier is man
of education and intelligence and
he knows that military discipline is
strict and he is willing to comply
with all the requirements. but he
also knows what proper treatment
means and he will not yield grace
fully to any unjust exactions

ing and equipment and pay for the
things they eat. At present prices
for officers clothing and equipment
it is claimed that a second Lieute-
nant. who is paid the lowest salary,
cannot save as much as th private
soldier who is clothed and fed by
the Government. Officers shoes
cost from ST to $40 per pair. and it
is said that each officer is required
to have three pairs. Three pairs of
shoes might work all right for a Gov
ernor's military staff but in actual
war a trigger tail coat would be of
as much use as a third pair of shoes.
No excess baggage is permissible on
the fighting line and we must wake
up to this stubborn fact. Money,
three pairs of shoes and feather beds
are all right at home but not at the
battle front. Ask Gen. Pershing or
any one else with military ex-
perience.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Success is assured only to those
who enter upon this career with an
ideal end in view to do good and
useful work. Yet. it compensates
well even those who look upon this
profession from the financial end.
Graduate nurses command thirty
dollars weekly, and there are always
more sick than nurses, so that those
who are industrious can work all
the time.
No profession can be so easily
acquired as nursing. No school
furnishes free board and quarters to
its pupils; the nurses training
school does. No school pays
monthly salary to it's pupils; the
school for nurses pays every pupil
$1,000 per month. No school Gre
ates such ideal social environments
as the training school. No charge
is made for theoretical instruction,
comprising course of lectures in
Anatomy, Physiology, Bacteriology,
Midwifery, female diseases, general
medicine, first aid to the injured, and

many other subjects given by physi-
clans and surgeons. Monthly, semi
annual and annual examinations are
conducted, and special prizes award
ed to best pupils.
The duration of the course varies
in different states, and so do the
preliminary requirements. In the
States of New York and Massachu-
sets the preliminary requirements
are at least one years high school,
or it's equivalent. Those who lack
preliminary training have an oppor-
tunity of combining this course to-
gether with their regular training.
and provision for such instruction is
often made by the training schools.
The course is generally three years.
In the last or senior year, pupils are
put in full charge of wards, with
Junior nurses under their supervi-
sion.
After graduation the field of &C.
tivity is unlimited. Some continue
private nursing, others become paid
nurses in hospitals, and number

THE NURSING PROFESSION
AN IDEAL VOCATION FOR
JEWISH GIRLS.
By DR.. I. D. Bronfn.

profession implied life of seclusion
from worldly pleasures, full of woe
and sorrow, and the name nurse was
often used anonymously with that
of nun. The reason for that may be
attributed to the fact that in num-
der of sectarian hospitals, nuns often
served in the capacity Of nurses, and
that it gave the erroneous i'm
preston that nurse must be nun
or vice versa. Others thought that
the nurse was similar to the ordinary
domestic servant. With such notions
prevalent, is there any wonder that
our people sneered at this noble pro-
fession? If one did engage in such
work she was looked upon as
derelict, and the rumor would be
that the reason for such desperate"
steps, is on account Of some way
Wardness or unrequitted love.
With the rise of Florence Night
ingale into great prominence, this
splendid woman and "Mother of the
Nurses" as She is legitimately call
ed, the public interest was greatly
stimulated, and the profession be-
came more popular. The important
service the nurses rendered in the
Russo-Japanese war added more
prestige, and the more progressive
people removed the ban, and per-
united their daughters to engage
in this work.
But few indeed they were. Only
in 1907 I had occasion to learn that
the nursing staff of the leading Jew
ish hospitals Of New York, was only
ten per cent Jewish. This was in
deed to be deplored, for who has not
experienced the acute depression in
cident to new and strange environ
ment. The dependency and the
intense longing for home surround
ings were in themselves sufficient
to aggravate the illness, or at any
rate, retard recovery. Lacking
home atmosphere, the Jewish hospi
tai had their wards half empty, and
the surgeons and physicians had to
use great deal of persuasion before
they could induce their patients to
report to the hospital for treatment
With the establishment of training
schools for nurses, and as a result
of an educational campaign con-
Quoted by medical directors and SUI
perintendents, the situation has
changed. The hospital dread has
vanished, and the Jewish nurse has
come into existence as conspicu
,ous figure. She now ministers not
only to the physically sick and

Orders Of Food Administration.

1.-THE order against boarding." IL
was stated at the Food Administra-
ton today, docs not apply to tho
home or family Gamer. Ofcourse, the
food administration wants every
household to can as much foodstuffs
during the canning season as 1t is
able TO do. The order Is not intended
to discourage private canning, and II
is not intended to operate against
families who have put away large sup
plies of foodstufTs during the last cam
ming season. 1t is readily understood
that housewives during canning sea-
sons put away more than 30 days sup
ply, and In cases where they do these
supplies will not be disturbed
From the way the statement read 1t
was possible that this impression
could have been given 1t, but the
wording was too rigid, and household
Gamers can rest assured that they win
not be disturbed when they put up
more than 30 days supply OF canned
foodstuffs. /"
