There are 1879 nurses training
schools in the country. 1t was
pointed out today that the need of
these schools for nurses was as
great and important as that of the
Army School of Nursing. Those
who enroll in the United States
Student Nurse Reserve will be as
signed to these various hospitals
as vacancies occur. The term of
training varies from two to three
years.
Every woman who completes the
training course satisfactorily may
be eligible for enrolment as Red
Cross nurse and for service with
the Army or Navy Nurse Corps and
stands chance of being assigned
to duty abroad. At the same time
she will be qualified to earn her
living in one of the noblest profess
sions open to women.
"The appeal from our hospitals
in the field is imperative" said
Doctor Anna Howard Shaw, Chair
man of the Woman's Committee, in
an appeal today to the young wo-
men of the country. ''They must
at once have every nurse who can
be spared. The places of those
withdrawn must be filled immedi-
ately by student nurses. The call
must be answered from every part
of the nation. Let there be no wo-
man Stacker in the land"

Keep the Judiciary Out or Politics

= OVERNOR DAvIS'S recommendation of
NJ change in the Constitution to provide
for election of tho judges OF the Supreme
Court of Appeals by popular vote comes
a distinct surprise to the conservative people
Of Virginia, and even with his support OF
the principle. they will not sanction it,
because its effect would BIO TO subject the
judiciary to the influence OF politics to
greater or less extent. 1t is of the highest
wisdom that our courts Of last resort be
moved far from tho influence of political
turmoil as possible. For them to venture
without the boundaries OF established law
in the determination of causes would be 20
invite confusion in the whole system pro-
rided for the administration OF justice, and
to such extent political influences con
tributcd thereto, 1t would mean the force of
transient popular opinion setting at defiance
the ordered course of Justice. representing
the ripcned wisdom OF authority cmanating
directly from tho people.
The founders OF our Federal system recog-
nized the importance of removing the
judiciary beyond the sphere of political in
luence by providing for life tenure by execu-
tive appointment, subject to confirmation by
the Senate. and more than q ccntury's eX-
perience has confirmed the wisdom of the
policy While the Federal plan has not boon
followed. or rather adhered to, by many OF
the States. it is to be doubted if the expert
ehee VI an! ol thciu WIN inc clectlNc system
shows any improvement over it in the OBJ
jective OF securing an impartial judiciary,
learned in the law and fearless in its appli-
cation to the ends of Justice.
On the other hand, the elective system il
open to the objection, aside from Interior
influences that might be invoked to decide
the result, that the fate Of a candidate may

system would entail upon candidates Il con-

hibitive of the class of candidates most de-
srable for tho bench
