as usual have proven false; in their

MINNESOTA OCCUPIED
WITH IMPORTANT JOBS
Temperance Prominent Issue In Pri-
marics, and Duty Now Ahead Is
TO Elect Clean Legislature

Minnesota has just passed through
what is probably the most important
primary election in its history The
contest centered about the loyalty
issue. the temperance issue, and the
struggle between the non partisan
league and it's opponents Superin-
tendent Stafford OF the Anti-Sa loon
League announces that while these
other two issues involved In the cam
paign have occupied first place in a
large number OF cities, they have not
been of such a character that they In
terfere with the dry campaign. This
is true because loyalty and the de-
struction OF the saloon are travelling
hand In hand And it ia generally un-
derstood that the nature of the liquor
business makes disloyal institutions.
Through the rural districts both
the friends and the enemies of the
farmers non partisan league are
largely friends to the prohibition
cause, SO these other two issues do
not interfere with the program of the
temperance movement A careful
survey of the returns, at this writing
incomplete, gives reason to believe
that the results on the whole are very
favorable for the prohibition issue
There Is excellent prospect for the
election of a Legislature which will
be dry.
superintendent Stafford announces
that there are three big jobs ahead
of the drys of Minnesota. One is to
ratify the state constitutional amend
ment, the second is to elect a dry
legislature and the third to ratify
the national amendment. The pri-
mary election has largely determined
the one, that is, the election of a dry
legislature, although the situation
might possibly be changed in some
districts in the November election Mr.
Slfford reminds the people that the
first big stask Is to ratify the state
constitutional amendment because IL
the drys should fail in this 1t would
discourage many men who are at
present doubtful in their attitude on
the wet and dry question. thus bring
ing about n condition that would lose
the drys their control of the legisla-
ture, and if the control in the legisIa-
ture is lost, of course. the national.
amendment will not be ratified He
announces that prospects for ratifi-
cation of the state amendment are
good, but warns against over-confi-
dence on the part of the dry voters

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR
LICENSED ATTENDANTS
Plhn Has Been Devised by Graduate
Nurses Association of Nirg inia to
Increase Their Number

Arrange ments are now we'll under
way for the esta hlishment OF a train
ing school for licensed attendants to
DE opened in Richmond early In the
autumn by the Virginia state Board
of Examiners OF Nurses. OF which Miss
Julia MeIiichamp is executive secre-
tary. This plan has been devised by
the Graduate Nurses Association Of
Virginia to offset the shortage Of
graduate nurses caused by the in
Creaeing demands of the Red Cross
Each attendant viii be supervised
by regist cred graduate nurse who
VIII visit every patient at least twice
a week. and more frequently in sert-
Gus cases. The method will have the
double value of putting more women
in the field to care for the civilian
sick and of protecting the public
from totally unframed people. styling
themselves as nurses. One graduate
it is said. probably viii he able TO
supervise twenty attendants.
This course will be an intensive
one Of six months. in which the stu
dent will be required to learn general
bedside care, cooking. cleaning and
the care of children. Within the last
few weeks reports have come to local
nurses and social workers of entirely
ignorant women who do not hesitate
to go into homes when they have no
idea of the duties incumbent upon
them. Many of these can not even
take temperatures, have never given
bath and are unable to prepare
nourishments in a manner which does
not defeat their aim. while a new
baby Is as much of an enigma as it
usually Is to the proud, but helpless
father.
On the other hand there are a
number of women throughout the
state, who for several reasons have
been forced TO abandon training in a
hospital before completing the course.
while others through unusual apti-
tude and long experience are per-
fectly able to do good work when di
rected by a graduate. These will be
licensed without examination at the
discretion of the board upon present
ing their credentials at once to the
executive secretary, care state board
of health in Richmond.
There are many girls of good edu-
cation well suited to enter this work
but who are not quite equipped for
regular training, as all hospitals in
Virginia require the successful com
pletion of at least one year in high
school and preferably a graduate of
the public schools. When a student
has finished the grammar grades she
is sufficiently advanced to care for
a sick person intelligently after taking
the prescribed course and to make a
congenal companion to her patients.
After the war she may continue to
practice or she can look upon the
work as a wartime emergency. for it
is patriotism of the highest kind, as
the registered nurses are caring for
the men now in desperate need of
their assistance.
