period of three to four years have

be good thing If, in this department
of education as in others, the needed
pruning Is done and quicker, strong

The influenza epidemic showed
plainly enough what America needs
in the way of bedside attendance, and
any measure which makes the study
of nursing more practical and attract
i've to a large body of women will be
worth while.
( OF course the nurse for acute and
surgical cases needs careful, com
prehensive training down to the last
detail but for such nurses the bust
ness of learning could be made more
attractive, and they should have bet

be found possible to eliminate some

nor was there any clue discovered as
to its identity.
Apparently the mother did not de.
sert the child because she was un.
able to support II, as the clothes were
of good quality and were expensive.

The mother showed herself to be in
terrible hurry when she disposed OF
the child as she merely placed it on
the porch, without any comforts.
When Mrs. Simmonds found the child
its small, bare head was resting on
the porch floor.
The police say that a woman got
off the Pennsylvania 3:4O train Tues
day morning with a babe, and they
are quite positive that this Is the
child deposited on the porch at the
home of Miss Evans. The police are
working on this clue and will ask the
conductor of that train to state where
the woman boarded the train.
The finding of the baby created a
great deal of excitement in the west
end OF town and during the entire
day many persons visited the Sim
monds home to view the child.
It's sparkling eyes and wavy hair
caused every woman who viewed it
to declare that they were in love with
it and wanted to adopt it. Many per.
sons telephoned Mrs. Simmonds, ask
ing her what she was going to do with
the child, and whether or not they
would let them adopt it.
Mrs. Simmonds stated that while
she did not know yet whether or not
she would be allowed to adopt the
child, II she did not, she knew of a
woman who would gladly do so.
This lady" Mrs. Simmonds told
the Banner representative this morn
ing, has seen the baby and is simply
crazy to own it. She hasn't any chill
