One OF these clans composed OF
the aloof Jews, separated from
their fellow mortals by creed and
persecution, have found Twenty
fourth street, in the vicinity of Kel-
lom school. peculiarly attractive,
Members OF this race have settled
in This locality in large numbers,
confronting our. city officials with a
problem smaller only in dimensions
to that of which before the war
faced the larger cities.
Eager For Schooling
To the great majority of these
strangers opportunities for educa-
ton have been denied. Upon their
arrival here they therefore take inn
mediate advantage of our system of
public education. Many of them
though old in years and experience,
are so DESTROYS of attaining knowl-
edge that they are willing to under
go the humiliation of going even
to the public school with small child
rem.
Thus Kellom school found itself
confronted with a complicated prob
lem. The minds OF these strangers,
often sharpened by suffering and
experience, leaped far ahead of the
average student. But the handi.
cap of inabality to speak the Ian
guage was too great Finally a
happy medium was hit upon. An
"ungraded ROOM was established.
All strangers in quest of knowledge
were sent to this room, their qualif-
cations adjudged, and after a period
of intensive training in the use OF
the English language, they were
placed in one of the regular classes.
Often they were graduated directly
from this "ungraded room"
A Labor of Love.
To Miss Norton fell the task of
handling these timid but bright for
eigners. 1t was truly "a labor of
love" Often she had watched the
pitiful attempts of these immigrants
while i'll the regular classes. Their
their struggles, their disap-
pointments interested her. She was
sympathetic and had not failed to
her deep interest. Teach
ing and aiding these straners had
become a second nature to her.
She understood and was therefore
appreciated.
And to this room came Abraham
SWEET.

BY SAMUEL ISRAEL,

Often in the hurried and sfretful
wanderings of the newsgatherer he
catches sight of the fair but timid
maiden OF romance. and not recog-
nizing her he hastens on to record
some hum-drum recurrent incident
OF daily life. Then some chronicler,
more fortunate espies the maiden
and her story is revealed for the
! ever curious public.
And so in one OF our daily papers
recently appeared the brief am
nouncement of the marriage OF
Miss Pearl Norton to Abraham
Sweet. According to the abbreviated
notice, both were Omaha residents.
Miss Norton had been a school
teacher for the last six years Mr..
SWEET was we'll versed in literature
and graduate of the Omaha
schools.
Romance Entirely Overlooked.
But romance had been entirely
overlooked in the brief article.
SWEET, the young Russian immigrant
of some eight years ago, was en-
tirely forgotten in the description
of the versatile Mr.. SWEET of today.
His struggles and his ultimate
triumph in the "ungraded room"
at Kellom school, where Miss Nor
ton held sway as teacher. was unde-
scribed and unmentioned. Only the
commonplace fact of marriage suf-
feed for the first chroniclcr who had
been unfortunate enough not to
recognize mute romance in the dim
background.
The story has its inception in the
autumn of some eight years ago
At the same time the young Russian
Immigrant arrived at Ellis island,
New, York City-that great port
which serves, as gateway to the
promised island, America, for mil

ness IN the nursing system OF our
Taft Backs Nurses.
Ex-President Taft, for four years
commander-in-chief of our army
and for three months a patient in
military hospital in the Phillip
pines, says: Army nurses deserve
and need rank in order to work
more efficiently. Why withhold it:
Let us brush Mr. Tite Barnacle
aside" So strong is his belief in
the need of rank for the army nurse
corps that he has become honorary
chairman of the national committee
to secure military rank for army
nurses.
General Gorgas, surgeon-generaI
OF the army throughout the late
war, many of the medical officers
high on his staff, the big civil doc
tors of the country-Flexner, of the
Rockefeller Foundation; Cabot.
Massachusetts; Vaughan, Michigan:
WEIGH, Johns-Hopkins; the Mayos,
Minnesota; all favor rank for nurses.
DR.. Colonel Cabot says: Il am
heartily in favor of rank for nurses.
They did more than we, the doc
tors, did. As we are officers, they

Societies Approve Request.
All the nursing associations of the
country, the medical board of the
Council of National Defense, promi-
nent lay organizations such as the
woman's committee of the Council
of National Defense, the general
Federation of Women's clubs, hun
dreds of chapters of the Red Cross,
the suffrage organizations, have ex-
pressed their approval of request
so patriotic, so unselhsh.
The nurses, Notwithstanding the
gratitude they have earned from
their country, are asking nothing for
themselves. They are asking for
relative rank only-which means
rank without commission, emolu-
ments or increase in pay. The wis
dom of their request seems proven
by the fact that Canada and Aus
tralia have found that relative rank
granted their army nurse corps sew
eral years ago has accomplished lust
what our nurse corps claims it will
accomplish.
Surgeon General Fetherston. at
the Australian army, on his visit to
this country last year declared that
the efficiency OF both the Canadian
and Australian army nurse corps
had been greatly increased by the
giving of relative rank to the nurses.
and" added General Fetherston,
remember, no matter how much
you give the nurses, it will be none
too good for them. They are the
noblest class of women in the
world.''
Only Relative Rank Asked.
This noblcst class of women TO-
day is asking modestly only for rel
alive rank, and for the lower grades
OF rank, those to be carefully subor-
dinated to the medical corps.
In spite of the wide popular de-
n1and that these women be granted
request based purely on a desire
to serve, in spite of expert testi-
mony proving their request to be a
wise one, in spite of the proofs of
success offered by Canada and Aus
tralia, the War department up to the

That praise is unstinted. AS one
poor crippled fellow in Walter Reed
hospital said to me yesterday: Our
nurses pulled us through. They
were the bright light we saw when
we got out OF battle. They brought
back to our minds what we had
gone in for" And another: can
believe me, they were never cutters.
I've seen them stick and go on tax
ing out wounded when men ran for
cover"
The services of these women to
our country is one of the thrilling
romances of the war. Medical Off
GERS who were with them on the
firing line, public men who saw
them at work at the front, the boys
whose lives they saved-all testify
to their devoted heroism.
Reavis Endorses Plan.
Said Representative Reavis of
Nebraska, on his return from
France: Il saw gray faced, hollow
eyed nurses who admitted reluct-
antly and with a smile that they
had been on duty under fire for SO,
4S, even 81 hours. I've come back
to do what I can for those heroic
women who are doing SO much for
u.s."
The War department UP to the
present time has failed to reward
the services of our army nurse
corps. In the general staff plan for
army recognition just submitted %
the senate military affairs commit
tee the one request made by Our
army nurses on their return from
overseas service has been side
tracked and ignored. This request,
made for the soldiers whom all
through the war they have stood by
SC devotedly was that the nurses
be granted rank in order that they
could better discharge their duties.
In the acid test of the late wa.
our nurses discovered that they
could have cared for their wounded
more efficiently had they possessed
rank. And this is why. The army
nurse corps has the grave RESPONSE
bility of seeing that the medical Of
ficers' orders are carried out. To
do this, as the nurses have as many
as 20 patients in their wards at
time, they must depend on the help
of orderlies who are enlisted men,
for the most part, unframed in hos
pital work and constantly shifting.
These men have been taught to
only obey officers who wear rank in
sigma on their shoulder straps, but
not to obey nurses without rank
or the insignia of rank. They think
exactly what one delirious man at
base hospital kept saying to his
nurse: 81 don't have to obey you.
You're not an officer; you're only
nurse" 1t has been found that this
lack of rank and the authority that
goes with such rank results in fric-
ton between nurses and orderlies;
in delays that are dangerous-some-
times fatal. Much of the time and
vitality of the nurses that should
be given their patients is wasted in
struggles with unframed orderlies
over whom the nurses, without
tank, have no recognized authority.
The nurse corps is not alone in
believing that the possession of
rank will help this dangerous weak
