that makes for the pureSt, noblest
character this world knows anything
about Motherhood, the sweetest,
sublimest and most enabling function

of appreciation the heart of those who
are not moved with admiration for

lions and Agencies. Already a num-
Der of pupils have enrolled n en-
forts are being made to increase the
number in the classes. The school
is the first Of its kind to be opened
in New Jersey and has grown out
of many conferences of members or
the State Board of Control, the COM
missioner and the superintendents or
the Department of Institutions n
Agencies with the heads of all nurs-
ing ORGANIZATIONS of the state, which
have been held during the past year.
The original plan of the sohooi
was worked out by Miss Josephine

inspector Of nursing of the state
department. and who was formerly
chief nurse of the Colonia Base Hos
pital No. 8, and IA put in its ina
form only after prolonged confer

set forth in the brief discuss the
needs Of the navy yard employe as

managers and their employees over
wages and hours of employment.
A petition of the, National Indus
trial Trafiic League to represent the
shipping public before the United
States Railway Labor Board in the
hearings on national agreements.
was denied today by the board.
The league declared in It's petition,
filed with the Labor Board on March
Is. that its membership was COM
posed of commercial and industrial
organizations ana representative
shipping concerns from the entire
United States.
1t also stated that any decision
of the board on railway wages. rules
and working conditions would af-
feet the members OF the league. who
employed the same class of workers
as were employed by the railroads.
In denying the petition. the board
says to grant it would open the way
for every manufacturer or board of
trade and would produce long delay
in the hearings.
1t is generally accepted in rail-
road circles that this decision es-
tablishes a precedent and that no
