: THE GIRL ON THE JOB :

: By JESSIE ROBERTS
NEED FOR NURSES

THERE are not enough trained
nurses to meet the demand. On
the other hand nurses are saying
that they cannot make both ends meet
unless their pay is increased. Many
women who might take up the work
are deferred because of this fact.
To meet this, the alumni societies
of the training schools are combining
with a view to settle on a proper adj
vance. The new rate of pay would be
SO day for 12-hour periods, and $50
week for contagious cases.
Nurses are going to be asked for by
communities TO do public work. Dis
trict visiting and prenatal care at the
expense Of the community, where
circumstances demand, will be put in
to the hands of trained nurses 1t
will be worth doing, and sure TO APP
peal to certain types of women who
like nursing, but who do not care for
private or hospital work.
A girl who wants to study for this
profession should select her hospital
with care. She will have to expect to
do hard and disagreeable work. But
in number of institutions the eight
hour schedule is being adhered to,
more salary is being paid. and other
matters that have given rise to discon-
tent are being improved.

could be OF no possible use To any
body.
Yet the fact that Kelvin and a
couple of his friends, one In America
and another in Europe. used to
amuse themselves with these useless
Investigations. is. in a way, an argu-
ment in favor Of Mr.. Edison. 1t goes
TO show that certain things are worth
while even if no direct advantage is
TO be derived from them.
Old-fashioned schoolmasters were
great believers in the importance of
facts. and great part of their time
was passed In getting them into the
minds of the young.
But the modern schoolmaster goes
about his business In a different way.
He does not try To teach facts He
does try to teach general principles.
1t is like the difference between the
old geography and the new.
The Old dealt with the names of
places, rivers, mountains and so on.
The new deals with the effect of the
physical shape of the earth'S surface
on the races scattered over ii.
A well-trained lawyer is not one

how to put his hand on anything he
wants
In the same way it is more i'm
portant to be able to get at your
facts than to know them.

THE LITTLE VALLEYS.

"HE little valleys lie so far
From where the busy cities are
That men may live and men may
die
And never find them where they lie,
The little valleys near the sky.
Shut in by plain and sturdy hills
That feed the grasses with their rills.
The little valleys do not seem
A part of all life's roaring stream
But just a landscape and dream.
A few green acres, that is all.
The mountains like a garden wall
In quiet peace TO shut them in,
To shut away the dirt, the din,
And all the world OF noisy sin.
And. oh, wish that weary feet
Could find the little valleys sweet =
And. oh, wish the weary heart
That feels the bruises of the mart
Could find this little world apart!
Goods gardens" so | call the wales
Up yonder by the mountain trails;
And you who cry for heavens aid
You will not find il, I'm afraid.
Where man his busy world has made.
You must come tramping over hills,
Come follow singing whip-pOor-will
Must journey long and Chamber high
To where Gods hidden gardens lie
The little valleys near the sky.
