A Twelve-Hour Day
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May 1 give a few facts for the
benefit of those who, like "Brooklyn,'
know little about the life and expenses
of trained nurse?
nurse goes on duty at Z O'Clock in
the morning. Her entire time for
twelve hourss belongs to the stranger
into whose house she has been called
If the patient so wishes, not one min
ute of that twelve hours NAV the nurse
call her own. In most cases she is
working hard the entire time, besides
having the responsibility of a human
life on her hands. She comes off DUTY
at p. m. without having had glimpse
of the outdoor world in daylight. Has
she earned her six dollars?
Brooklyn may, by inquiry, find that
the twelve-hour duty nurse from &C
credited registries charges only Sc. Her
food is paid for. Her laundry is not.
She must be spotless as regards uni
form (Which she pays IS cents to have
laundered) and all other articles of
apparel. She must have a room to live
in, for which, regardless of the falling
cost of living, she is still fortunate if
she pays less than $12 a week. This
expense goes on regardless of the time
she is on a case.
There are times when calls are
scarce. Nurses may be idle, though not
given to strikes. Meals, laundry, room,
all these expenses go on. No, Brook
lyn," long ago we learned our lesson.
We did twenty -four hour duty, we
broke down in health from long hours
and overwork, giving of our very life
blood, sometimes, for those who appre-
clated it just as little as you would
seem to. AS trained nurses we are not
asking for sympathy nor for our rights.
All we demand of the public which we
so willingly serve is a square deal.

Wine and Beer Compromise
Suggestions to Congress by the SDetermnation League

To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Having expended considerable
OF my own money and devoted a gooe
part of my time at my own expense fo,
over two years past in the attempt tt
help solve the prohibition problem,
claim to be fairly competent to discuss
this ever recurring question.
For the benefit of the many novicce
and enthusiasts who are engaged in the
pleasing pastime of chasing rainbows
and at the same time kidding" them.
selves into believing that they are 60
ing to upset things generally as far as
prohibition is concerned, the Eighteenth
Amendment included, permit me to say
that they are as far off as ever from
accomplishing their object and are
only confusing an already badly mixed
situation. They are shooting in the
air"
Apparently without the slightest idea
as to the magnitude of their task and
devoid of definite object of a practi-
cal nature, they merrily continue on
their way, regardless of the fact that
they are doing exactly what the Anti.
Saloon League wants them to do. The
latter glibly tells those who do not like
the Eighteenth Amendment that thew
can repeal it. How? When? Where
The public is weary of nonsense
Even those who are constitutionally
opposed to prohibition are listless
apathetic, hopeless, for the simple rea-
son that all attempts to change the
situation have failed. And failure it
will continue to be until there is an
application of common sense.
On June IA last I submitted 70
members Of Congress proposition
looking toward a solution of this cues
ton, and, judging from the many favor

Do Nurses Prohteer?
Further Replies to Critic Who Com
planned of Reduced Hours
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS a constant reader and ad-
mirer Of The Tribune over thirty
five years and also as mother Of a
trained nurse, / feel obliged to an
swer the question, "Do trained nurses
profiteer?' asked by "Brooklyn." Right
here let me say: No!
The assertion that they have cut
their hours in half is only partially
true. Where 1t is necessary for curse
to do twenty-four hours duty she al
ways does it, on cali at any hour or
more often minute of the twenty four
hours.
The charges vary according to the
hours on duty and the financial condi-
ton of the family, a reduction being
made where it seems exorbitant to
charge the full price, which nurses
earn at the expense of giving up sleep,
meals when necessary and every bit
of vitality and strength they possess.
Another phase of the situation is that
ldDOCIOuS,
the discipline sometimes most humili-
ating, the pay almost nothing for two
or three years. Many young women
give up training after short time be-
cause they have not the courage or the
strength to see it through.
am acquainted with many of the
profession, as I have motherod rao,v
of them who are away from home in
training and know whereof I speak.
They earn every cent they get and are
usually worn out after ten years of
service.
"Do trained nurses proiteer?" Most
emphatically they do not.

absurdity was reached when Congress
prescribed one bottle of wine in ten

power to determine what is an intoxi-

to such harmless and health giving
drinks as light wines and beer, the
alcoholic content of same not to exceed
II per cent for wines and not over Az
Per cent for beer; to be sold in places
where they are not to be consumed on
the premises (thus automatically elimi-
mating the saloon), except in hotels,
clubs and restaurants, the status of

hotels to have not less than fifty
rooms, clubs to be bona fde places of

kitchen facilities capable of feeding a
required number of people; the quality
OF wine and beer to be of specified
standard, with heavy penalty for in

Why should girl of refinement and
education give up three of the best
years of her life to training as a nurse
when, with less training in business,
the same girl can earn as much in prs-
portion as the nurse, working eigh1
hours a day. having no night WORK,
with her Saturday afternoon, Sundays
and holidays free and yearly vaca-
ton, when the nurse works twelve
hours a day. and is earning nothing
unless she is working those twelve
hours a day?
A nurse who earns more than 81 600
year, even at 81 day, while she has
work, is rare, and that after she has
taken years to educate herself to the
standard for trained nurses.

from one to five years more than is
needed to get the same amount of
education. The rate of progress is so
slow that eight out of ten are far
behind their proper grades.
The cause of this shocking condi-
ton is the medieval plan of grading.
All that is needed to produce ideal re-
suits is plan which will make it
possible for each pupil to advance as
able, in place of all having to wait on
the slowest. This does not require
the adjustment of the grades, but
does demand that they be made to fit
the needs of the pupils instead of for
ever forcing all to fit the arbitrary
ironbound grades. Pupils must be ac-
curately classified.
Where a proper plan is in use, many
benefits are apparent. Eight out of ten
gain time and education, in place of
that number losing time, as at present.
All receive better training. Elimina-
ton of repetition saves more than $40
pupil each year. Because of increased
rate OF advancement the school plant
takes care of onethird more pupils
each six years. Lower grades are not
congested. Glasses are not overcrowd-
ed. No pupils need be on part time
There is not constant demand for new
buildings. The tax rate no longer
hovers around the danger point.
Every school can have these and
other advantages as soon as the people
demand them. Is it not time thew
do so? WILLIAM J. SHEAVER

Sir: l read with a great deal Of
interest letter by Harry Klnger ir
last Sundays Tribune in regard to tn,
causes of Americas entrance into the
war and Colonel Harvey's exposition
OF them. 1t seems to me, however, tina,
Mr. klinger is in error when he i'm.
plies that the defeat Of the League and
the treaty were due to any failure or
their part to measure up to the ideals
voiced by President Wilson during the
war.
Mr. Klinger says: at was this star
ting reversal to imperialistc
policies which killed the Treaty
of Versailles. The irreconcilables didn't
do it. They merely needed to point out
what had happened. The American
people woke up with shock
to the fact that they seemed to
be the only people represented at the
peace table by a government which
still believed that the world should
now be organized on a new basis so
as to end war"
President Wilson did not "fail" at
Paris. 1t is true that he met with i'm
periaistic opposition, yet he defeated
this opposition at every turn and Sc
cured treaty entirely consistent with
the great war ideals. 1t may be that
President Wilson was the only states
man that went to the conference de-
termlned upon League of Nations.
But the fact remains that every dip
lomat left the conference with his sig
nature and the signature of his coun-
try upon the League of Nations, and
the people CT every country accepted
this league except America. And why
did America fail? Was it, as Mr.
Ringer has suggested, because the
American people felt that the treaty
tailed to measure up to the war ideals :?
If we recall the attacks which were
made upon the treaty in this country,
we find that nearly every attack was
made not from the dealistic stand
point but from the materialistic one.
Few Senators ever rose to condemn the
League because the provisions for the
