Another HON. Rul. Movement

There is also Scottish Home Rule association
as we learn from circular received from Glasgow,
called manifesto of the association, signed by WI
liam GALLAGHER, president, and r. E. Muirhead secre-
tary. 1t begins with congratulation Of the British
for its disposition of the Irish question
the setting up of the Free state with Donin-
ion status The manifesto then states that since the
principle self government for the nations now com
prising the British empire has been conceded, it
naturally follows that the question Of Devoution in
Great Britain should arise 1t be regarded
If nothing had happened when the Irish matter had
been disposed Of.
Says the manifesto:
Scotland is a Nation in every OF the word.
less than Ireland, and her claims to set-govern-
ment can no longer be overlooked. The Scottish
people for long period Of time convinced
of the justice and necessity OF this principle.
every parliament for many years a majority Of the
Scottish members have been pledged to Home Rule
for Scotland" During the last decade the demand
for self-government has strengthened enormously,
and the vision Of Scottish parliament sitting in
Edinburgh legisating for Scotland, has caught and
held the ginaon of the Scottish people We have
refraned from pressing our claims as actively as
might have done belief in the priority
OF the claims Of Ireland to self government. AS a
necessary consequence of the Irish settlement we
respectfully urge that it is Scotlands turn to
be considered. We therefore, call upon his Males
tvs government to direct their attention Immediately
to this question OF Home Rule for Scotland; to give
it precedence every other political issue; to
legisatng for Scotland from Westminster, and
to pass into law forthwith measure self govern
ment suited the needs and circumstances Of Scot
land and satisfactory to the Scottish people,"
We believe that the Scottish movement for home
rule win have long way to go before 1t will even
tuate in anything. The relation established by the
Act OF Union between England and Scotland Is quite
different that relation which had been imposed
upon Ireland for centuries There is not in Scotland
background centuries Of bitterness. Scot
land has not been ruled by England. Its history
since the Act Of Union be separated from that
OF England 1t left by the Act with its old laws
and with It's recognized church and with all the
privileges that the citizens of England enjoy II has
definite representation in parliament 1t is sepa-
rated from England by natural barrier. 1t is
part of Great Britain while Ireland always dis

1t is not easy for an American to grasp the
ntrlcaces Of British politics And certainly Britons
fail to understand own system which to US is
model Of simplicity. We have two parties is
always trying to stay in and the other out always
trying To get in. We have factions at times within
parties but usually the struggle is only for control
with only secondary regard for policies.
British parties are less sharply divided. from
another. Lines are shifting as statesnen's minds
change with regard to policies changed by
exgencies. There, statesmen have higher regard
for the state than for party An evidence Of that
is seen in frequent coalition cabinets
ment which would be practically impossible in this
country. The nearest thing have to
coalition cabinet in Lincolns administration in
which he had members unfriendly to him to pacate
certain elements but STILL they all Republicans.
In Great Britain see now statesmen anxious
to compose their differences in the face Of disadvan
tage to the Men who not friendly to LLOYD

now they believe would be disastrous 1t would be
a remarkable spectacle for opposing American

the army nurse school is the oppor-
tunity for physical and cultural de-
velopment. The recreationai lectures
and the classes in basketry and 9TH
er vocational subjects that are held
for the soldiers at the hospital are
open TO the student nurses. At Wall
ter Reed school last year a nature
enthusiast took the girls on outdoor
trips in the spring and summer
months. Then there are basketball,
swimming and tennis, and gymnasium
classes under an army specialist in
physical culture.
Major Stimson is enthusiastic about
the army school.

says. And at the last two exam

Qualification Standards High
1--WE keep the standard of the
school high. Only high school grad

college graduates are allowed credit

the course down for them to a lit

starting another class in March. and

Miss Stimson receives many inter-

to be nurses, and sometimes from
their mothers. One mother wrote from
a western farm to know all about the

IT'S POLICE

has nothing to do with the political
contest.
But the suggestion is hereby made
TO the incoming administration that
the office, or position, of policeman
be stabilized. We have lately heard
ugly stories about policemen dis
charged for interfering with privi-
lodged vice, and finding no ear OF
authority into which the facts could
be poured. These stories are either
true or false. In either case the pub
lie should make their temperance in
political campaign impossible.
For If these stories are false their
rehearsal, even in private. is due to
the circumstance that there has been
no public hearing of the facts alleged,
nor any publication of the findings.
Yet the matter involved is of prime
concern TO the public. If facts are
not given. by persons charged with
that trust, lies. or half-truths. will
be circulated and the public becomes
confused and uneasy. When politi-
cal campaign is on this is the un-
buried carcass which is first dis
turbed and which lends 70 the contest
that vile odor so generally deplored.
If the stories are true, here is
condition to make Americans hang
their heads in shame Things alleged
against the police department. in re-
cent weeks are crimes. not mere po-
litical misdeueanors. and should have
the undivided attention OF a. compe-
tent court until they are settled.
We believe the qualifications of the
ordianry patrolman should be raised.
Even though better men made the
police department twice as expensive
as II is at present, it would be
saving to the city in the long run, for
efficiency is the cheapest thing in the
world.

WASHINGTON. d. C.-That the
Army school of nursing will soon be
made an integral part of the Army
organization is the hope of Major
Stimson, superintendent of the Army
nurse corps.
The nurse corps believes in pre-
paredness for service-in peace or an
emergency. And pl eparedness. from
the point of view Of the corps mears
a training school for nurses. cores
ponding in q. general way with the
training school for officers at West
Point.
We have such a school. but it ex-
ists only by an order OF the Sec
retary of War. This may be a per-
manent enough existence, but il has
an indefinite sound. Congress is to
be asked, therefore, to give this i'm
portant school a military status so
that it may be part of the Army
and so that the student nurses may
have the relative rank OF cadets in
stead of the status of civilian em-
ployees of the Medical Department
of the Army.
Until the recent war the Army
maintained a small standing corps
of nurses in time of peace and when
it needed large numbers, recruited
Service. But during the World War
the Army opened it's own training
school to fit women for service, and
it proved a successful venture. The
first class of 500 young women was
graduated last June. They served
during their training at Walter Reed
and Letterman General Hospitals,
and other Army hospitals in this
country, and in that way rendered
valuable service.
The school of nursing cannot use
all of its graduates in ordinary times.
but those who are not needed 80 out

ilian fields Some of the Army
nurse graduates have gone into the
newest line of nursing, public health
work Others have gone into private
hospitals, homes. Institutions, and
factories. There is need for every
one of them, for there are never
enough nurses graduated from first
class schools. il seems. 1t is be-
cause of this great need for well
trained nurses and because it is an
economy to the Government to get
its nursing done partly by students
as most hospitals do-that the Army
school of nursing expects to continue

THE CITY OF TOMORROW
BY c. D. YoAKUM

We admit that the present police
men are efficient according TO the
standard by which they were selected.
but our contention is, that the nature
of the policeman's job has long been
misconceived
He should be not merely the laws
strong arm bringing in wrong doers,
caught in the act, but should be the
alert scout OF righteousness and de-
cency as we'll. using his enlightened
imagination to control tendencies that
are contrary to the public peace and
happiness.
Men can be secured for this work.
but naturally they will demand po-
sition whose dignity is commensurate
with the ability they bring to it..
Such policemen win need to feel that
they are supported by the most de-
liberate instruments of public opin-
ion. No one man can be given the
autocratic right TO hire and fire
them.
The change here suggested ought
10 meet with the most fervent ap-
proval of the chief of police. His own
position would be automatically ele-
vated Freed OF the burden of criti-
cism from this source the police de-
partment might pursue very much
bolder policy with satisfaction to it
self and benefit TO the public.
We further suggest that all police
men should be trained for the job.
Policemen are practical sociologists
who come into most immediate con-
tact with sociological problems; 1t is
only fair 70 them 10 instruct them in
the fundamentals of the science be-
fore equipping them with the star
and the club. we understand that
schools OF this tyre have been estab-
iished anS. are in successful opera
ton: wouldn't it be wise for Phoenix
to look up some of their graduates
and hire them, regardless of creed
politics or nationality?

We recognize that the three men who will take

Military Status For Army Nurses

stration rooms fitted out like camp
with dummies dressed in khaki TO be
used as models for dressing imag-
mary wounds.
You find, however. that there is
very little of the emergency atmo-
sphere in the school, Hospital and
transportation facilities for wartime
nursing have been developed so
highly during the late war that the
Army nurse can count on having
practically the same apparatus as the
nurse in any civilian hospital
Nor is the Army nurse taught only
the technique needed in treating
battle cases. She goes through the
same course of training that the civ
ilian nurse does. From diet in COM
municable diseases to public sani-
tation, the various kinds of therapy,
hospital architecture, oral hygiene,
and industrial and school nursing run
the subjects with which she is ex-
pected to be familiar when she is
graduated. Knowledge of all these
subjects may not be required in line
of duty in the Army, but the school
fits its students for service any
where.
One OF the instructors points out
with patriotic pride that the Army
school is one of the few schools of
nursing in the country that is able
to cover the entire course recon-
mended by the League of Nursing
Education.
"The Army can do this said the
nurse instructor, because the stu
dents are on ward duty less than in
most hospitals. And then, too, there
are so many instructors from the
Army Medical School who can be
called on to lecture for us.
Corps of Army Instructors
Where the private hospital must
depend on q small faculty of doc
tors to give private lectures on all
sorts of medical subjects. the Army
school can have specialist in every
subject from among the army doc
tors stationed at Walter Reed or at
the medical school. These doctors
who lecture for US do so by army
orders. It is part of their regular
work. We have 25 of these instruc-
tors giving lectures TO one class in
the school,
Besides the unusual opportunity of
studying with so many specialists,
the army nurse student has an op-
portunity to visit and study in other
hospitals. There is no provision for
teaching public health at Walter
Reed nor Tor mental nursing nor the
care OF children nor maternity cases.
For these subjects the army affil-
iates with hospitals specializing in
such cases. Students spend at least
a third Of their years in these other
hospitals. For public health nurs-
ing they have been going to the ia
nous Henry street settlement in New
York and for other subjects TO New
York, Massachusetts. Pennsylvania
and to st. EIizabeths. the govern
