A LTHOCtfH the Indian girls OF
~ North America are descend
~ ants from savages, they are
bound by many extremely de-
mure and rather boresome conven-
tions---that is. boresome in the eyes
OF the average modern American girl.
For instance. after an Indian girl
is fifteen years old, she is considered
by the older Indians as being be-
yond childhood with its careless
pleasures, and she must not engage
in such frivolitics as even gymnasium
dancing, which. i'll the eyes of her
elders. is too much like the heather
customs of ages past. After fifteen
the average Indian girl is expected
to sit at home and learn to make a
home, do bead work, dress skins and
never play.
on the other hand. the young In
dian woman who has been taught
by the white women new activities to
engage in, and new ambitions and
ideals, finds herself confronted with
such restrain and diSapproval as the
widest fiapper of gay American girls
would meet with.
SO an Indian princess. daughter oi
Sioux chief. and Il leader in the
y. w. c. A. work. has been invited by
the superintendent of education of
the Indian service in the United
States to demonstrate this year be-
fore the girls of more than fifty
American Indian tribes at Haskell In
stitute what physical education work
should mean. In her capacity. she
finds a principal feature of her work
to be the Interpretation of spirit and
ideals between the beliefs and GUS
toms of the older Indians and the
modern Indian tiappers.
The latest statistics available show
that there are about $4,000 Indians
in this country today, and of these
about 43,470 are Indian girls of school
age. There are Y. w. &. A. secre-
taries on 113 of the reservations to

BETTER NURSING SCHOOLS

Nursing, a profession, is at last receiving the
recognition it deserves from the higher institutions of
learning Two universities, Yale and Western Reserve,
have recently established schools of nursing
ton with their medical and academic departments.
In these schools receive the best of specaliz
ed training and at the same. time acquire broader
foundation education than under any previous train
ing system. Antioch College, too, is offering fine
nursing curse under slightly different plan. Student
nurses there spend half their time in sefsupportng
occupation and half their time at college That is,
they alternate fveweek periods of nursing training at
one of the most progressive hospitals in Ohio with five
week period in academic class rooms.
This new trend toward combining liberal educa
ton with the technical requirements of in
nursing of the most helpful phases of the
ing popular interest in health Nurses now like doc
tors no longer confine their attention to caring for
the sick-although they are doing that very well In
deed But they devote good deal OF time and thought
to constructive health work. promoting health educa-
ton through public schools and clinics and nstructing
patients and parents and boys and girls IN the ways
of keeping WELL
There has been shortage of nurses in recent years,
but this new educational movement is attracting IN

Tore because the government did have the equip

has been organized, under the control of the Coast

That navy is nothing to laugh at. The mere list

hearts of smuggers There are 20 destroyers of the
World War type to form the battle line of the fleet
There is secondary squadron of mine sweepers-pre-
sumably to sweep up the discriminating evidence
thrown overheard by fleeing smuggers-and about 800
swift, dependable motor boats of various sizes for
scout work and shore patrol
Hereafter the rum-runners infesting the New York
and New Jersey coast will no longer have the ad-
vantage of the government. The federal fleet should
be numerous and strong enough to catch them and
smash them There will be real fights if the
continue playing their daring game. The destroyers
and armed motor boats will shoot when necessary, and
shoot to kill sink. There will be thrilling stories of
battles from time to time to convince the public
that government is still government of law
