COURSE FOR NURSES

The subjoined letter to Superin-
tendent C. v. Shoemaker, of the
Shenandoah County Schools, is self
explanatory.
The course of nursing offered by
the Medical College of Virginia is of
high standard and ranks with the
best schools in the United States.
The letter reads:
Richmond, Va, October 26, 1925.
Dear Sir:
Some time ago l had the pleasure
of sending you our catalogs of the
schools of medicine, dentistry and
pharmacy. Today you have been
sent catalogs of our school of nurs-
ing and also the catalog of the st.
Philip Hospital training school
The training school at ST. Philip
Hospital, property of the college, is
for colored nurses and is an organ
ization unique in this section of the
United States. This hospital is ex-
beds for 176 children and adults,
and training school of 81 nurses.
The school of nursing of the Med
zeal College of Virginia (of course.
for white nurses) is an integral part
of the college with its dean The re-
quirement for entrance to this school
is high school graduation; few spe-
cial students with two or three years
of high school, who are at least 81
years of age, may be taken
II has lately been decided to begin
special preliminary term for
nurses who will be considered MEM
bers of the class of 1927, provided
they are matriculated in the near flu
ture. The length of the course is
two years and eight months instead
OF three years. This adjustment is
made because the entrance require
ment is high school graduation.
! am taking the liberty of sending
you this information because nursing
education, find, is part of the ed
ucational process which great many
people are not acquainted with.
A short time ago, Mrs Sanger and
were most happily surprised in the
receipt of a handsome gift of silver
from the division superintendent
Your committee charged with this
delightfully."- generous expression oil
good wishes has been written to ane
! hope personally to speak to ths
division superintendent as | hav.
opportunity. The gift is truly ap
preciated far beyond my ability t.
make you understand the real degre,
OF appreciation.
Sincerely yours,
w. T. SANGER. Pres.

CHICKEN STEALING GETS START

Nocturnal poultry fanciers are

Gently
Last week. Deputy Sheriff w. E.
Roller, living on the Shenandoah
River east of Woodstock, lost about
so chickens through the raids of the
roost thieves who follow this line of
livelihood, and Mrs. Emma Neeb,
whose home is just on the western
outskirts of town, lost many of her
flock through stealing.
Poultry stealing is probably the
most reprehensible form of petty
thieyery, and there are some folks
who, like the lilies, toll not and
neither do they spin. who exc out a
living by proving around at night,

No one advocates, out loud, heroic
treatment of chicken thieves, but it
would be well for poultrymen to keep

STATE CHAIRMAN
ISSUES A CALL
Asks That Democrats Register Their
Full Strength At Polls
To the Democratic Voters of vir

To the Democratic Voters of vir-
ginia:
On Tuesday, November third, falls
the general election, with a full
democratic ticket in the field OPP
posed by the Republican aspirants.
As chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, call upon all support
ars of the party, both men and wo-
men, to rally to the polls on the day
of election and there register, in so
far as may be possible, the full
strength al the party vote
The progressive policies advocated
by the Democratic standard bearers
as well as their proven ability and
high character, entitle them to the
support of the Virginia electorate.
A demonstration of strength at
the polls is not alone the due of our
candidates, headed by the Hon.
Harry F. Byrd, next governor of vir-
ginia, but is important by reason of
the TACT that the representation of
every county and city in the pre-
convention, or any other
State Democratic Convention held
within the next four years, will be
based upon the vote cast in this gen.
eral election.
The Democratic government of
this Democratic State, headed by
Democratic leaders. requests and
deserves the full support of the vot-
ers. Measured by the primary, the
Democratic voting strength totaled
174,S96. Confirmation in the gem
eral election of the vote of conf
dence in the recent primary would be
very gratifying to party standard
bearers. And, as chairman of your
State Central Committee, l call upon
the Democrats of Virginia to regis
ter their full strength at the polls.

The source of the flames is an

past few months the fire may have
originated from spontaneous com
bustion in the quantity of hay stored.

ward making this country a safer
place in which to live.
SAFETY PROGRAM.
The Hoover Conference on State
and Highway Safety marked the be.
ginning of movement that united all
interests - governmental, commercial,
industrial, philanthropic and political
in a crusade against the great waste
in human lives and property.
What can be done by educational
methods is Well illustrated in one sen.
tenee of the report recently submitted
to me by one Of the safety directors
of our company:
"The garage department has set a
pace for all others with no acct
dent record since the first Of January,
1925. The gas plant is close second,
with only one accident since January
first"
From present indications, the year
1926 will probably see the greatest
strides made in safety methods of any
year since its inception, because of the
fact that every employer and public
official, who has given any attention
to what has been done in the past,
realizes that lives can be saved and
property can be protected by safety

SAFE Ty DRIVE
PROGRESSES
IN s. A.
General Public Interested
in Move to Cut Death
Toll, Says Expert.
BY E. H. KIFER
Vice President Bexnr County Safety
Council.

Public officials, employer and EN-
ploye, safety engineers and philau-
thropists, can all point with unrestrict-
ed pride to the general public inter-
est that has been eyiuced during the
last year in efforts to remove the
causes of death-dealing accidents and
wasteful property distinctions.
Any review of the progress made in
this very important matter, feel,
should begin at home, for the city Of
ficials of San Antonio have more
than kept pace with the general safety
movement that is sweeping the coun-
try.
Mayor John w. Tobin has cooper
ated whole-heartedly with the Bexar
County Safety Council in its educa-
tional program; its efforts to remove
accident hazards on our streets, and
its work with the last state Legisla-
ture.
The police and fire departments
have completed surveys of other cities,
and devised programs affecting the de-
partment looking 20 safety on our
streets, and have adopted traffic meth
DDS that have proved successful in
other cities. Vigorous campaigns have
been waged against traffic violators,
and traffic has been so regulated as
TO avoid congestion and delays.
SIGNALS HELP.
Commissioner Wright and Chief
Miller have given consideration to
many plans submitted by interested
citizens relative to state and high
way safety, and are at present study
ing boulevarding, traffic lane methods,
intersection signal lights, and more
comprehensive method of accident re-
ports. The signal lights installed at
dangerous crossings in the residence
districts have proven almost 100 per
cent perfect, and that system will be
greatly extended in the near future.
Commissioner Steffler of the street
department, in his efforts to eliminate
blipI corners, offset streets, sharp
cLrb corners and cut down the crown
Of our payements, has eliminated the
cause of many accidents.
The organization Of the State Coun-
ell of Safety, and its support by the
railroads, oil companies, public SER
vice companies and general public, at
tests the progressive spirit Of Texas in
the matter of protection for its citi-
gems. The National Safety Council,
June 1918 to 1925, inclusive, spent
$2,064,647.02, while it is estimated
that there is annually spent by local
safety councils more than $3.50, 000,-
100 in the promotion Of public safety.
In June of this year there were 1898
active members, representing 5000
