THE LADY WITH THE
.. SCRUBBING BRUSH

The birthday of Florence Nightin-
gale, May IL, is an annual reminder
of the Importance of little things to
all who have been helped back to
health and usefulness by the train
ed ministrations of professional
nurses. 1t was little things like
soap, water, scrubbing brushes and
brooms that "the lady with the
lamp" first used to elevate the mem
ial labor of sick nursing into pro-
fession whose members are among
the most useful and hOnored women.
When in 1854, during the Crimean
War, Florence Nightingale ap-
proach the military hospitals, few
Of her companions disclosed roman
tic notions about soothing the brows
of fevered soldiers notions which
she quickly dispelled. "The strong
est of us will be needed at the wash
tubs" she declared, a statement
which proved only too true.
1t was the washtub and all that
the washtub stood for that animated
Miss Nightingale's enterprises. AS
she herself wrote she was really
cook, hOusekeeper, scayenger, wash
er woman, general dealer, and store
keeper" Among her first tasks was
the distribution of soap. towels,
knives and forks, combs and tooth
brushes. It was her cleanliness
prictaces which revolutionized the
nursing profession, and which
brought into the stuffy sickroom of
the old-fashioned home the sanitary
trio of soap, water and sunlight.

ough care of professional or anna
teur nurse may we'll thank Florence

NEW STANDARD FUR
 ALASKA TEACHERS IS
 ANNOUNCED BY KELLER

Standards of new requirements for teaching certificates for Alaska schools are ct be raised, effective with the beginning of the next school year, 1t was announced by w. K. Keller, Territorial Commis- sioner of Education.
 The new standards will conform to those followed by the Board of Educatio nof the State of Washing ton and made effective September l, last.
 Our law requires US to base our standards for teachers on those of Washington, and ill order that the long existing harmonious relations between Alaska's public school Sys- tenn and Washington States educa- tional institutions may be con- tinued, it is necessary for US to keep pace with that States require ments for teaching" Mir Keller said.
 Until this year, tWo-year course in a normal school was all that was required of a teacher for ele- mentary schools, and for junior high and high schools, four years in college or university. Effective September l, last, Washington raised it's standard to require one quarter additional work for both elementary and high schools for 1881, two-quarters additional for 1892, and three quarters additional for 1883.
 "The Department of Eduction ill Alaska will require that teachers in the accredited schools in the Territory meet the requirements for certificates set by the Univer- Sity of Washington in order that our harmonious relations with that school may be continued" MT. Kel- Ter said "Accreditation of second ary schools in Alaska has carried with it privileges of having grad uates of those institutions admitted to the University on the same basis as graduates of accredited high schools in that State. The Terri torial school law further specifics that in the accreditation of schools, the Commissioner of Education shall be guided by the standards set by the above named institution"
