On the definition of professional"

Well, wonders the administrator, Ell

fessional? He is usually so considered.
Then, is q registered nurse profess

registered nurses would like to know.
How about the chemist? The
architect? The accountant? The
chiropodist and the pediatrist? The
barber. and the beautician? The

are also exempt.
But the bureaucratic photographers
have defined those capacities to their
own satisfaction. The one rock in the
way to loosen the wage-hours law on
the Nation is that simple little four
syllable word, professional" heri-

from the days of Rome, where the
speakers of Latin long ago made up
the word profession" from pro and

Leading the pack on the definition s
scent is Calvert Magrauder of Mary
land, a graduate OF the Harvard Law
School, counsel for the original Labor
Relations Board Of 1894, which died
when the N. r. A. died, and now coun-
sci for the Wage Hour Administrat ton.
