ESCAPE PATIENT
 CAUSE OF FURORE
Inmates of ChiIdren's Home Safeguarded
 Against Diphtheria

Boston, Aug. 19-(UP)-The 25 in- mates of the Nickerson Home for Children in Roxbury were kept in- doors today while doctors considered whether they had been imperilled by the visit of an escaped diphtheria patient.
 Billy Smith. 12-year-old orphan, went to the home, where he for merly was an inmate, after fleeing early yesterday from the contagious ward of City Hospital. At the time of his escape, physi- clans said he had been under treat ment for diphtheria since July 3 and was so far recovered he could not spread the disease.
 An attendant of the home saw a newspaper story of Billy's escape and notified hospital authorities, who returned him to the contagious ward.
 Soon after his escape, Billy ap- peared at the home of woman friend of his late mother. Before continuing his travels, he left her this reassuring note:
 You need not be afraid, because I did not have dip when I came in last night. They way know I have not got dip is because they put me on the ward where you have toncles out and got all good culgers."

ALBANIANS SEE
 ITALIAN SHIPS
Two Cruisers and De.
 stroyer Arrive at Dur. ago on Coast

Rome, Aug. 19-(UP)-Count Ga- leazzo Ciano, foreign minister, flew to Tirana. Albania, today to inspect public works including roads built since Italy's occupation.
 It was announced before he left that two Italian cruisers, the Duca Degli Abruzzi and the Giuseppe Garibaldi, and the destroyer Quar- to had arrived at Durazzo on the Albanian coast.
 Automatically the newest devel- opment was a conference last night between Premier Benito Mussolini and Ciano and Count Stephen Csaky, Hungarian foreign minister. Before Ciano and Csaky went to Mussolini's Venice palace for the talk, they had had two conferences together. Csaky had arrived here from Berlin.
 It was said authoritatively that Ciano and Csaky had reviewed Hungary's position in the interna- tional situation in the light of the Polish-G German dispute. Csaky's visit was unheralded, and special importance was given the visit n the eyes of foreign observers because on his arrival he went at ono to see Ciano, who postponed several engagements-including one to receive William Phillips. Aineri- can ambassador-in order to sec Csaky immediately.
 As regard Poland, the press gen. orally continued to assert that Pc. land ought to negotiate with Ger many.

 Over 50,000 persons were expected to view the afternoon parade in which Governor Leverett Saltonstall, clad in his Legion uniform, will march.
 Festive highlight of yesterdays program was the 40 and units night parade, replete With ridiculous cos- tunes and lighted floats.
 At yesterdays session, delegates silently received the suggestion of Wilfred Jacobs, state commander of the eVterans of Foreign Wars, that the time had come to seek general pension for every World war veteran
 Delegates apparently recalled a recent warning of their national commander against supporting pro- posed legislation for straight pen- sions, principally because of current economic conditions.
 Shortly after Jacobs had told them they should solidly get to- gether behind straight out-and-out pensions" delegates disclosed that a sesolution, which would have had the Massachusetts department seek enactment of general pension legis- lation at the next session of con- gress, had been sidetracked.

NEW NURSING
 COURSE ADDED
Boston University Intro- duces Special Subjects
 for Coming Term

With the opening of Boston Uni- versity in September, the establish- ment of a new Division of Nursing Education, study programs culmin- ating in Bachelors and Masters de- grees, under the University school of education endorsed by the Mas sachuSetts League of Nursing Edu- cation will take place, according to the announcement of Dr. Daniel L.. Marsh, president, and Jesse B. Da- wis, dean.
 This step, according to the an- nounccment, is based on the gen. uine interest in university and de- gree study evidenced last year by a large representation group of Mas sachusetts' 17,000 nurses and others in the rest of New England.
 Based on the program of courses for graduate nurses conducted as an experiment during last year, the new division will have at its head Miss Martha Ruth Smith. R. N., M.

Miss Smith will assume hre duties with the opening of the university in September. The university division of nursing educa- ton will introduce more courses in the technical field and students will have an opportunity to counsel with Miss Smith in planning their pro- grams of study. It will be the only offering of its kind in New England, providing as 1t does, 8 major pro- gram for training teachers and su- pervisors in the nursing schools. The exploratory study last year was the result of combined research by special committee appointed by the directors of the Massaohu- sets League of Nursing Education in cooperation with Boston Univer- sity. It included studin in Current Trends in American Nursing" "Orientation to the Feld of Nursing Education" n d Educational Psychology"
 Better preparation for nursing as a profession seems to be desired by nurses, the Boston University au- thorities said, judging by the re- sponse to the program initiated & year ago. Miss Smith, who will join the University faculty as full pro- lessor, is a native of Lebanon, N. H. and holds degrees of B. s. in M. A. from Teachers College, Columbia University. She Is a graduate of the Peter Bent Brigham School of Nursing in 1919 and also has at- tended the University of Wisconsin.

H.; instructor, Samar- itan Hospital, Troy, N. r.; instruc- tor of nursing, Simmons College school of nursing; instructor in nursing education for years in Teachers College, Columbia.
