NURSES RENAME
ANNA SHERRICk
BOHEMIAN GIRL AGAIN CHOSEN
PRESIDENT: TWO TRAINING
PLANS APPROVED

The state board of examiners for
nurses reelected Anna Pearl Sherrick
of Bozeman president and approved
two plans designed to speed prelim-
mary training Of Montana nurses.
Anna T. Beckwith of Helena was
elected secretary. She had been act
ing secretary since the resignation
several months ago Of Edith L. Brown.
Miss Beckwith said one plan would
permit credit toward nursing diplo-
ma for college students with credits
in chemistry, bacteriology. zoology, So
GEOLOGY and psychology. She explained
that credit would be given in direct
proportion to the amount Of study &C
Quired in those fields and that maxi
mum Of six months credit In the nurs-
ing curricula would be given those with
college degrees that include the speci-
fled science courses.
The board now is ready to examine
the plan of any Montana school for
nurses to credit students for college
work completed before the student en-
tered the nursing school. Miss Beck
with said the plan was approved to
enable Montana college students to
obtain credit for their work, and that
many of them had been leaving Mon
tana to study nursing in states where
such credit had been allowed.
The board approved plan of two
Montana schools of nursing, St. James
at Butte and Consolidated Deaconess
with units at Great Falls and Boze-
man, for special summer course in
prescribed sciences prior to admittance
to the nursing schools. The time spent
in the course will be included in the
regular three-year nursing course.
Miss Beckwith said the plan will be
started this summer and run for 10
weeks to give students special training
in anatomy, bacteriology and chemis-
try. Beginning dates will be announced
by the schools.
With a commendation for good
basic nursing courses" the board APP
proved for 1912 operation these Mon
tana nursing institutions: Billings
Deaconess at Billings, Columbus at
Great Falls, Consolidated at Great
Falls and Bozeman, Holy Rosary at
Miles City. Sacred Heart at Havre, St.
James at Butte, st. Johns at Helena,
st. Joseph'S at LewistoWn, St. Pat
rick's at Missoula and st. Vincent's at
Billings.

PLAN OF MUSEUM
GAINS APPROVAL
RANGE RIDERS BUILDING PROF.
ECT AT MILES CITY
NEARS REALITY

Architects plans for the proposed
Range Riders museum were formally
approved at the joint meeting Of the
members Of the Range Riders Round
up. Inc, and the Miles City Kiwanis
club.
The plans were presented by Dale
Wilder, past president Of the Range
Riders, who was instructed to have the
plans reduced to blueprints and speci-
fications.
The picture of the proposed museum
meets with the requirements for the
housing Of relics and mementoes Of the
open range days, and such other ar
ticles which possess historical value.
Under the procedure adopted, Wilder
was instructed to begin negotiating
for the securing Of the logs.
With the drawing Of the specifica-
lions, the proposed building will have
an overall front of around 80 feet,
with an appropriate depth.
Wilder will consult with loggers in
the Big Timber region, from which
area much of this type of material is
drawn for similar construction.
The delivery of the logs, following
final approval of the terms of deliv-
cry. will formally inaugurate the pro-
gram of construction.

relatives, friends and the federal gov
