Nurse Training to Be Speeded
To Meet Needs of Wartime
Most Drastic Changes in Curriculum
Since World War Expected This Week

Nurses Examining Board was set
up in 1929. He said that since that
time when there was plethora of
candidates for nurses training
schools" hospital after hospital has
closed its classes because the re-
quirements placed upon it by the
board were so unreasonable that it
could not meet them.
He charged also that these re-
quirements went far beyond specifi-
cations concerning the curriculum
spreading to such details as the kind
of tablecloth and the candlepower
of lamps supplied in nurses quar-
tiers.
May Revive Army School.
Hospitals that still operate train
ing schools, most of them with in
creased programs, are Providence,
st. Elizabeth's, Georgetown. Sibley,
Garfield. Freedmen's and Gallinger
In the group that either never have
offered nurses training or have dis
continued their courses are Doctors,
Columbia, Emergency, Episcopal,
George Washington and Children's.
Some of these schools, it is point
ed out, were closed during the de-
preston. There has been some agi-
tation in recent months for re-
sumption of the Army School of
Nursing, opened during the last
war, but the War Department so
far has not taken to the idea, pre-
ferring to draw its nursing person.
mel from civilian hospitals The
principal reason offered for this is
the small number of women who
remained in Army service even after
they had been trained at Army ex-
pense in 1917.
Need of Speed Recognized.
Medical interests generally agree
that in the present emergency
nurses training should be acceler-
ated and that all courses of study
which are not vitality necessary
should be eliminated from the cur
riculum. This appears also to be the
consensus of the schools themselves
and of the Nurses Examining Board
but foremost in their minds are the
undesirables who got into the pro-
fession when the bars were dropped
during the last war, and for that
reason they move with caution.
Discussing the problem of ex-
pansion, DR.. George c. Rutland
District health officer, suggested
that the instructive personnel
problem might be met by concen-
trating on few institutions. This
would call for instructors to teach
larger classes, but would result, he
explained, in better qualified
staff.
DR.. Rutland also proposed that
the transportation problem be
solved by using high schools as
centers, provided they are close
enough to hospitals for students to
get bedside training at the same
time they are given classroom in
struction. He suggested further
that high schools might offer GER
tain courses which would speed girls
along the route to clinical training

PUG Asked 10 Rule
On Petition 10 Reopen
Entire Gas Rate Case
Henderson Also Urges
Delay in Putting Sept.
Increase Into Effect

The Public Utilities Commission
will be asked tomorrow to rule i'm
mediately on q petition filed yester-
day by Price Administrator Leon
Henderson requesting that the en-
tire case involving a recent rate
increase for the Washington Gas
Light Co. be thrown open again
during the re-hearing which Is to
begin at 10 am. tomorrow.
Mr.. Hendersons petition also
asked the PUG delay its order put
ting the rate increases into effect as
of September l until after the COM
missioners have reconsidered their
decision in the light of new testi-
mony to be presented.
Filed in Byrnes' Behalf.
The petition was filed by the price
administrator In behalf OF James
F. Byrnes, director of economic sta
bilization. During earlier hearings,
Harry Booth, utilities counsel for the
Once of Price Administration, con-
tended that the rate increase. under
the sliding scale" formula, would be
inflationary.
The OPA chiefs petition charged
that the PUC's order of October %,
re-opening the case, illegally re-
stricts the right of intervention by
the director of economic stabiliza-
ton, and that it unnecessarily re-
stricts the type of evidence which
may be received at the further hear
ings to be held in this matter"
The commission order re-opened
the hearings to permit the submits
sion of evidence relating to the
inflationary effect, if any, of the
increase in (gas) rates"
An increase in gas rates amount
ing to about $4,000 a year or ar
average of 3 cents month for each
consumer was approved by the PUG
on October Is after lengthy hear
ings. The gas company had asked
that increases of about 100000 be
placed in effect under the operation
of the Sliding scale" plan.
Mr.. Byrnes, on October 10, petit
toned the PUG to reopen the case
for the presentation of new testi-
mony, and four days later the COM
mission compiled with this request
and set the rehearing date for to-
morrow.
Specific Relief Asked.
Yesterdays petition asked that
the commission grant the specific
relief" asked by Mr.. Byrnes in his
original letter to the commission
and permit full intervention by
the Price Administrator anc
make him party to this proceed.
ing" The petition also asked tina
Mr.. Henderson be allowed to re-
enter the case without restriction
as to the type of evidence to b,
presented or otherwise limiting tn
scope of further hearings to be hell
in this matter"
The nature of the OPA chief
request indicated that his attorney
may bring up the whole issue {
Federal policies and directives i
their relation to local governin
bodies in addition to presenting tn
testimony of economists as t
whether the gas-rate increase i
itself is actually inflationary.
/ Mr.. Booth said yesterday he in
tended to ask the commission 1
rule on Mr.. Hendersons petitio
as soon as the hearing opens tc
morrow.

WOrdy DSR Meetings
Cost Taxpayers S6,561
BY HAROLD sCHACHERN

The man who said talk is
cheap" never attended a meeting
of the Detroit Department of
Street Railways, nor has he paid
the bill for the long, word-for-
word transcripts of these weekly
sessions, which are recorded and
typed bs a firm of public stenog-
raphers.
Two weeks ago the commission
met at 8 a. m. AT a p. m. the
meeting adjourned, with a half
hour off for lunch. Stenographers,
working in relays, had recorded
every word spoken, every move OF
those attending and every bit OF
correspondence read.
For this the city pays the at
tractive sim of 65 cents a page.
There were PAT pages in that
weeks report. for which the tax
payers paid the sum Of .S180.55.
A similar transcript likewise is

For these recorded gems, Detroit
paid $6,561.73 last year. a new
bus costs approximately $4,000.
This practice was started in
1880. No other city commission
follows the practice.
