modern science and increasing medi-
cal discoveries make higher educa-
tion imperative for entrance into
nursing schools.
Skill and Art.
'The medical profession has
marched swiftly ahead during the
past four decades" she pointed out,
land the little sister profession of
nursing has accordingly heightened
its step. With the miracle men of
the research laboratories constantly
evolving new methods of life-saving,
the modern physicians methods of
diagnosing and treating disease have
become increasingly scientif1c-in
most instances, increasingly intri-
cate. The nurse. now highly
skilled expert of her own art, collab-
Grating with the doctor and assisting
him. needs some knowledge Of the
fundamental sciences of both medi-
cine and surgery" she added.
,, A great opportunity it offered this
years girl graduates from both high
schools and colleges, Miss Beattie
said. She referred especially to the
bill, introduced in Congress by Rep
resentative Frances P. Bolton Of
Ohio. to authorize Government ex-
penditures for educating girls in
accredited nursing schools.
THE introduction of this bill by
Mrs. Bolton is evidence of the i'm
portance which is now placed upon
the nursing profession" she said.
incidentally, few realize it is the
only profession for women in which
there is no competition from men,"
Proud Of Record.
Miss Beattie is very proud Of the
record of District nurses.
"Over 325 have already gone into
the armed forces since Pearl Har-
bor," she said.
Asked what the situation is re-
garding availability Of civilian
nurses in the District, the speaker
replied
1--WE receive on an average 25 calls
day for nurses which we cannot
fill. Neither doctors nor patients
call for nurses unless they really
need them, SO you can understand
how badly off we are. Our plea to
any woman who has had previous
training, is to come back into the
hospitals now. Those who did not
complete their course can be student
nurses and help while they are
learning"
Miss Beattie was formerly night
supervisor and supervisor of the out
patient department at Childrens
Hospital, declares that when the
present emergency is over she will
return to private nursing.
Il miss contact with patients very
much" she said. Particularly little
children. They make such brave
patients and I hope to go back to
them some day"

auxiliary busy. A sewing group

and Fridays and knitting group
has turned in approximately 1000
garments during the past year.

mission, Miss Wilson recalled. The
coffee carts" of that era were
sort of forerunner of todays mobile
canteen units.
During the Spanish American
War, the YMCA formed a number
of auxiliaries, some of which still
are in existence. And during the
World War 5000 women served
overseas under the YMCA Work
Council.
In peacetime the YMCA continued
its Army and Navy department and
it was with that branch of the as
sociation that Miss Wilson became
affiliated in 1880.
Originally located with the San
Diego (Calif0 branch, Miss Wilson
was called to Washington three
years ago for White House con-
ference arranged by Mrs. Roosevelt
with view to expanding recrea-
tlonal opportunities for men in the
service. She remained in the East
until the development of the United
Service Organizations and was put
in charge of women's activities for
the Army and Navy YMCA.
At that time, she was the only
professional woman on the Army
and Navy YMCA staff, but the pro-
gram has expanded until there are
now lat professional workers and
125000 women volunteers. And
for the first time in history the
National Army and Navy Depart
ment Committee has three women
on its board: Mrs. F.. Louis Slade.
Mrs. Eliot Gross and Mrs. Whitney
Shepardson.
Miss Wilson is enthusiastic about
the cooperation which women's or
ganizations have given the YMCA
program. During her tour. she has
found places where the women are
signed up six and seven months in
advance to take care of programs.
The women's activities director, by
the way, has been active in club
work herself and in 1896 was junior
president of the California Fedora
tion of Women's Clubs.
Miss Wilson also praised the work
of the junior hostesses in the ESQ.
Its not all fun," she said, because
ESQ girl is not considered a good
member if she's only dance hostess.
For that matter she contin-
ued, 'it's really no fun to go to
dances continually-if you've worked
all day in factory or Office"
One of the ESQ rules, she point
ed out, is that hostess must dance
with any man who asks her; she
can't save her smiles for the guests
with whom she would like to dance.
Must Serve as Coaches.
ESQ girls also are expected to
assist with educational programs.
They help with classes and some
times serve as coaches. They must
take sightseeing tours with the men
and assist with hobby groups.
One ESQ service which has
proved especially popular is the
business bureau" at which the girls
write business letters, without
charge, for the men in uniform.
At some clubs. the girls publish a
bulletin which contains news of in
terest to the men who attend the
club. Then, when the men are
shifted to other areas, they are put
on mailing list.
"It saves letter writing" Miss
Wilson pointed out.
Her organization doesn't under
rate the Importance Of girls in its
program for servicemen.
In a recent poll, she pointed out,
the men were asked what they pre-
ferred in the USO program. Girls"
headed the list, far ahead of eats"

When Tragedy Strikes.
When sore sickness entered the
Bethany home, the first thought of
the family was to send for Jesus.
He was the sort of friend to whom
one turns in any kind of trouble.
This same characteristic marks His
friends today.
When called. Jesus did not at once
come. He shared the news of
Lazarus fatal sickness with His
companions, limiting that sometimes
the glory of God-which Is the end
Of all being-may better be full
filled by denial than by compliance.
Here we face the mystery of the
providence of God. His ways are
past finding out. At the head of the
grave Of every young person stands
the question mark, "Why?" In the
case of Lazarus, the mystery was
made plain by the croWning miracle
of Chrlst's career, the raising of
Lazarus from the tomb where he
had lain, wrapped in funeral cere-
ments, for four days.
Before the great sign" was given.
there was a tragic scene of shared
sorrow with the sisters, who could
not understand the delayed arrival
Of their best Friend. Their tears
flowed in common; at least they
had the comfort of the Masters
sympathy. His ultimate plan was
too great for their understanding.
The Great Climax.
Events were approaching a climax
for Jesus, and He evidently designed
the raising of Lazarus from the dead
to be the crowning sign" of His
career. This miracle finally deter
mined the priestly and Pharisee
party to get rid of Him by swift
measures. Their own traditional
prestige could not stand against
such flaming of public sentiment
as this would cause. The exit of
Lazarus from one grave assured the
entrance of Jesus into another
grave.
His disciples had warned the Mas
ter of the dangers attendant upon
return to Jerusalem. He, though,
was never one to turn back. And
