Rees Gives Taxation
History AT Kiwanis
Club Noon Luncheon

Direct taxation by the Govern
ment, its history, origin, and
growth, was outlined to Kiwan-
fans at their luncheon meeting IN
the Lalonde Hotel here, by Don
Rees, Sidney accountant. Mr.. Rees
went back to the early 1905
when early efforts to tax personal
income were declared uncOnstitu-
tional and brought the develop
ments in the income tax fed,
down to the present. He then ex-
planned the workings of the tax
in both the personal and corporate
fields, from the business mans
viewpoint.

ton, D. c. a was guest.

In PsYehiatrie
Nurses Traininu

Warm Springs - Forty-nine
nurses from five Montana hoSpi-
tails are participating in the cur
rent pSychiatric nursing program
being conducted by the Montana
State Hospital at Warm Springs.
The program is directed by the
Montana State College at Boze-
man. During this quarter, all of
the students are enrolled with and
receive from Montana State Col
lege credits for their class and
ward experiences here. This educ
atiOnal experience is required by
the Montana State Board of Nurs-
ing for eventual registration.
Nursing students from Carroll
School of Nursing at Helena re-
ceive their nursing experience
through Sisters of Charity, st.
Vincent'S Unit at Billings and ST.
James Unit at Butte. Students of
the Montana State College School
of Nursing at BoZeman receive
their nursing experience at the
Billings DeaconesS and Great Falls
DeaconeSS Divisions. Students
from st. Patrick's School of Nurs-
ing at MiSSoula and Columbus
School of Nursing at Great Falls
also receive their psychiatric nurs-
ing experience here.
Because the emphasis is placed
on understanding the behavior of
the pSychiatric patient rather than
the disease entities, the student
learns concepts that are crucial to
all nursing, according to Mrs.
Margaret Barley, educational
director of clinical nursing. The
studies emphasized that the treat
ment of the mentally i'll patient re-
quires the cooperation of all re-
lated disciplines and therapies. In
addition to their classes in theory
the students work with patients in
many onward and Outward stu.
