So far as the records go. the first sebooj^for training nurses was establish**! Is Philadelphia In 1828. It was know n as the Philadelphia lay-ing-In Cnarl|y and Nurse School, and was an Innovation which met little encouragement Old-fashioned nurses and midwlves. hospital attendants, and even physicians opposed It bit terly and denounced the employment of young women la a sphere which, they said, propriety forbade them to

the change was slow. In 1880 there wer. only a -dozen of these Institutions In i 8S5 a score^nd In 1890.31

schools with 10 scbAra.

Then came a change which was almost magical. What brought It about is Impossible to tell. It Is true that many old-fashioned curses about this time committed grievous errors, and that the advocates of women's medical colleges urged the extension of the trained-nurse system, but these cannot be regarded as sufficient in their influence to hate brought about the revolution. In every part of this country and Canada new schools were opened, and' each was soon filled to the - limit. In the scholastic year 1891 1S95 the schools had more than trebled, and the pupils doubled, the totals being 131 and 3985. Three years later the schools were 377 and the scholars 8805. In 1890 the total nnmber of graduates was 20.006. In 1896 35.000. and today It is supposed

to be 50.000.

The course of study is severe and demands all the time and attention of the pupils. It is about the same in all the leading hospitals. Much of the work Is hard manual labor, and Includes dusting, sweeping, hed-mak-

turning out gnuluates each yea gradually overcoming the ]

erations. and the moving of patients. In many of the schools there are kit j chens where the students are taught j to prepare Invalid's diet, and when! I bright girls often become excellent chefs. In their studies they are required to obtain a fair knowledge of | anatomyi physiology, pathology, thcra- i peutlcs. and what is generally known as first aid to the Injured. Out of the trained-nurse movement l have grown two new philanthropic activities. one la well represented by I the Church Nursing Clubs and the i other by the Nurses' Settlements. In I the former the nurses are really em- j ployed by women's societies attached* to churches, frequently they work ^ for half pay and In not a few Instances I they have contributed their services [ where they have been able, to the

cause of humanity.

In the Nurse Settlement system the nurses have estahliahed settlements of their own. but more often have joined social settlements conducted by university men and women. In this field of labor they have been exceedingly successful. If those in charge of the big settlements of this city are not mistaken, the trained nurses have accomplished more good than any other equal number of workers. The result Is. of course, due to their calling. It Is hard for a man or woman educated and well dressed to win the confidence of the "submerged tenth." * Weeks, months, and even years elapse before the worker is ad milted to some rough circle, which she wishes to ameliorate. It is far different with the trained nurse. Sick ness brings her into the circle without exertion on her own part, and here nine times out of ten she wins

-end honorable career. In the distribution of schools the numbers follow the intelligence, rather than the popu latioa of the various states. Thus, the authorities say. Maryland baa six. while Massachusetts has t*. and Texas. with its 3.000.000 people, has but two. while Illinois has 31. These figures do not include ja large number of institutions which turn out skilful nurses.--'In nearly all of the big Cities of the eastern and central states are homes, asylums, and re fUges. where young women are hired to act as nurses. The institution educates them, but simply with a view to utilizing their labor afterwards, and not with the intention of preparing them and then losing their services. ITiere are more than 200 places of this class which average 10 girls each. Neither do« it include scores of young women who have attended med leal colleges and have been unable \ ,-bj'be graduated. They makecompetent aurses. and by many people are preferred to the alumnae of third-class

•cbools.

The course varies from one to three years, and averages two and onequarter years. The students receive their board, lodging, fuel, light and . washing, and some nonorarium. Their education is supposed to be equal in value to the services they reader., and the money to be complimentary payment. Such is the theory, but in actual practice the schools, which are almost Invariably attached to hospitals. pay the trained nurses from 35 to 815 a month.

There are different kinds of ivory, and only the finer kinds are suitable for making billiard balls. The bait comes from the small tusks, which are from four to six inches in 'diameter at the thickest end. They are sawed into clocks, each section being large enough to allow of the turning of a single ball. The factories devoted to the billiard ball industry lu this country usually receive the ivory in this shape, the sections being marked so that the turners know from what part of the tusk each piece comes Yand in this way can calculate as to its grain and quality. It take* a long time to produce a perfect blllia'd ball, and only skilled labor Is employed.
