Training A strong plea for Increased aca demic training for nurses was made here Monday night by an 4he NaticMMt' Nuraing League at the commencement ex ercises for Lincoln hospital’s nurs ing school graduates. Mrs. Estelle Osborne, assistant director for General Administra tion of the National Nursing League, told the nursing gradu ates that the amount of service they could render humanity and Ihe' qiiallly of^ flchhess of' Hieir^ lives depended on how far they were willing to go in increasing their knowledge in nursing. Mrs. Osborne WbS main speaker for the hospital nursing school’s annual commencement exercises held Monday night at White Rock church. A total of nine nursing school graduates received diplomas at the exercises. , “Nursing has many opportuni ties for you to make contributions ... if you stop with the basic knowledge you ■ now have, the richness and quality of your life and service will be constricted,” Mrs. Osborne said. The speaker pointed to the re cent strides made in conquering diseases as examples of the Im portance of knowledge. She re counted the enthusiastic reception given the news of the perfection of the Salk Polio vaccine, and de clared: “To be released of fear is one of the greatest emancipative acts that can happen to human beings.

Wood ward said. ^ The boys broke into thg school on Sunday afternoon and returned on, Monday, breaking windows smashing furniture, and equipment and despoiling floors and walls.. All lived in the Burton school area. They were quickly apprehended by detectives Frank McCrea and C. L. Cox.

However, he placed them on probation, setting up a regular check with probation officers and warned their parents to pay at tention to them. He also indicated that the fami lies of the boys were responsible for paying the damage caused by the vandalism. He said a plan would be presented to them to see if they could help make amends.
