No girl should consider her education complete who is not ac quainted with the principles of the duties of a general nurse and temporary watch er.” * These words came from a hundred- year-old textbook, “Anatomy and Physi ology and Hygiene, Designed for Colleges, Academies and Families,” written by Dr. Calvin Cutter. This was wTitten at a time when higher education for women, if not actually frowned upon, was regarded with less than high favor. Nevertheless, the medical leaders even of that day recognized the importance of home nurs ing as a household art and an essential to well-grx)unded education for girls and women. As medical science and medical skill have advanced through the years, le need for, well-informed home nurses _ _ ^/d rather than diminished. Medical discoveries have provided ways and means of cure and prevention of di sease, but at the same time they have made it more and more important that the homemaker should know how to ap ply this knowledge in a way that will safe guard the family health.

One by one the pat phrases of easy assur ance are banished from our vocabularies. First someone denied the magic quali ties of spinach. Then a magazine writer set out to prove that it isn’t safe to say of Hennry Wallace that “at least he’s sin cere and courageous.” And now a doctor informs us that it is equally unsafe to say of vitamins that “at least they can’t hurt you.” Indiscriminate and prolonged taking of Vitamins, says this physician, can contri bute to an early death. That’s a blow to the drugstore people, and it’s a blow to us. We see nothing in prospect for our selves but an unrelieved diet of meat, po tatoes, vegetables and c5niicism.

Here are cold statistics to show what is happening to North Carolina’s schools. Surely no sentient citizen can read them and then ask whats wrong with our schools or why his children are not get ting the kind of education which he thinks they should have. It is too much to expect schools to teach without teachers or with those whom they do have ill-prepared, under-paid and over-burdened. -O' — “And whoever walks a furlong with out sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.”—Walt Whitman. — — THE — EVERYDAY eOUNSELBR By Re\ Soam Scoutmaster—What is your only one I let my CXIRRECT PIGURB— Hiram: I’m-glad my woman is Hiram: ’Cause when she’s a- AND WHY NOT?— Adam (with Eve in the Garden Eden, naming the animals): Eve, let’s call this one a hippo- When a man or woman takes the Lord into partnership with him, his life and business has a way of admirably succeed ing.

She made five pounds, and sold them easily to her friends. She decided to go into the fruitcake business with only home equipment and five pans. She advertise dher product in several newspapers, and soon had ordebs for 150 pounds. In some way she man aged to fill them. Now she needed more pans and equip ment, but none were to be had. She prayed again about it, and then the thought came to her of visiting a local bakery and see ing if they had some old discarded pans. They could find only one, but stamped on the bottom of that pan was the name and address of the manufacturer. She wrote this company aslding if they could supply others They agreed to give her delivery of her needs within two months. Her pans came and she managed to get the needed mixing equipment.
