The sehool year , commences September 1st, 190S, and there is still eight more pupil nurses needed to make the number. The desires to give this request publicity through the columns of the Woman 8 Exponent and Mter3 will be sent giving fuller particulars to Presidents of Stakes, that they may understand the situ-- , ation more in detail. This Hospital training will not in anyway interfere with the Relief Society nurse class taught under the auspices of the General Relief Society by Dr. M. C.

More concerning this subject will be published in the next issue of the paper. .. Relief-Societ- ' ! A WORD TO THE RELIEF SOCIETR. In the month of Jnne, 1872,- - this little paper first made its appearance, and President Brigham Young anticipated the sisters subscribing liberally and making it a great enterprise in thenterests-o- f the women of Zion not only in "Utah, but wherever ; the Saints were located; Hi wished the sisters tbhave a knowledge of affairs in general at homeland elsewhere, to. know, too, what other women were doing in the way of higher education and advancement and to keep r, abreast of the times; i The sisters were urged through the meet-- : ings held at that period . of time to -- -- J ; -- i el of woman's work. ' " - 7 President Young at .one time in jconversa-tiorxwit- h the editor suggested that the lives of prominent women in the Church, those who had associated in the early days in active measures for the benefit and es- tablishment of Mormonism, or actual labor in colonizing, or in a religious or moral sense, to p:omote the interests of the building up of Zin, should be Written up that a history pr true record might be made of value to posterity. Considerable of this biographical work has been done, but in many instances, our young people who have so much and read so much, fancy lighter reading than histories of women's lives with whose names they are more or less familiar. Therefore, more recently the. editor has undertaken to write in a dignified manner, so to speak, her own impressions of such. women, who helped to h lay the foundation of this work in the great leaders among distinguished men of their own time. Women who have opened the way Jn many Tines for tbeTyounger generation of the present period. They really do not know what they owe to those women whose names are household words in Zion. It is earnestly desired that the sisters in all the wards should take a more active interest in setting subscriptions for the WomanV Exponent and sustaining it as a means of spreading knowledge, not only of the work of the Relief Society itself which is the greatest organization of women in the Church, (and we think even in the world) but because this society carries the light of the Gospel along with its tea'ching into every home of its members. It was organized by the Prophet Joseph Smith before any of the women's societies or associations in the outside world, and can any Latter day Saint doubt its being through revelation? Such a great society must have an organ to keep up with its development, and it should be sustained by its members, so that there need be no delays in its regular pilblication7"Printing"is"n6t llorTeTwith" out money, although writers, poets,, etc., may go hungry, machinery does fnots run .. iv itself. The sisters in all parts of the world ire benefitted by the Woman's Exponent; it is the actual agent of thesociety,keeping bev fore the society the importance of the organization and its methods of work, and. the success attending the efforts made in all the various localities. It may be prosy, but so is all useful work, but the results are what is looked for. There might be books upon . books issued ,: but they would not keep pace" with the growth of a society as a journal does. It is not for the sake of stories or poems though they embellish and. help over dry reading, it is. for the actual nrnorpsbeing made that a paper is'.most needed. In view of these facts and many more that i mignt ne stated, the Exponent asks for a more liberal patronage, and a larger circulation, in the Relief Society which it represents..
