Commenting on Miss Helen Cudahv giving up the idea of becoming a trained iuirso, when sho became acquainted with the drudgory it involved. Helen "Dare of tho San Francisco Chronicle says: It's not nn easy job. nor what a fastidious young woman, careful of her fingernails, would call a. "nice" job. to be a doctor or trained nurso. Doctors, you know, mess around with things (for tho sako of alleviating alle-viating pain and curing Ills) that tho ordinary person would1 balk at quite ar, readily as Mich a pampered young woman, as Miss Cudahj' balks at. what sho scornfully calls "housework "house-work and drudgery.'' Work Is Exacting. Housewives, indeed, who willingly do housowork and drudgery, would refuse the task that tho doctor and tho trained) nurse perform as a mat-tor mat-tor of courso; refuse thorn bocauso of their very rnpulsiveness and laboriousncss. Yot wo turn away from these over-nice, persons nnd trustingly put our lives and. tho lives of our dearest dear-est in tho care of these doctors and trained nurses who have not scorned tho hard and the ugly tasks in their training; and sometimes could kiss in kmnblo gratitude those skillful hands that have bopu trained to such "common" duties. Thoro is much strong human im- f ulfio cspocially among the romnn-ic, romnn-ic, the sentimental, tho young, the idle, tho unsophisticated', tho specially spe-cially favored by fortune to be of Hprvicc to others (to be "noblo," perhaps), nowadays, When it is au oniotional and ephemeral impulse it is apt to cool, as Miss Cudahy's did, before 'tho exactions of rca'l service calling for genuine effort. Yet where is that all-round efficiency and roadinc?s that tho trained nurso acquires through her drill at "housework and drudgery" more ncedd than by the nurse who helps to give her skill ia social service, as a wealthy young woman like Miss Cndaby pre-sumablv pre-sumablv looked forwardi to doing? Tho following dispatch from Washington Wash-ington shows what congress desires to do in the matter of aiding the nurses: WASHINGTON, April 2o. To moet the present emergency in Mexico, with possible need ot! trained voluntocr nurses, tho house today passed the Hay joint resolution authorizing the secretaries secre-taries of war and navy to issue, at their discretion and under proper regulations, regu-lations, any articles needed for instruction instruc-tion and practice by organizations formed 1)3' tho American National Red Cross for rendering aid to the army and navv in war.
