The survey Juft completed by the Heusing AtM.ciatIen merely provides added proof te show t!iat thf proii preii teers are a limited class engaged ruthles-Iy in peclalized work. ' Thus In regions where real estate ha been held by legitimate Investors-, rent, while th'-y leere increased, did net reach the hi;h limits recorded in areas in course of develop. meut, where ihe barter uud al" of dwellings re common and where emergency p-"!iti sometimes teuld be vry Inrj". The study f housing in 'West I'hiladtlp'ila. llierefe.-e, (created the profiteer at hi wnrt. Cases were feuud in which, uhile tli house shortage vas most acute, one dwelling passed from euner te owner half a dozen times in that many months, returning a fat profit te each plunger. Se far ae the rec ord gees it suggests no constructive work done by the speculators, who entered the Same merely te achieve an advantage that ready money gave thern at the expense t,f people without means but in desperate neeel of living quarter?. It is easy te say that thl wa a heinous practice. It wa. Uut had there net been eXher profiteers higher up who combined te put a virtual step te building operatien1 by Inflation of the price of raw material there would have been no field for the mere ruth less gamblers in real e.tate. The big profi teers were responsible for most of the dam axe done by the little ones. Had a way been found te put them out of business the people in thl city would new have mere money In the saving banks, the population of Philadelphia would be larger than it is, and the health of the community. Impaired in many quarters by inadequate housing, would be better. In the future a way will have te be found te deal with monopolists who are the ehlef profiteers, even if another Eighteenth Amendment in necessary.

It would be interesting te knew hew many citizens of ether States were j born in Pennsylvania. The great migratory period came te a etose many years age, but there is still a constant moving ei population irera one State te another. There ero 131,000 per sons born in New Yerk who are living in this State and 84,000 native Marylandcrs. 82,000 Virginians. 80,000 .Terse Ites and 76,000 Ohioans.

Itnllier 1 should say "the ether Liberty Hell." Ah IL new appears there wcre two of them. Perhaps the lady in California who wrete te Mayer Moere about n bogus Liberty Hell' hud some ground for her unique inquiry.

The curator elaborated this intensely in teresting historical stutcmeai with the fol lowing remarkable explanatien: "rnllE Province of Pennsylvania net being - thought able te supply n bell of the proportions needed for the tower of the State Heufc. en October ll, IT.'il, a bell was ordered made in England of about L'000 pounds weight, wllli the following inscrip tion in part: " 'Proclaim Liberty through nil the Inpd te nil (he inhabitants thereof.

"Thi permission was granted nnd the third riistiim of tlie first bell K ihe Libert v Ile'l an wc have It today," said Mr. .Ionian". "These in charge of the State Heuse, however, were dubious as tn Puss & Stevv's ability te produce a geed bell.

HARLAN WELLS On Educating Sufficient Nurses IT IS difficult today for a per.seu of opu lence te get n competent nurse in case of Illness, but It is almost impossible for a person of moderate means, siijh Dr. G. Harlan Wells, clinical professor of medi cine nt Hahnemann Medical College. "This situation." baid Dr. Wells, "actu ullv exists In Philadelphia today a city long noted as u center of medical education mid Willi mere hospitals and nurses' train ing schools in proportion te its size than any ether city in the United States. "Evefv family in the city is directly uf fected by this situation, and the time i.s nt hand when the physicians, the nurses and the public ill general should insist that such changes be made in our system of educating nurses n will provide an adequate supply te meet our institutional and private needs. Causes of the Deficiency "Tilt re nrc several causes for the decreas ing number of competent nurses available for private work, of which the following are the principal: , , "First. A young woman must have had one nr two vear.s of high school vvetk before she Is permitted te enroll eh a student nurse in an accredited training school. "Second. The period or training outlined by the Pennsylvania Stnte Beard of Ex aminers for the Rcglslr.it ion of Nurses covers three full .venrs, and tlie course of in struction, both in its theoretical and prac tical aspects, In of such diameter us te make unusual demunil.s upon both the men tal and the puj ideal capacity of the studeut nurse. "Third. During these three years the student nurse ircclves from the hospital her loom, meals, laundry nnd a small financial compensation wliich averages !10 a month. Sin; must provide her own uniforms, cloth ing, books, etc., and pay nil Incidental ex penses. Yeung women who bine no means of support outside of their own earnings nrc, therefore, frequently deterred from enter ing the training bdioels. Many Nurses Marry "Fourth. Only a small proportion of tlie nurses graduating c.ich .vcifr me found en gaged In private nursing thrre carn after graduation. The education and the experi ence they acquire in dealing with human niituie hi nil its aspects stem te render the trained nurse unusually attiactlve te the sterner iex, and u large proportion of them marry within -thiee years after their gradu ation and give up their professional work. ''Our hospitals, tee, require a large num ber of nurses its supervlseis and Instructors, while social servile activities, factories nnd charitable institutions ere iitill.lug Iho services of nurses lu constant! iiu-ienslug numbers. It Is thus appaienl that only a veiy small propuitien of these whom our training schools graduate each jear actually engage in private nursing for any (-.'.tended period, mid, therefore. It is net strange se few of them are available. High Cost of Nursing "Nurses, who huve bpeut three ears In training and who have ncquiicd a high de gree et technical skill are worth and can command u fee for their services which places them be.vend the reach of families of moderate means in ordinary cases of Ill ness. Iu ciikch where surgical operations are peifeiuied, or in serious Illness, wn.vs are usually found le meet the expense in in velved. That liie'anu an cicnse of nppioxl nppiexl inatel: 100 u week if the services of a day ami a night nurse nrc required, as is usual in cases of a serious churucter. "in the cases of patients suffering from miner illnesses or long-lasting disease, the problem is u mero difficult one te the family of average means. "lu ninny such instances the nature of the service requlicd by the invalid Is net of biich ehuiuctcr na te rcqulre an attendant wiib the high degree of technical training that tlie icglstercd nurse possesses; jet the pal lent miis cither employ n registered nurse at n siihin which, while entirely fMr when measured by the ability of the nurse, is decidedly disproportionate te the services u-qulred by the patient, or else attempt te secure the services of soma kindly but un trained person who has; usunlly drifted into nuisliig because of (lie lack of any ether lueaiis et securing a livelihood.

"The reined for tlie present lack of com petent nurses is for our hospitals nnd train ing schools te provide u ene-jear course where jeung women cun be trained te act us 'practical' nurses. "Tlie entrance requirements for bilcii a eeur.-c should be the equivalent of n grammar-school educatien: the scope of the in struction given should include the general hygienic care of patients, preparation of loeds for the sick, tlie pieper administra tion of medicine, recording tlie temper ature, pul-e ami respiration und modern antiseptic teciinlc.
