It is well known in Philadel phia, that the chief purpose of the State Registration ot Nurses, in addition to maintaining high prices and fostering trade union ism in nursing, was for the spe cific purpose of destroying the Philadelphia School for Nurses that institution having declared for gratuitous nursing care for the sick poor and for a skilled nursing service to people of mod erate means at such rates as they can afford to pay. Graduates of the Two Year Course of this School are eligible to register, under the law. They can also nurse independent of registration in this, and in all other fctates. The Philadelphia School for Nurses does not ap prove of State Registration m any form. It is content to have its nurses stand on merit, rather than on any favoritism In law, besides the School takes the po sition that the doctor should be the only legal authority in the sick-room, and that the introduo tion of any other authority is det rimental and dangerous. However. If the graduates of this School wish to exercise the right to acquire the questionable benefits of such a measure, we think, as free.born daughters of the Commonwealth, they have a right to insist upon equality be fore the law. This equality, how ever, has been denied to Miss Nellie Farnham, graduate of the Two Year Course in the Philadel phia School for Nurses, and now chief nurse in the Maternity Hos pital at Sunbury. This so called "State Board of Examiners for Registration of Nurses" has denied to register Miss Farnham, not on grounds of incompetency, for her splendid record in private nursing, and her efficiency in her present posi tion, precludes such an excuse, but simply and solely on the ground that she is a graduate of the Philadelphia School for Nurs es. Her beautiful service in mm istering to the sick-poor of this city during the entire two years of her course in this School, and passing rigid final examinations With credit and her subsequent career as a successful nurse, is a crime in the eyes of this political ly constituted board, which is loudly.procla'ming "for tbe safety of the public," and using the Legislative club on the graduates of an institution which is regular ly chartered by this Common wealth and which has been rend ering a matchless service of help fulness1 for fifteen years. Therefore, in behalf ot the graduates of this School and keeping in mind the American notion of justice and fair play, we appeal to the Court of Public Opinion.

State Health Commissioner Dixon has issued an injunction to the people of the State to boll all water that is used 'or drink ing purposes, in order that there may be no risks run of catching typhoid fever. ' Dr. Dixon says in his warning: "Be on the safe side and boil the water. The heavy rams and melting snows are washing the accumulation of the winter's filth into our streams. The boiling of all water used for domestic pur poses Is a small price for the housewife to pay for insurance for herself and family against suffering and death. "The health authorities must have the assistance of the Individ ual citizens of Pennsylvania if the fight against typhoid fever is to be successful " 'If only I had boiled the wa ter.'
