MILWAUKEE CENTRAL SCHOOL OF NURSING The Central School of Nursing contributes greatly to the education of the nurses of Milwaukee. It gives a better theoretical course than was previously given in our schools of nursing. It stimulates a desire for further knowledge. It creates an apprecia- tion of the vast field of knowledge that they are in, and brings to the'ir realization what progress is yet to occur in the training of nurses. It also lends an academic atmosphere to the clinical education received in the hospital. It is unquestionably true that better and more qualities are acquired through education. Years ago it was sufficient for a nurse to depend upon her inherent qualities, and was judged accordingly. Today the poorest trained nurse is preferred to a i'born nurse, without any professional education. The qualities acquired through education include judgment, observation, and development of a certain keenness of mind. Social and public health attitudes are also stimulated through education. These qualities and attitudes added to the nurses' inherent qualities produces a nurse who is more desirable than a nurse without education. The.Central School of Nursing is an undeniable asset in raising the standard of the nursing profession. It raises the standard of professional nurses' theoretical education, because the courses are conducted so that all who do not come up to a set standard must drop the course. It enables a more diversified course than would be possible at the individual hospitals. Also, better students are attracted to the profession if good schools are assured. It is a realized fact that many nurses take up the profession because they desire to further their education, but cannot afford a college or university, and therefore take up nursing. The profession is fortunate in obtaining these people who wish to continue their education. Therefore, the standard must be made higher and higher to attract the good students and discourage those who cannot and will not make the grade. Having the students of five hospitals congregate and attend classes together at the school tends to promote an intellectual rivalry amongst the various groups, which results in improved study attitudes. This may be due to the fact that if each hospital conducted its own classes at the separate hospitals, probably there would be one or two exceptional students in each class. The average students would soon depend on the few for discussions and answers in class. Having all the hospitals together would mean that ten or twelve exceptional students would be together and therefore stimulate competition, and the desire to do better work. It is obvious that having a central school, it is much easier to secure better teachers. They have university preparation in addition to their hospital work, plus years of professional experience. The Milwaukee Central School of Nursing is one of a few of these progressive schools in this country, therefore we may consider ourselves fortunate to have had the privilege of attending this school. The formation of the central school is a progressive step in nursing education, but we still hope that the day is soon coming when the education of the nurses will be a part of the instruction offered by our uni- versities.

oLEANINGS SOCIETY Cow Bells Announce Marriage The marriage of Miss Igata Payne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jo Payne, to Isadore Schmaltzgesicht, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frieda SChiffieI' Schmaltzgesicht, took place June 29; Rev. Elbam Nhoj, Pastor of Hall of Recreation officiating. Nothing on the altar, masses of feathery green ferns and tall standards of white lillies and withered daisies formed the decoration of the gym. The Reverend wore a gownebeg pardon, was dressed most gorge- ously in an O. R. gown, stocking for a cap, two pairs of glasses and a piece of tapestry thrown carelessly over one shoulder. The blushing bride wore a bee-uteeful gown of white baronet satin with much crepe de chine draping. The veil was of mosquito bar caught by the coronet of moire ribbon and dried Orange peelings. She carried a bouquet of would-rather-not-be-smelled Howers. Miss Laughlin attended as matron of honor. The Misses Clarks, Neitzel, Lutz, and other attendants wore dresses treallyD in pastel shades and carried two daisies. D. Schmidt and M. Knudsen were the cutest little flower girls who so awkwardly distributed paper fiowers down the many carpeted aisle. DeMaster was ring-bearer who wore a little Lord Fauntleroy one-piece suit and dropped the napkin ring. M. Smith acted as best man who was dressed in the conventional black as were the other usherseconventional black plus mustachios, and flexible silk hats. Mrs. Jessica Jo Payne, Mother of the bride was dressed in deepest mourning, carried a jap umbrella and was revived from her spasmodic sobbing fits with a bottle of rainbow colored bath salts. Mrs. Schmaltz- gesicht was. robed in a trailing white gown which swept the aisle for the procession. A hidden choir sang The Prisoners Song just as the rejected suitor entered to view his lost loves marriage. There, there Lucille! i Ginger snaps, cake, and lemonade were served at the reception. i We are now positive it was Thekla Werner who caught the bride's bouquet. 44
