The meeting of the South Carolina Nurses' Association in Florence show- j ed the value of organization, as thisj body of women is working always for advancement of the nursing profes sion, in advocating the preliminary education of nurses and making their course of instruction of "higher value year by year and equalizing the stand ard for the registered nurse. The public is slowly getting to un derstand the different grades of i nurse. The woman who has not stood [ her examination before the State Board cannot be equal in value to the nurse who has passed this exam ination. The State Association only allows as members those who arc j property educated to nurse and who have been so recognized by the State.

For the American Forces in France An Appeal For Cooks The Editor of The Item: The !ctter published below has just reached rue. I am sure that there are many people in Sumter v.-ho should like to supply the reading: mat ter requested. To assist in this mat ter, the Carnegie Public Library will be glad to receive these books in the afternoons and will see to it that they are properly shipped. Respectfully. S. H. Edmunds. To care for the American forces in France and the Army of Occupation in Germany, lie.- American Library Association is planning (<> deliver an additional 750.000 books in France be fore July Ist. To meet the need, the A. L. A. has found it necessary to call upon the American people Cor half a million books. The balance of 250.000 books I is expected t?> come from the libraries in American camps which are closing. Just why the association has found it necessary to call for fresh reading matter in addition to the two and one Iquarter million books which have al ready been shipped overseas is dis closed by tin- fact that books in mili tary service undergo extraordinarily bard usage. It is estimated that a book in war service wears on! seven times as fast as book issued by a [public library. A. popular book of I -fiction in camp or in the field is prac j tically lit for the discard when it ha: i been issued to four men. whereas tbel same book in a public library would not show tlx- same degree of wear until it had been issue*! 30 times. A good book is passed from hand lo hand. An exciting western nave is read by a score of men in an in credibly short time, and is ready to fall lo pieces when the man who bor rowed .it returns it to the library. One A. L. A. librarian renorts, -ev- j era! days after a new shipment of i fiction hid been received. "The IS volumes of Z;<ne Grey had j ?<il circulated from the main librar] within is hours of their location on j the shelves?some are returning now! for the second or third time ;" circu late again before they reach the j shelves.
