School Nurse May Not Be Appointed, Ernst Tells Graff ~ President Ernst of the Board of Education has directed Superintend- ent Graff not to appoint a head nurse for the public school medical inspec- | tion staif. The action of the board last Monday evening will be recon- sidered at the next meeting. : The vote to appoint a nurse in- | stead of a physician as head of the medical inspection was 6 to 4, Dr. D. E. Jenkins voting “yes” under a mis- apprehension, he has stated. Vice hairman Cowell of the board was out of the city at the time, so in-view of these circumstances, President Ernst thought it would be well to hold the matter in abeyance until the next meeting of the board.

If Topeka, after 35 long years of prohibition, is unable to make prohibition effective, what reason is there to believe that Omaha, a city four times as large, will escape the de- moralizing influences that exist to this very day in Topeka.
