ASKS FOR RED CROSS EXAMS.
The course for the Red Cross costs
$10. No examination is given where
by they might test the ability and ex
perience of applicants. Some means
should be devised whereby examina
tions could be conducted making
those who pass it available for serv
ice. They could perform wherever
needed regardless of the manner in
which the skill has been acquired.
The Red Cross at the present time
offers the only channel through
which volunteers for service as nurse
aids become eligible for acceptance.
The cost is $10 and offers nothing to
St women for efficient service as
auxiliaries as the system now
stands. Katheryn Rutherford.
CONSISTENT VIEWPOINTS.
The truly religious person wisely
avoids debate. Not that he has any
more chance of losing in it than has
the scientific one, but that if he sticks
consistently to and reasons logically
from his premises or postulates he
is as much justified in hjs claim of
being right as the one whose stand
point is scientific
All standpoints are borrowed. And
since inconsistency is the real crime,
then where one's thoughts and
actions correspond with the stand
point, or standpoints, taken, then
there can be no other way out of it
but to say that in being consistent
from that standpoint he is right
from that standpoint.
If, on the other side, a person
whose philosophy is egoism and
whose object is the spreading of tlje
gospel of egoism, so as to advertise
its benefits, where these benefits are
not seen, to go finally, to Limself,
then it really merges into altruism,
which course means inconsistency,
error, wrong wrong from the truly
egotistic standpoint. But whoever
sees that egoism benefits only him
self and deliberately, keeps this
knowledge from the world, consist
ently refusing to take chances on its
benefiting anybody else, him we must
hold to be right from the truly ego
istic standpoint.
On this score, then, Rockefeller,
with his fmplied philosophy, is right
from the legal, capitalistic, utili
tarian, even moral and a number of
other standpoints. From the truly
altruistic, ethical, esthetic, poetic, re
ligious standpoint he is wrong.
If, then, from my various view
points, I am consistent, then none
can touch me. And none who are
themselves logical will venture on my
territory, for I am right.-r-J. Jacob-son.
EXPLAINS A LIBERTY LOAN
"A Liberty loan made to the gov
ernment by taking the money from
your natural income is a real loan;
but a Liberty loan made by borrow
ing money from a bank to loan to
the government is fictitious," said A.
C. Miller, member federal reserve
board, as conference of Western
Economic society and the City club
last night.
