from Count Nesselrode, Court Marshal
of the Empress. informing me that Her

ThE BADG6 Of ST. KATHARINE FOR HOSPITAI
NURSES.
The greatest Lady OF the land has founded q
new order OF merit to be accorded to the most
sIinful members of the nursing profession, who
are to be named "St Katharines nurses, n and
to be distinguished by badge. The first OF the
nurses OF this order were invested on Wednes-
day last with the royal decoration, when Sir
Rutherford Alcock gave the substance OF q let
ter from her majesty to the following eject
Three nurses were to be selected from the
Nurses Training institution at Westminster,
formed by Lady Augusta Stanley I'VE years ago.
TIE following conditions were to be made: That
they should be OF good character; they would
hold their appointments for three years, remov-
able at any moment on account of tncOmpe-
tence or misbehavior; each st. Katharine'S
nurse would receive pay at the rate OF ESQ per
annum, which payment was to be an addition
to the salary she might be IN receipt OF from the
institution to which she belonged: the Lady
Augusta Stanley institution would also be paid
ESQ per annum for the SuStenance of each nurse:
should the patroness require the services OF any
OF the ST. katharine'S nurses for poor or other
patient as long as 1t was necessary without any
further remuneration; the nurses selected for
the honor proposed would wear badge or
armlet with the letters "St. X" In the centre,
their three years service as an honorary dis
unction. Should vacancy occur among the
three named nurses from death, incompetence,
or any other cause, IL would rest with the pa
troness to appoint another nurse from the lnstl-
tuition or not, as her majesty might think MT. 1t
is the intention OF the Queen TO award the Or
der of merit with its accompanying advantages
to competent nurses belonging TO other nos
cock Expressed his satisfaction that the eStao-
Iishment selected should have been the nrSt 10

THE INTEREST OF the commencement season
In New England this year is largely concen-
trated upon Smith College, for young women.
at Northampton, Mass, which has graduated
It's first class this week. The managers OF this
institution claim, and probably with Justice
that this is the first time fn the history OF the
country that q class OF young women have
taken the degree OF q course that is equal to
any which Is offered young man In the older
colleges. When the institution opened four
years ago, there were many who prophesief
that so high q standard would attract but few
students, and many more who predicted that
even II there should be plenty or students The
severity OF the course would ruin their health
The experience thus far has not justified either
OF these gloomy theories. The first class was
naturally small, numbering only l6 OF whom n
have taken the full course, but the college no
has 1873 pupils, ~ OF whom are In the lowest
class. AS for the threatened invalidism. II has
been conspicuous only by its absence. An ex-
cellent system has been pursued or grouping
the students into families OF twenty 1--WE, wh1
live In cottages on the college grounds, each
family In charge OF a matr0n, and the president
reports that the health or the graduating class
has been almost perfect throughout the four
years. In point OF scholarship, the professors
In Amherst College, who for awhile taught the
same branches TO their boys In the morning and
TO the girls in the afternoon. testify that the
average scholarship among the Northampton
students was on a par with grade a-tsined by
only q few Amherst men. Altogether the
friends OF the higher education for women feel
very well SATISFIED with the record OF smith

seventeen who gave replies to these test QueS-
