DR.. TONER ON THE PROSPECTS OF THE SCHOOL.
The president, DR.. Toner, stated, in a letter
read by the secretary, that he was gratiied to
be able to say that the present condition of the
society, as well as it's future prospects, were
very encouraging. The graduates of our school
have found steady employment. and have given
satisfaction alike to their patrons and to the
physicians whose patients they have nursed.
Thenumber of pupils enrolled and attending the
school is now greater than at any former period.
The society has increased its list of contributing
memhers, and is now without debt, and has
several hundred dollars in the treasury.
We believe that the advantages of the trained
nurse, and the claims of the school to support
has now the good will of our citizens. If the
school be judiciously managed, and the nurses
graduating from it prove as efficient and accept
able to the public, as we hope, the enterprise
must prosper, and home for the nurses will
soon be founded, it is expected. in connection
with the Garfield Memorial Hospital, about to
be established in this city. = * | most
sincerely wish the training school to be an aid
to the physician. a boon to the sick and an honor
to the humanity of our city.
DR.. Toner mOdestly declined a reelection, but
the society unanimously voted him into the
presidency. and appointed committee of three
to urge him to accept.
