their work and aims "a clearly as time
would permit. This class numbers
twenty-six young men and women and

ward, spoke upon "Our motto as mis-
siouary nurses" as follows: Some time
ago, we graduated nurses formed a so
ciety designed to increase our knowledge
in our special line. AS the work of lht
earnest nurse is always for the uplifting
of others, morally and spiritually ss wei
as physi ally, we adopted this motto
which well speaks the object of the so
ciety, knowledge unused for the good o
others is more vain than unused gold
As the Use of gold will gladden. the hear
of hungry child or brighten day 70
the needy, SO the uss of the knowledg,
which the nurse has acquired will lea,
the world in the amount Of good don,
to our fellow men. Our watchw word
then, is to use the knowledge which w
possess for the god of others. w,

tiles of the weak and not to please our
selves" HELEN l.. MANNING.
