ADDRESS OF DR. JANEWAY.
DR.. Janeway selected to deliver the GUS
tomary address OF instruction to the graduating
class Allud.ng to the addresses made IN former
years to graduates he said he found that they con-
tained many useful instructions that he would
recommend to the managers OF the school thit
they should be printed and distributed 10 the
nurses. He thought II some OF the addresses were
compiled this they would make an eN-
tremely valua BILE guldebook. He continued in part:
IL has struck me sometimes that the nurses
might write something on the shortcomings OF phy-
sic!ans They might perhaps. say that doctors are
not always sufficiently courteous 10 the nurses ana
that he does look after Their interests enough Dy
seeing that they have sufficient amount of sleep,
exercise and re creation to enable them 20 properly
Derforn the.r work. have frequently thought over
those matters myself. but we are not infabie ana
we do no, expect you TO be. There s one question
which | wish 10 bring TO your attention. ana 10
which nv predecessors in their addresses 10 not
seem TO have even touched upon The question is;
Suppose a nurse is called to a case OF bad corr
tagious disease. is she morally bound to go! FOR
