Miss Nightingale at Seventy
seven

It is but a short time since the best
| loved woman in England. save the
| queen, passed her seventy-seventh
| birthday.
There are perhaps few persons out
side of England who realize that the
heroine of the Crimea" is still alive
and maintaining an active interest in the
work with which her name will always
| be associated. In her quiet home in
the west OF London, where for 80 years
| she has been an invalid. Miss Nightin-
gale still keeps in touch with hospital
methods and with the systematic train
| ing of nurses.
Everybody remembers the story of
the horrible suffering undergone by the
English soldiers in the winter of 1854
and of the heroism of one young Eng
! lsh woman who offered her services to
| Sidney Herbert. secretary Of war. They
were enthusiastically accepted. and a
| few days later the angel OF the
| trenches" as she was called by the
I French. started for Scutari with "A
| trained nurses. There is not a Cri
mean veteran alive today who could
not tell some touching story of the
young girls courage and sympathy.
There is not a boy or girl in England
or America who does not know Flor
ence Nightingale's story.
Florence Nightingale was born May
/ 3. 1920 in the city which gave her her
Christian name Her girlhood was spent
nursing Arabs in Egypt and the sick
| in London hospitals. Later she was
pupil in a hospital in Dusseldorf, Ger
many. Phis experience she turned 10
practical account during her stay in
the Crimea. The $50. 900 which was her
reward from the English government

School For Nurses in London During

was constantly in communication With
the hospitals and supplied help and
suggestions that could Ill have been
