Training School for Nurses. s5ps

Training School for Nurses.
The trustess of the Delaware Hos,
pital have decided to further the de-
velopment OF tho institution by adding
to ito training school for puraes
Hitherto graduate nurses have been
employed in the service of the hos
pital. but now, in the beginning of
tho eighth year of its work, the mana
gors feel justified in opening this
| school for training women. The hos
pital gave in the year 1896, GAIT days'
| service to sick and wounded, beside
the large dispensary practice, scattered
among about 1,400 people. The
constantly increasing work Of the
hospital gives it abundant experiences.
which may we'll be utilized, under the
direction of able physicians, the super-
intendent and her assistant.
The hospital now offers to young
womon the opportunity OF an education
for the profession of trained nurse.
Applicants must be between 90 and 35
years OF age. The course Of training
will cover three years. Those applicants
approved by the superintendent and
directress of nurses will be taken for
two months on probation. Those who
are accepted as pupils will have an
allowance made them OF 81 month the
tirst year, 50 month the second year
and Sl2 dollars month the third year.
This allowance enables pupils TO pro-
vide themselves with uniforms. text
books. Thermometers and necessary
outfits. and is not intended as salary.
The instruction given is considered
full equivalent for services.
The hospital is pleasantly situated
nm the hnntS pf fha Rrandyutpa pepr
Washington Bridge. 1t has large
grounds around it and both within
and without is an attractive place.
Bright, well.furnished rooms are pro-
vided for the nurses. There will be
considerable time set apart for their
recreation and study. w.
Ii any young women desire to be-
come candidates for this school now
being established they should apply to
Miss Wilson, the superintendent Of tho
Delaware Hospital.

of are those that have put a false con-

has proved as efficient a missionary as any
OF the organizers could desire. The Operat-
ors secured new drivers in an hour and at
noon over half Of the miners came out.
Then the second lot of drivers threw up
their positions and some Of the men began
stoning the miners who were forced to
leave their work. and who had assembled
in front OF the mine Rolf Hite, the super
intendent soon had his faithful Winchester
in his hands, and three shots quenched the
enthusiasm of all the strikers but one. who
made for Hite with pick. but was driven
of at the point of a revolver. The operat-
ors however, feared another outbreak and
called on the county officials for aid. To-
night organizers are there and they say all
the men will join the strikers. but Hite
stated that all or most of the men would
be at work tomorrow.
"At our conference" said President
