each year has been observed as "An-
niversary and Donation Day"
More than usual Interest was mani
tested This year. many people visited
the hospital, and many generous dona-
lions were sent. The nurses were kept
busy during the day showing the
guests through the building, which
presented a well kept appearance due
10 the slsillful management or the bup-
erlntendent, MrS. y ]. Johnson.
The pupil nurses have rendered sat.
iBiactory service both In the hospltai

cIal credit Is due to themselves as at
fentiYe students, and also to the care
fnl training Of the head nurse.

attention given the patients by inc
piiySicians and surgeons OF the stan,
