Sever eight years ago Newman. England had
within IFS walls four students-Mss Elliott and
Miss Aliridge. English women Miss Lyster. an
Irish woman. and Miss Douglas. American.
These women great friends and all imbued
with natural love for teaching Many were the
conversations held this subject OF education and
their everyday experiences all utilized for or
against their theories All their future plans tended
toward creating an opportunity for putting their
theories into practice.
Four wears ago. after they had all taken their
degrees with the aid Of friends and in conjunction
with the Rev 5. w Stevens. Cambridge man.
they opened a school after their own hearts"
They began the school with only seven pupils but
IL now numbers seventy.
This Bourne school for girls. at Parkstone. In
Dorchester. England. is situated in the famous
pine woods that lie along the coast. and has ad-
vantages for all outdoor sports The roads all
about delightful The school rules are remark
ably few. no governess s.eeps in the bedrooms ard
the girls are allowed to chatter at undressing time
after lights out. and the same system Is car
ried out in regard TO other necessary regulations.
This system OF trust and confidence has brought
out the best results. and the teachers are proud
of their success.
In the decoration Of their rooms the girls are al
lowed full liberty and these rooms show evidences
OF individual taste. and are models OF neatness
The collegiate plan Of keeping the schoolhouse
separate from the homes has been followed. and
the former has been built with view 10 future
enlargement. There two residence houses; the
first started was an old one. and besides It's

the students. and these rulers never forget that
their subjects will go from them, out into diner

RECOGNIZING THE NURSEN

QUESTION MOOTED

To the Editor of The Tribune.

and overheard a conversation that passed between
Major Brown surgeon and executive officer OF tho
general hospital at Camp Wikof. and Mrs jessie
Holland one Of the nurses at the camp, who II

Mrs. Holland spoke TO the Major OF the excellen,
and thorough service done by the nurses mentionA
their untiring and attention for the sick ana
suggested sort OF an appropriate medal IA
be bestowed upon them in recognition OF their
either by the head OF the medical corus
by the authorities at Washington. She asked
Major Brown If he would approve such plan n
she suggested IT, but Major Brown replied:
The good and faithful work done by the nurses
is only expression of their duty. I would no,
retain one who was not good and faithful. Al
have done WELL some OF course. better than Other.
all who have nursed throughout the numerouss
camps would make favors too cheap. No. ths
nurses will have their certificates. which will show
their service here I think, however some publc
recognition would be a good thing.
As ] have not heard OF Mrs. Holland taking anv
further steps In the matter. can you tell me Il
ANYTHING has been done In this direction?
Would II not be well IN submit the idea 10 tia
