OF DR.. CHARLES +. QUIMBY

Hasbrouck Hall was once more the
scene of a commencement. The occasion
was the graduating exercises and recep-
ton Of the Christ Hospital Training
School for Nurses, held last evening. The
programme was not very long. blu excep-
tionally Interesting. and though the at
fair was not open to the public generally,
admission being by invitation, the hall
was we'll filed. There were twelve nurses
on the platform, all looking neatly pretty
in their costumes of blue Bingham with
white collars, cuffs, caps and aprons. Of
this number three were graduates, and
the other nine members of the Training
School. Six young ladies graduated last
evening. but as half were fortunate enough
to have cases. they could not be present.
The superintendent, Miss Johnston, rat
with the nurses.
Mr.. George Stehl. violinist. accompanied
by Mr.. E. l.. Cramner, furnished the
music. The first selection was a medley
of National airs, including Star Spangled
Banner" which brought the audience to
its feet. After prayer by the chaplain,
the Rev. Daniel +. Warren, DID,. Charles
K. Quimby, of the New York Nurses
Hospital, gave the address of the evening.
The doctor has a pleasing delivery, aside
from which fact his address was very
good, containing much Wholesome advice,
not only to the graduates. but to the doc
tors and public in general.
After thanking the graduates for the
honor thus conferred upon him, he said:
-..This ancient custom of celebrating
every change in our sphere OF activity
by public ceremonies, artistically arranged
about a formal address, has become sucn
a fxed and universal hab that familiar
ity often blunts our appreciation Oh IT'S
significance. Advice means looking at
or into with the distinct Idea of looking
into the future. Nc thoughtful, Intelligent
physician walks his hospital ward for a
year. nay, for a month, without being
able to point out the forces in character
which assure success to one man ana
make failure equally certain for another.
Ability to foresee the future. for others at
least. is not, therefore, a supernatural
gift. From this it at once become evident
that knowledge of these laws of success
ia the basis of all true advice, and advice
based on such knowledge is simply a
looking at Individual forces Of character
and estimating their combined value
