The prevailing idea Of the steerage
Of an ocean steamer is a mass OF un-
comfortable people, men. women and
babes, packed in as closely as they can
stand cooking their own food, sleeping
wherever they can find a place 10 lie
down on the deck. and living like pigs
or other animals IN a foul atmosphere
That used 10 be the case. but on the
big modern Atlantic liners the accom-
modacions in the steerage are much
more comfortable and cleanly and
healthful than the people who occupy
them are accustomed 10 at home. Not
only legislation, bu, competition among
the different companies, has accom-
plished great reforms in this direc-
tlon. The sanitary arrangements are
perfect The methods Of artificial ven
tilation, by which foul air is forced out
and pure air is forced in. keeps them
clean and sweet. and methods Of con
struction have been adopted SO that
this can be done with a minimum Of
labor
The hunks are made Of iron piping
the mattresses are OF woven bands Of
iron. which yield to the body like ord
mary bedsprings; each passenger, in
stead Of bringing his own bedding. as
was formerly the practice is given a
sufficient number OF clean blankets
and a pillow. There are bathrooms
and lavatory accommodations. which
are purified by well-known processes.
The sexes are separated; the men sleep
In one section and the women in an
otlier. and each sex has its own sep

in fields of acres in Bermuda.

test made in growing 30, 900
of the plants at the North

hope that the lilies will thrive
there, as success would not

There s no field of usefulness mo ore IN

Our &C urse Cf training covers three
years of theoretical and practical work
in the hospital. We have plenty of Pa
tients the whole year. For those who
are far enough advanced IN their lIters-
ry education, as fraduates ofnorn al OF
classical schools, the course is sTrar ged
go that they can finisn in two years.
Those who want TO continue their lit
erary and take the nurse training
course also, can do so under the three
years course, by attending the night
school for two years, after which they
enter the day school, provided they are
able to pass the eighth grade exsmina-
ton. By so doing, they earn the great
or part Of their expenses.
We know of no other hospital where
such advantages are offered to earnest
young men and women desiring to be-
come trained nurses.
Applicants may enter at any time
