Address to Graduates.

Hon. II. b. F. Macfarland, president
OF the Board OF District Commissioners,
delivered an address TO the graduates. in
which he said in part:
Clara Barton and Florence Nightin-
gale arc the only nurses the whole world
knows by name. Special abilities and
special opportunities have given them
;asting fame, but the world knows that
there ar. thousands OF other women who
have shown like qualities in the same
aeld OF effort. and it honors them as
class, even though their service is en-
tirely behind the veil of private life.
1T is significant that the type, the
Intelligent, educated, faithful. and yea
lous nurse. is established in the pGblic
mind and crowned with the honor of
universal admiration. The rare case OF
a departure from the type is regarded
with surprise as well as regret 1t is
felt to be singular and astonishing
"It is soon forgotten in the general
praise merited and given in the cases
Of the vast majority of the women who
practically make up this profession. For
while there are men nurses. and they
are honorable and useful, they are few
In number comparatively; and when We
think of nurses We think OF women.
They are especially fitted by nature
in character and in capacity for this
difficult and delicate employment. They
have shown the mselves worthy to be
intrusted with its great and exacting
responsibilities. They have shown pa
thence and courtesy and courage as well
as the commoner qualities which make
for success.
We do not commonly think OF them
as heroines except when they go TO
battleields or epidemic fields; but we
know that In the unregdrded routine of
their daily duties every one of them
shows heroism in emergencies which, If
shown by soldiers and sailors, would
win them medals of honor.
1t ought 10 encourage them IT, In
loneliness and under stress, they are
ever discouraged. to know that they are
decorated in the hearts Of the men and
women around them and who may not
ever know them personally. with re
spect and regard, such as even medals
Of honor do not always draw forth"

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
General and Personal Items From the
West End

The need of an ambulance for the George
town University Hospital is becoming, it Is
said more and more imperative and as a
result a movement has been started among
the residents of the western section of the
city for the purpose of obtaining the de-
sired vehicle. Mr. Logan Owens of the
Georgetown University has charge of the
matter. 1t Is said there are number of
entertainments in prospect. the proceeds
OF which will go to the fund for the am
buianCe. 1t is claimed that facilities for
transporting emergency cases to the insti-
tuition are very poor and on this account
delays are often caused. When q call for
an ambulance Is received at the hospital
the seventh precinct police station is tele-
phoned. and the patrol wagon attached to
that station is dispatched to the point from
which the emergency message is received.
This procedure consumes considerable time
and the citizens of the section are of the
opinion that better facilities should be ac-
