NEGRO GIRLS AS NURSES.
Chicago Institution Which Fits
Them for That Profession.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
There is a hospital in Chicago where ne
gro girls and women are taught the pro-
fession Of nursing. This institution is
the Providence Hospital and Training
School. Thirty-sixth and Dearborn
streets. It was founded IN 1891 and is
supported by voluntary contributions.
This institution was founded through the
united efforts Of a few earnest negro
men. These founders We're poor, and the
race they sought 10 benefit was an humble
one. Il was through the generosity Of
such men as Philip ID. Armour, Nathan
N. FreeT, Herman II. Kohlsaat, George
N. Pullman George II. Webster, and
many others that the organization was
enabled TO weather the storms of early
years and erect and maintain an insutu-
ton that Is the equal OF the best IN Chi
cagO.
Here in this hospital during the fifteen
years of its existence over 5000 persons
have been treated, and Of this number
the majority were poor and unfortunate.
Last year 1855 patients were treated in
the dispensary alone. In the same time
a large number of negro girls and WO-
men have been fitted for life work as
nurses. and the most Of them have gone
out TO FL important places in Institutions
in the South. II is interesting to note
that when Booker T. Washington OPEN
ed a hospital in connection with his in
stitution In Tuskegee, Miss Nellie Single
ton. who was graduated from the training
school Of the Provident Hospital, was
placed at the head of the organization.
which position she held for five years.
Other nurses from the Chicago institu-
tiOn have given good service In Mr.. Wash
ingtOn's hospital.
Another nurse, Miss Emma Green, who
was graduated from the training school in
1895. went from Lakewood. y. J.. where
she had a good position, TO New York
City three years ago and established
what Is known as the Hope Day Nursery
for negro children. This she has since
maintained in a successful manner, and
it has been of much benefit 70 the poor
Of her race.
Twice during the life of the Chicago
Hospital nurses have held the place OF
superintendent with entire satisfaction 10
physicians and all others concerned one
woman was in entire charge for a year,
and another one took up the onorous du-
ties for six months.
