The school, which is now entering its
fifteenth year, is the outgrowth of that
broad humanity which would bring to-
the aid of physical suffering not only the
sympathy, tenderness and love which
only a woman can give, but the trained
hand, the observant eye, the skillful
touch Of that woman whose intelligence
has kept pace with her heart, and who,
taking up this noble calling as life
work, bends to it all the energies of her
being, all the faculties of her soul, and
the truest impulses of her. heart that hui
mainly may walk again in health and
strength.
The skillful hand, the we'll equipped
offices of the nurse, who knows her
duty, are in constant demand, and the
call for them is ever widening. This

erto unconscious of the hidden powers
that lay within her, has found in this
great school the opportunity for that

heart, the answer to the divine call in
her heart, the response to the still
small voice. ever urging upward and
onward that human misery and pain
may be relieved. u

thousand patients, male and female, of
all classes, races and conditions, are
treatd in the Charity Hospital of New
Orleans every month. The nurses con-
nected with its training school have the
benefit of receiving instruction and
training at the bedside of this enormous
number of patients; the experience thus
gained, together with the knowledge ac-

most distinguished medical men in the
country, eminently fits them TO attain
success and independence in their
chosen profession.
