invited guests in attendance. "A
program of unusual interest was CIV
len, beginning at o'clock and clos
ling at $50, at which time ABOUT $50
of the guests went TO the Huber hall
lwhere dancing was enjoyed until mid

| Or. w. B. Hinsdale, dean of the
Homeopathic department of the Uni
versity of Michigan, delivered the
class address. He spoke for
about 20 minutes, saying
much of value and interest to the
graduates. Throughout his address

regarding the life of nurse and the
Importance of her services compared
to those of the doctor. He offered
many words of advice and counsel for
the graduates.
IF / were undergoing what the
laity terms a run of typhoid fever"
said Dr. Hinsdale, "and, I were given
my choice between having a doctor
or a nurse, l would choose the
nurse.
The speaker pointed out the mum.
ierous hardships of the trained nurse
and said that the average length of
time during which nurse serves be-
fore being forced TO retire is from
seven to nine years.
The death rate among physicians
bears ratio of two to one to the
death-rate among ministers and law
yers, the speaker said This gives an
idea of the more trying hardships
and the continuous exposure to which
the doctor is subjected.
To give conception Of the dang
ers which the trained nurse must
face and the strenuous life which she
must lead, DR.. Hinsdale said that
the death rate among nurses is just
double that among doctors. TO IL
lustrate this. he said that in case
of diphtheria, the nurse is exposed
continually night after night and
day after day. while the doctor only
visits the patient a half hour at a
time or less.
In their training, nurses are taught
to exercise continual care and pre-.
caution. Dr. Hinsdale said that dur
ing their work they may be inclined
to become careless or indifferent and
to overlook these seeming minor de-
tails which they were taught whilf
in school. Such negigences may
prove serious. and the doctor adj
vlsed The graduates always to be care
full

Grace Mcdonald South Charleston,
