SCHOOL A GREAT SUCCESS
Hospital Association to Meet in Annual
Session on Next Friday Evening
to ELECT Directors and Lay
Plans for New Hospital

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Kenosha Hospital Association
held at the home of Mrs. James Cava-
uagh on Prairie avenue Monday even
ing, arrangements we're completed
for the first annual commencement of
the Kenosha hospital training school,
which is to be held at the Guild Hall
during the last week in June. The
event will be one of great importance
to the Hospital Association and the
friends of the hospital. Four young
women who have completed the two
years course of the training school
will receive diplomas at the COM
meucement and some distinguished
physician or hospital worker from
Chicago or Milwaukee will deliver
the annual address.
The four young women who are to
receive diplomas as trained nurses
Miss Teresa M. Mooney, of Racine;
Miss Carrie Candlish, of Fondldu Lac;
Miss Belle VanLiere and Miss Grace
Mueller, both of Kenosha. The four
young women have been in the train
ing school for the past two years and
they have given a decidedly good
account of themselves. All of them
have received their practical work in
the hospital. The proficiency shown
by the four young women is a gre at
testimonial to the work that has been
done by the training school.
When the school was opened two
years ago the directors of the Associa
ton were a little slow to take up the
idea Of training school, but the re.
suits of the first two years have more
than shown the value of such a
school. Many Young women from Ke-
training school and it is expected
that the class TO be graduated next
year will be larger than the one this
year. The instruction in the school
has been largely given by Kenosha
doctors and it is said that the lectures
given by the physicians have been
the equal, if not the superior, of any
given in the great hospitals of Chi
cago and New York. The diplomas
granted by the Kenosha Hospital will
be recognized by the State of Wiscon-
sin and by the Illinois Nurses Associ-
alton. An interesting program is be-
ing prepared for the first commence
ment and it will be given to the pub
lie later.
At the meeting Of the directors
Monday night the report of the treas
urer was presented, and it showed
that the Association now has more
than $500 on hand The annual
meeting of the Association will be
held on next Friday evening, at
which time the annual reports of all
of the officers will be presented and
two directors will be elected to take
the place of John O'Donne11 and
Frank Truax, whose terms expire at
that time.
AT this meeting the members of the
Association will also take up the
question of building a new hospital,
and an effort will be made to make
some plans for the future. The pres
ent building is all too small for the
demands of the city, and at many
times in the year the hospital is
crowded with patients. It is thought
that there will be many people who
will be willing to give to the fund for
new hospital, and as soon as some
definite plan is worked out the wor k
of raising the money needed will be
started. It is hoped that every mem.
Der of the Hospital Association as
well as others interested in the work
will attend the meeting.
