school of Columbia and Children's hospi-

last evening in University Hall of the

being the commencement exercises of the

The exercises were opened with musical

missioner Mcfarland was the principal
speaker of the evening.
The community is interested in the grad

services of one of these nurses he said.
This is why We obtained from Congress at
the last session a law for the registratio
and examination of trained nurses which is
already working well and will raise the
standing of the profession. Doubtless there
are among such a large number as the
whole of the trained nurses in the District
of Columbia some who are unworthy but
for the most part we can confidently say
that they deserve well of the community.
Many of them show real heroism and self
sacrifice This is especially true of the
nurses of the Instructive Visiting Nurses
Society. who visit the poor and teach
them how to nurse their sick. 1t was
great pleasure for me to learn that large
gift had been made toward the endowment
of this highly useful society, with which
