Secretary Charity Hospital

Famous throughout the land is
the New Orleans Charity Hospital
Training School for Nurses, one Of
the most thorough and up-to date
institutions in the United States,
which numbers among its gradu-
ates ladies of the highest charac-
ter, worthy representatives OF the
oldest and best families of this and
other States.
The School, which is now enter
ing its fifteenth year, is the out
growth of that broad humanity
which would bring to the aid OF
physical suffering not only the
sympathy, tenderness and love
which only woman can give, but
the trained hand, the observant
eve, the sklllful touch of that wo
man whose intelligence has kept
pace with her heart, and who, tax.
ing up this noble calling as life
work, bends to it all the energy OF
her being, all the faculties OF her
soul, and the truest impulses of
her heart that humanity may be
lifted up, that the sick may walk
again in health and strength.
The skilled hand, the well
equipped Offices of the nurse, who
knows her duty, are IN demand,
and the call for them is ever Wild
ening. This may especially be
said Of the nurses who graduate
from the New Orleans Charity
Hospital School. Many woman
hitherto unconscious of The hidden
powers that lay within her, has
found in this school the opportnnl-
" for that study and development
which has proven not only a most
lucrative means of livelihood, but
far and above this, the answer to
the divine call Ia her heart, the re-
-sponse 10 The s'still small voice,
ever urging upward and onward,
that human misery and pain may
be relieved.
The school, organized from
small beginnings and enriched
by the magnificent bequest of the
late A. q. Hutchinson, has grown
to us present splendid proportions.
and proposes to aggregate a class
of over 100 students with the open
ing Of the next term. Year by
year has witnessed an extension OF
! its scope of work, SO that a two
wears course ia this institution
will not only fully equip any IN
dustrlous, intelligent female tor
this great profession of nursing,
but the experience gained in the
] famous Charity Hospital, with its
unrivaled facilities and opportunl-
ties for study and practice, gives
| its graduated nurses q distinction
that makes them so greatly sought
latter that the demand for their SER
vices Is far In excess of tue supply

offered by the school may pc

are treated in the Charity Hospital
| Of New Orleans every month. The
| nurses connected with It's Training
School have the benefit of receiy'
ing instruction and training at the
bedside of this enormous number
Of patients; the experience thus
gained, together with the knoWl'
edge acquired from the faculty q

ablest and most distinguished
] medical men in the country, emf
nently fits them TO attain success
and independence IN their chosen
