 Class work this last winter was most satisfactory. Nurses have spent two hours 1 each evening in the class room with a teacher, either at oral or written ques- tions. This systematic study has laid the foundation for the nurse to appreciate the lectures which will be given by the | doctors on the staff next winter. | Notwithstanding that the hospital has been laboring under the disadvantage of having practically all new nurses in the school, yet they have each day had their | time off duty dwo hours) which rest | from ward work and fresh air and which | has enabled them to study at p. m.
