Hospital Training School
ADDRESS BY DR.. C. F. ADAMS
Suggestions are Made to the Board Of
Directors for Extension of the
Work of the Training School
at This Time

The second commencement exercises
of the training school of the Kenosha
Hospital were held at the auditorium
of the Y. M. G. A. building on Friday
evening and crowd of people which
taxed the capacity of the large audi
forum attended the exercises and by
their presence testified to the strong
interest that is being taken in the work
OF The hospital and the training school.
The auditorium was prettily decorated
for Sha occasion with the hospital mot
to sOur Lives Devoted occupying a
conspicuous place in the front Of the
room. Two young ladies, Miss Anna
Mickelsen and Miss Elizabeth Ander-
sen, received diplomas comforting on
them the title of .'Graduate Nurses"
after a very interesting program had
been rendered.
The program opened with an invoca-
ton by the Rev. Scion Cary Bronson,
D D., the pastor of Park avenue M. E..
church. Three songs were charming
ly rendered by Claus William Anderson
after which reading was given by the
Rev. Florence Buck, pastor Of the
Henry M. Simmons church. Edwin
Stringham and Miss Marian Hale con
tributed two pretty duets on the violin
and piano after which DR.. George
Francis Adams Of the Pennoyer SAM
tarium delivered the annual commence
ment address. In his address DR..
Adams spoke of the organization of
the Kenosha Hospital Training School
at the suggestion of the physicians Of
the city and the work that had been
done by the school since its organiza
ton. He declared that the work of the
school should be extended so that it
would be possible for it to furnish
larger opportunities for the young
women of the city who desired to de-
vote their lives to the work of nursing
the sick. He paid high tribute to the
nurses profession declaring that the
nurse was to the physician what the
arch-deacon was to the bishop. He
declared that the position of nurse
brought with it responsibilities of the
Igreatest nature and urged the young
women receiving diplomas to live
iwomanly lives in order to be an honor
ito their profession and to the train
ing school which had awarded them
their degrees. DR.. Adams during his
lecture suggested that steps be taken
Ito make the training school of the
hospital of even greater value. He
suggested that regular faculty be Sc
cured consisting not only Of the physi-
clans of the city, but that men from all
professions be asked to become mem
bers Of the faculty. He suggested that
this faculty when properly organized
have full control Of the school under
the direction of the directors of the
Kenosha Hospital Association. With
this sort Of a faculty he declared that
the school would prove of greater value
to the young women Of the city and
that it would prove a lasting benefit
to the community in that with such a
school and such faculty more young
women would be led to adopt the ca
reer of nurse.
In the absence of z. G.. Simmons, Jr.,
the president of the Board Of Direc-
tors, the diplomas were conferred by
Attorney James CavAnagh, who made
brief remarks in giving the testi-
monlals.
After the exercises were over coffee
and sandwiches were served by the
members of the association and large
number Of the friends of the graduates
remained for this social hour.
