MISS HOLT LEAVES
 HILLMAN HOSPITAL

Miss Ollie B. Holt, the popular and able superintendent of the Hillman hos pital corps of nurses, announced last night she had resigned her position and would leave for New York about Jan uary l for the purpose of taking a post graduate course in trained nurs- ing. Miss Holt said she intended to return to Birmingham after she had completed the course and would make this her home. although her health would scarcely permit her ever taking up active hospital work again.
 Miss Holt has been in charge of the Hillman hospital for about a year and has proved one of the best lik ed and most efficient nurses ever placed at the head of that institution. She is particularly well liked by the members of the 1911 class which graduated this spring. The class greatly feel their loss in the resignation of Miss Holt and the hospital will greatly miss the services of a noble and conscientious woman.
