FIVE NURSES GET
THEIR DIPLOMAS
Commencement Exercises at
Delaware Hospital Train
ing School Last Night
DR.. JOSEPH P. WALES
ADDRESSED GRADUATES

The tenth annual commencement eX-
ercises of the Delaware Hospital
Training School for Nurses was held
in the Bush ward Of the hospital last
night The attendance was unusually
large, the ward being taxed beyond its
capacity. Lewis p. Bush. of the hos
pital trustees. presided in a floral
bower and flowers were placed about
the assembly hall The graduates
were Miss Mary A. Tomany, Miss
Ellen NJ. Grieneisen. Mrs. Anna Jane
Nelly, of Wilmington; Miss Margaret
E. Forsyth, of Iron Hill, Md, and Miss
Cecilia Gallaher, Of Freeland Pa
After the guests and officers of the
hospital had occupied the platform
and the graduates had taken their
seats in the forepart Of the hall,
Bishop John J. Monaghan, of the
Roman Catholic diocese of Wilmington
offered the invocation. A musical pro-
gram was presented. and Mr.. Bush
then welcomed the guests. He told Of
the work of the hospital and of its
needs and thanked the graduates for
their faithful attention to study. Mr..
Bush then introduced DR.. Joseph p
medical profession in Whining ton, as
the speaker to the graduates. After
congratulating the class and ennob-
ling the profession of nursing, DR..
Wales said in part:
THE first thing is to be a good
nurse. one who will make herself in
dispensable in any position she may
be-in private nursing in the hos
pital. in district nursing or in the
army Make every patient feel that
she or he cannot do without you and
that it's a pleasure to have you about.
You must be learning all the time just
as a doctor is always learning from
the time he starts until he ceases the
active practice of his profession.
You will find that the similarity
! between your work and that of the
I doctor is marked. Both should have
the same professional ideals and OBJ
serve the same professional silence
about their cases. Both professions
should be knit closely together.
Nurses. of course, have the privi-
/ lege Of refusing 10 take certain cases
but it seems as if they did this at times
on unwarranted or trihing grounds
Some refuse contagious cases, some
when there are children in the family;
others don't want surgical cases OF
nervous cases and so on. 1t would
seem as If doctors were not the only
ones 10 take up specialties. Be careful
you don't get the same ridicule which
doctors sometimes get in this respect
Should Have Tact.

BLAZING TRAIN
MAKES WILD RUN
P. B. 6 W. Engineer Risks
Collision to Save Freight.
From Loss by Fire

With carload OF blazing cotton at
tached, through p, b. and w. freight
train from the South arrived last night
at the Forty-frst street freight station
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Phila-
delphia, where a half dozen fire en-
gines were waiting to extinguish the
blaze.
When the train got three miles north
3of Chester one Of the forward cotton
cars in the long freight caught fire, it
is thought from sparks carelessly
thrown from tramp's pipe. Having
neither sufficient water nor apparatus to
fight the blaze, the crew stopped the
train while a message was dispatched
TO Philadelphia, notifying the Forty
first street station of the mishap. Harry
Walker. the engineer, at the risk of a
collision, put on all speed and ran to
Philadelphia.
Leaving a trail Of flame and smoke
for nearly a quarter of a mile i'm its
wake, the train was rushed at high
speed towards Philadelphia, while the
crew struggled to extinguish the sparks
which fell on the rear cars.
For miles along the tracks people
ran from their houses to witness the
strange sight of a blazing train
Through the efforts Of the fireman
Frank Timer, and two train hands
the fire was prevented from spreading
to the cars behind. all of them filled
with valuable cotton. Together with
the trainment, Timer lay on the car
behind the one on fire beating out
sparks. Both the engineer and the
fireman were burned about the hands
and face. but they refused to go to a
hospital and were treated in a nearby
drug store.
