must attribute our organization; a plan
for the upbuilding and advancement OF
professional nursing; the elevation OF
the standard along education and So
clal lines, to stimulate literary interest
to seek higher ideals and ennoble the
workers to come into closer sympathy
with each other and to be able to rem
der the best possible service These
should be sufficient reasons WIN every
graduate nurse in Texas should have a
part in this association
Though young in years, We may
point with pardonable pride to the &C
complishment of much in the way Of
legislation to secure for Texas nurses
the same protection and recognition ac-
corded in other states where the work
has been longer established.
I'VE have done much but let us do
more not let US content with our con-
ditions, let US continue our progress
remembering there are greater heights
to be attained, greater proficiency to
be sought for and above all a broader
spirit of charity an dove to be culti
waited and these can only be reacaei I
through perseverance and labor"
