ST. PETER STATE HOSPITAL.

There 10 connected with this hospi-
tai a training school for nurses, OF
which the medical staff is the faculty;
the course Of instruction being car
ried out in q definite systematic man
ner, with the aid Of text books, lect-
ares, demonstrations and practical
work. This school exists not merely
for instruction in the rules and regu.
lations of the hospital, and the duties
OF attendants in the proper house
keeping of the wards, but for the
thorough teaching Of all that belongs
TO the art of nursing, so that pupils
graduating from this school shall be
able to do general sick and surgical
nursing, as we'll as the special work
of caring for the insane.
Graduates of the Training School of
this Hospital have, and do, compete
successfully with the graduates of the
large general hospitals, and their spe-
eial training fits them to do work
which the graduate OF the general
hospital can not do. The course of
training extends over period of
three years, and consists of lectures,
supplemented by the study of text
books and practical instruction in all
the details of the care Of the sick and
insane. Young women taking this
course Of training receive an amount
of culture, independent of their train
ing as nurses, which will help to fit
them for any occupation they may
choose to take up after graduation,
besides teaching them to be orderly,
methodical and accurate, and devel-
oping in them the power Of self-con-
troll.
Applicants must furnish evidence of
ct least a common school education;
should be between Is and q years OF
age. and are expected to send re-
cent photograph with the application.
A two months term of probation is
required of all who enter the employ
of the Hospital, to test their fitness
for the work.
Practitioners receive $500 during
the period of probation. Afterward
the wages are increased one dollar
per month, until the undergraduate
maximum of $500 is reached. Grad
yates may receive $4,000 per month.
All employees receive board. lodging
and laundry free.

Mrs. L. NJ. Holmes was, like other
old settlers in Mankato, very much
interested in the story that appear
ed in The Free Press last evening
relative to the early residents in
and near Garden City. Mrs. Holmes
states that she was the first teacher
that presided over the school in
the log building and that John Dag
gett was the first teacher of the
school organized in Garden City.
Charles Barney was the second
teacher. Mrs. Holmes, who was then
Miss Amanda Gail, taught classes in
the log school houses in 1858. Among
the earlier settlers were James P.
Gail, father of Mrs. Holmes, who
came to Garden City in the spring
of 1855; Williston K. Greenwood, in
1854, and l.. NJ. Holmes, 1858; also
Ethamer s. Town, in 1855. Mr..
Town was a brother-in-law of Mrs.
Holmes. Basil Moreland was an.
other early settler, coming to Gar
den City in 1854.

and F. E. Fregau left last night
for the northern part of the state
after spending several days in
Mankato organizing the new
company which will take over
the cold storage and packing
plant of Macbeth G Gardner This
plant was sold at bankruptcy
sale last week. Although the
above named men have bought
the plant and organized new
firm, the incorporation is not
quite completed. The details will
be concluded next week.
w. II. Cole President.
w. Fl. Cole, who is president
of the Cole-McDonald EXplora-
ton company of Duluth, was
elected president; T. J. Gardner,
vice president and general man
ager: F. e. Fregau, secretary;
A. NJ. MacDougal, treasurer. P.
w. Fregau, a brother to F. E.
Fregau, will remain in Mankato
as assistant treasurer of the
company TO work with Mr..
Gardner. Both Mr.. Cole and
Mr.. MacDougal are business men
of Duluth.
When seen by Free Press rep
resentative, Mr. MacDougal
said: I'VE have incorporated
company to engage in the pack
ing and produce business, buy
ing from the farmers of the
surrounding towns and dispos.
ing of the produce to the vari-
Gus markets to all points in the
country"
I'VE will start business on a
very small scale, with hopes of
building up in a very slow, con-
sentative manner. We will start
improvements by reconstructing
the plant and giving it a gen.
eral overhauling."
Before leaving last night Mr..
MacDougal stated that the mem
bers Of the new company would
come back to their first meet
ing next Monday, at which time
they would start the plant in
full operation.
The report that the Northern
Cold Storage company of Du-
luth had purchased the packing
plant is erroneous. The two
plants are entirely separate.
The name selected for the
new corporation is the Minnesota
Packing company. The capital
stock is $4,000.
