two-months-old baby girl was
given into the keeping of Mr..

little neglected, half starved
baby required. But there
We're two big sympathetic hearts

responded TO their loving care as
a delicate plant responds TO the
warm rays of the sun. For five
months she received every care "A
mothers love could give, and
then, one day,a harsh wind came
that proved too much for the
frail little body. Pneumonia
held her in its grasp; for nine
days mother love, doctors and
nurses battled for her life. The
morning of the eighth day the
little one clinging SO hard TO life,
opened her eyes and looking into
the eyes of the only mother she
had ever known said, mamma. "
The tired eyes closed and she
rested easily until the end came
at four O'Clock Monday morning,
when with one deep breath it's

soul 10 return TO the God who
gave it. Surely in heavens gar

acres OF virgin land along the water

can deny. The fact that 1872 more
pupils enrolled this year than last
in the public schools is convincing
evidence that this must be true II
must also be undisputable evidence
that St. Johns is rapidly approach

are an increased and insistent de-
mand for vacant houses, which is

vessel there. \ hint, reinforced by two
guns. was all the French vessel required,
and being accompanied toward the sea, II
sailed away never to return. Then the
vessels went north and established a col
ony in the nelghborhood OF Albany.
on December 10. 1925, another coloniz-
ing party set forth from Holland. II
sailed from Amsterdam in the Sea New.
Among it's passengers were Peter Minuit,
who was 10 be the director general Of the
colony, and his council of five. Held by
the ice In the Zuyder Zee, the harbor Of
Texel was not finally cleared until Janu-
airy 9. 1926. Early In May, after a voy
age many times as long in point of time
as a voyage of the Mauretania, the Sea
New arrived opposite Manhattan. Here
its passengers were landed. and. as has
been described. the site OF the future me-
tropols was duly bargained for with the
Indians. The colonists planted grain, It

women. It must. in short. keep pace
with modern education.
I'VE cannot produce good visiting
nurses unless we have good training
schools" remarked Miss Nutting. "Ws
cannot go any higher than the training
school OF course. there are few
schools which stand very high by virtue
of the sood educational opportunities they
offer their students. Among these is
Johns Hopkins, OF Baltimore, which has
an eight-hour day for the students
Others are st. Luke's, the Presbyterian
and Bellevue hospitals. of New York; tho
Massachusetts General Hospital. Of Bos-
ton, and the Lakeside, OF Cleveland
"The day has passed in hospital or
training school for the long hours which
were formerly required. Necessary as
these might seem for hospital work, II Is
now realized that they are in no sense
advisable, or even necessary, for the prop
err training or education OF the nurse It
has become quite clear that the hospital
must lean less heavily on the training
school, and that II must have a nursing
staff somewhat independent of training
schools. The training school hospitals
must begin TO face the proposition of pay
ing for a certain proportion OF their work
which. in the earlier days, could be turned
over 10 the training school,
I'm saying this I do not mean to init
mate that the work OF the pupil nurse
should be made easy. But IL is quite true
that her hours are too long and thAs
there Is little chance for recreation during
the two or three years she is learning.
She is entirely cut off from other infu-
ences. These things need r'medying."
The traine3 nurse has boone fac ~
in modern civilization, and no eff~~t
should be spared to develop in her those
fine qualities. whether executive, scientific
or humane. which will make her master
OF circumstance. In times of disaster,
when floods or earthquakes come. she Is
the potent ally of the physician. and with
out her ne becomes helpless
But whether she works in times of peace
or stress, she must always deal with prob
lens which reach deeper than the cure Of
disease. She must minister to those who
have fallen by the wayside. to those who
are sick both in body and mind. She Is
the friendly hand outstretched to the man
who is down.
