state her physical condition, dentist re-
ports on the condition OF her mouth and
teeth and her last employer furnishes q

Having mastered this mystery she is
next taught to arrange linen closet In

more linen closets In which are kept the
sheets, pillow cases and towels for the
ward. In this room, as well as in every

Some hospitals require considerable
manual labor of q nurse. and in these she
is next taught to sweep and scrub floors
and to dust and clean the furniture In
the ward. From these uninteresting
tasks she progresses gradually to the
taking Of temperatures and the counting
of the pulse and respiration. she Is taught
