She experiences no restrictions other than are for her own physical and moral welfare. Her quarters are pleasant and healthful The class room is also utilized as a recreation room and this is furnished with a piano and other means of diversion. Two hours of each afternoon are the nurses own when she may do as she pleases. 1 Several times each winter informal l receptions are rendered to the nurses and every effort is made to make the social side of her life while in the in- i stiution such as will appeal to her. | Contrary to a belief that seems to have gained some credence, there is no sectarian distinction in the seIec- 1 tiOn of the members of the training | classes.

And if illness overtakes a | student during the three years of heI l course she is given the best care the l institution affords gratuitously.
