canization. "The Kenosha hospital, Y
h1 declared, Sis, o monument to the
liberality Of the people of Kenosha.
1t is doing it's work we'll and it is do
ing it in a manner to reflect credit not

directors who have given much to it,
hut to the young women who have con-
sccrated their lives to the aid of the
sick in this institution" Speaking of
the training school DR.. Windesheim

been secured and other laws hoped for
