NURSES TRAINING SCHOOL
Preparation Necessary For Best Ssrv-
ice, Says Albert Howe.

Preparation Necessary For Best Serv-
ice, Says Albert Howe.
1--WE are convinced" says DIR. Albert
Howe Of the Hampton institute, that
the colored women cannot long retain
a hold upon the profession Of nursing
without training at least equal to that
enjoyed by white women. We are
equally convinced that with such train
ing they can be prepared to give as
faithful and satisfactory nursing serv-
ice as that of the white graduates Of
the northern training schools.
'It is to keep open to them means
of livelihood which they are in danger
of losing that the Hampton training
school for nurses was founded. In
asking for means to carry on this work
we feel that we have only to appeal to
the common sense and love of fair play
that characterizes the best people Of
this country"
The Hampton training school for
nurses has connected with 1t the Dixie
hospital. containing twenty-one beds.
which does a needed work for the poor
of the neighborhood, besides furnish
Ing practice for the students of the
school.
During the twenty-five years IN
which the hospital has been in opera
ton 4. .292 patients have been cared FOR,
13S nurses have been graduated and
twenty-four nurses are now Q9l3-l4,
taking their course of training.
The graduates who have gone out
and begun work as private nurses in
different parts of the south are in con
tinual demand at wages varying from
$40 to $40 week. This fact shows
the need of just the work that the
Hampton training school is trying to
accomplish by furnishing skilled nurs-
ing service for the lower peninsula of
Virginia that is at present almost en-
tirely without such service. and by re-
tanning in the hands of the trained
colored women a profession for which.
even without training. the colored
women have always shown themselves
especially adapted.

people who are sorry now that the
Government land is all gone adjoining
Deerfield. and that they listened TO
the knockers. There has been enough
done by those who have been there for
s$-ee years to prove the possibilities
OF the soil If the settlers do their duty
toward It. Every man and woman in
Deerfield is on his and her own res
ponsibility, and the degree of success
attained depends wholly on the effort
put forth. Whatever the other fellow
does, will not have any bearing what
ever on the success you have, but you
must plan for yourself and keep with

crops and cultivate your land. We now
have prospects for very successful

Deerfield is the coming community

ten years of hard struggle we have got

many who haa an opportunity to settle

that they did not take advantage OF
the opportunity
