He noted the great advancement and
rapid strides that have been made along
medical lines within the last score OF

trained nurse is noble and unselfisb
calling. He bespoke sympathetic re-
ception TO all nurses by individual fami-
lies. the majority of whom, he said
think they know more than the nurse
does. "A said cooperation Of the fam
iIy means a great deal TO the nurse and
will help her TO do her work more ef-
