Miss Janet Dewar, head nurse in
the Children's hospital at Honolulu,
conducted the examinations in most
businesslike, though pleasing manner
and won the unbounded appreciation
OF the entire class. .s
Much credit for the success OF the
class is due Mrs Augustine Mcintyre,
class president, and Mrs. Charles
Lloyd, secretary and treasurer OF the
class. These two ladies worked un-
tiringly and cheerfully, giving much
OF their time to the details involved
and keeping the scheme running
smoothly. The class was indeed for
tunate to have Mrs. Mcintyre for an
organizer. She appreciated the me-
cessity for this instruction, having
seen strenuous service as a Red Cross
nurse on the Austrian front during
the present European war.

Instruction did not take the examine
