VOICES MUST BE PLEASANT
Hospital Nurses Undergo Course Of
Training in Some Institutions to
Cultivate Refined Speech.

eff the success or failure Of a physi.
clan is, in some cases as least, deter.
mined by his tongue, how much more
important is this matter of speech to
the nurse, who must be constantly with
the patient, and whose every look and
gesture are watched-targets for criti.
cism, silent or open," writes DR.. Irving
W. Voorhees, in the Nurse. sit is said
that in some hospitals this question
of refined, pleasing speech has become
a part of the nurses course Of train
ing, and that she is demerited for dis
regard of the principles as set forth
by her teachers. Although I have no
personal knowledge of these hospitals,
it is certainly a contamination devout-
ly to be wished that every one who
comes into the sick room should know
how to speak softly and %agreeably."
Doctor Voorhees, says European ma
lions realize the Importance of the
nurses voice and insist upon it far
more than we do. And any woman
who plans to become a hospital nurse
and has not a pleasing voice already
should start at once to cultivate one.
The sick are very sensitive to voices
the blind are especially affected by
harsh voices, so much so that some
wealthy blind men will not permit a
person whose voice is not pleasant to
come nea them.

dent prediction that the operation Of
the railroads under government con-
troll would eventually relieve the

the need of fastening the passage of
the railroad bill, which guarantees an
income to the railroads and their
Grafton.
He said it was absolutely neces-
sary that the financial situation
should be entirely relieved and the
holders of railroad securities given
assurance their interests would be
guarded. This was all the more nee
essary, MIR. McAdoo said, since the
government was planning to put out
some $40, OOO, 100000 more Of Liberty
bonds before July 1.
The secretary was asked by mem
bers Of the committee when the next
