BACKDS HOSPITAL NURSES GRADUATE
Six Members in Class of 198-Pzes to Miss Barbara Bla Miss Gladys M Beebe, Miss Ethel M Brown, and Miss Alice McGuire-Rev Dr. S. H. Howe Addresses Gradu- ating Class.

On Tuesday evening in the H Fl. osgood Memorial the graduating ex- ercises of the class of 1918 of the ". w. Backus hospital training school took place in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends of Inc members of the class. The Memorial was handsomely decorated With ferns, palms and flowers.
 Preceding the program, the Harmony club rendered several selections. The exercises opened with prayer by Rev. J. H. Newland, pastor of Trinity Methodist church. The address to the graduating class was made by Rev. s. H. Howe, D. D., who spoke in highest terms of the class and the calling which they had chosen. Personality, said DF. Howe, is one of the most important things in life. There is science, power of invention and other things, but if good comes of them it must come through the person with a personality. In your work as nurses much f5your success will depend upon the development of strong personal ity.
 Personality enters into ones acts. People with different personalities vii! do different thing. We see this in the works of the famous poets and artists. Their personality shows in their works. It is not what we get out of our work but what we give to the world and others about us. If we give the best we will be successful. You nurses not only want to get a living out of your work but you want to give your best to the world.
 Another thing I wish to emphasize. said Dr, Howe, is the making of this work your avocation, not just your vocation. The first thing to do is to fall in love with your work. Do not think that it is drudgery. but think of it as something that you like to do and is your duty. Your motto is God and Duty. Dividing that word duty up, we have first, duty to God, duty to others and, last, duty to self. With this ever before you. you will be a success and contribute something to the world which is a sacred duty.
 In closing, Dr. Howe paid tribute to Florence Nightingale, the first woman nurse, who administered aid tc the suffering soldiers in the Crimean war.

St Joseph's Sodality and Literary association is one of the local societies that has been so hard hit by war con- ditions and the withdrawal of young men from the town that the officers are considering whether it will be worth while to keep the rooms in the Uncas National bank building open any longer during the period of the war.
 There are so few young men who formerly used the rooms that now re- sort there that this is quite a problem for the society. The situation was brought up at a special meeting held on Monday evening and it was left to the officers to take the matter into consideration and make recommenda- tions to later meeting of the Sodal- ;ty
