and suffering. The profession of
nursing is calling for girls to train
themselves to serve humanity in the
greatest way. The sick, like the poos,
We have ever with us. To cure and
care for them will require the services
of great many more nurses than
there are in the United States at the
present time. The girl who wishes
to make her life truly of the greatest
purpose will be glad to consider the
qualifications which are necessary
for the efficient nurse.
"The girl who considers taking up
nursing as vocation should have GER
tain personal gifts which if she does
not possess, she can acquire. One
who would be good nurse, must be
able to take orders and follow them
to the letter, must be accurate, pa
tient, kind, willing, and of at least a
fairly even temper. Every one of us,
but especially those who deal with the
sick, need sense of humor. It is
the the one quality, which as well

things that overweight and over
tired working men and women are
likely to do. Miss Isabel Maitland
Stewart, Assistant Professor of Nurs-
ing and Health, Teachers College,
Columbia University, says: "A nurse
should be strong, because people will
lean on her; she should be trust
worthy because. people will confide in
her; she must have certain steadi-
ness and self-reliance, for heavy res
possibilities will sometimes be put on
her. Needless to say, she should
have the spirit of service, and a SIN
cere interest in human beings of all
classes and kinds. Tact, and the
right kind of sympathy, are highly
important; sense of humor, resourc-
fulness and adaptability, one would
be inclined to put among the essen
tials."
Accredited hospital training
schools for nurses require the appli-
cants be graduated from high schools
and to pass physical examination.
The course lasts for three years, and
consists in practical work caring for
the patients under supervision of
graduate nurses and in study of
