preston of the gratitude of the
Greek people for the service which
the Near East Relief has rendered
to them in their days of distress.
Miss MacFarland, whose father
is a professor in the University of
Pennsylvania Medical School and
an eminent writer of medical books,
came to Greece three years ago
and has figured prominently as one
of the heroines Of the Smyrna dis
aster, as director of an orphanage
of two thousand children, and as a
cool and courageous figure in a
theater panic where she was re
sponsible for saving many lives.
Her selection is a tribute to the
skill and proficiency of American
nursing and to the splendid type of
women produced by American nurs-
ing schools.
