Efficiency for the Amateur Nurse
BIZ LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

nurse can prove herself competent is to
| follow the directions of the physician to
| the letter 1t is not sign of inefn-
cheney, but a the opposite, for the home
nurse to write down the instructions
as the doctor gives them. Memory may
prove faulty if relied upon. especially
under conditions of stress. Not only
will this relieve her of the mental strain
of attempting to remember all she is
told, but it will assure the physician
that she is dependable in her role.
One of the disadvantages of playing
nurse in the home is the lack of au-
thority attached to the position. A
graduate nurse entering the same sur
roundings as stranger and expert. Is de-
ferred to much more. When it is q ia
miiiar member of the family, no such
Difference is paid, and the invalid may
assume the attitude of coaXing for GER
tain forbidden things, or refusing Others
which are prescribed. 1t is then that
the home nurse must make the patient
feel that 1t is not her hand in the mat
ter but the doctors, which is to be re-
spected She has the privilege, alike
with the professional, of calling up the
doctor and comforting with him. This
is not an unprofeSSional move to take.
as even the trained nurse finds need of
having her position strengthened by
the physicians cooperation at times.
Some home nurses like to dress the
part" Though they are not supposed
to actually duplicate the costume of a
graduate nurse, they can approximate it
by wearing Starched linen or striped
cotton or percale This may help the
sick person to accept the member of
the family in role of nurse more read
lily than otherwise.
A nurse. whether professional or not.
should have a soothing personality, or
try to cultivate it if it is not hers by
nature. Certain definite measures are
possible TO all She should not appear
to be rushing in order to get to other
duties, she should not sing, whistle or
cause unnecessary noise, such as the
loud raising of window, or Slamming
of a door She should be quick to re-
alize what annoys the patient and what
pleases her, and see that the former
things are avoided by herself and others
who come into the room. and the latter
emphasized. All of these attributes may
be summed up in the word tact. which
is as essential to the trained nurse. as
to the amateur. Anything which an
tagonizeS patient makes him or her
nervous. and causes unfortunate reac-
ton upon the physical condition.
Light by day and night should be
well adjusted so as not to irritate the
patient, yet to shed sufficient illumina-
ton Ahould reading be a diversion.

THE GARDEN
BY MARY POTTER DAVIS.
(Copyrisht, 1921

A garden OF Rome helped to avenge
the murder of the man who, created it.
The gardens of Caesar, on the Janicu-
lum, were laid out by direction of Julius
Caesar, "A temple was dedicated to
Fortune near the Tiber," says Tacitus,
I'm the garden bequeathed to the
Roman people by Caesar the dictator"
In the play Julius Caesar" Shake
speare recalls this fact of Roman his
tory, and weaves into the Grafton of
Marc Antony, at the burial of Caesar,
a reminder of the gift of the great
Emperor, these gardens which Caesar
had designed as pleasure grounds and
had willed to the people at his death:
Moreover, he hath left you all his walks,
On this side Tiber; he hath left them you,
And to your heirs forever common pleasures
To walk abroad, aud recreate yourselves.
1t was after this evidence of the
Emperor's love for them, so cunningly
introduced as the final chord on the
harpstrings of their emotions. that the
tickle populace, which had a short time
before lent wiling ear 70 tns eloquence
OF his mt: d.rsrs. rushed off to avenge
his death.
The garden of Maecenas, on the Es-
outline, was created to do away with
the discomfort and danger from a great
open ditch into which the city refuse,
bones of human bodies--generally slaves
and criminals-and bodies of dead ami
mails had been thrown during a time
of unusual sickness. Realizing the risk
to the health of the people living near
by, Maecenas. the prime minister. by
permission OF the Emperor, ordered new
earth laid TO depth of 20 or 80 feet,

Is referred to by several of the Roman
authors. In one of his satires Horace
praises his friend Maecenas: To-day
We may live on a wholesome Esquiline
and stroll on the sunny rampant, where
Of late one sadly looked on ground
CHASTITY with bleaching bones"
At the death Of Maecanas the gar
dens became the property of Emperor
Augustus, descending to the Roman
Emperors in turn The house of Mae
cenas, in these grounds, Is mentioned
by Suetonius when he describes the
scene as Nero watched the burning of
Rome: This fire he beheld from
tower in the house of Maecenas, and,
being greatly delighted with the beau
tiful effects of the confiagration, sang
a poem on the ruin of Troy, In the
tragic dress he used on the stage"
Archeologists are deeply interested in
a ruined building, generally. thought to
be an auditorium, found i'm these gar

to show that it had semi-circular seats,
