Bt OROIX A 1D Continued from Ist page. . { work, if her heart is not init.....To } be sure. he wanted to see more girls | turned out for the Municival Hospital. ... Continuing he spoke of the very valu- able assistance rendered by therAmeri- can Red Cross. but for whose aide there would not be such a hospital, ete. He also thanked the members of the Colonial Council for having passed the Budget granting a certain sum of m.ney without one dess:ntient voice. | Touching finally upon a few needs of | the Hospital, but which he hoped soon | to remedy, he introduced Rev Leslie, | who was appointed to make the address | of the evening. And an address it was | too simple, honest and truthful in its [ characteristics, but nevertheless, flow- ing with rhetoric, of which Mr. Leslie | seems to be a perfect master. Os course, in so small a paper as ours, | it is impossible to reproduce every sen- tence word for word; suffice it is. | however, to say, that though compara- tively brief, he kept the large audience, | charmed by his eloquence in his re- marks, he touched upon the value of good nursing, showing how invariable it is to the full recovery to health, and told of his personal experience when he lay some years ago so seriously ill, that his life was despaired of, of the kindness of the nurses that attended him, and of his undying gratitude to them for what they had done for him; how the | graduation of the pupils marked a great period in the life of the hospital, and congratulated them upon the suc- cess they had achieved in their pupil- age. Touching upon nursing as a pro- fession, he paid in his eloquent man- | ner, a glowing tribute to th2 art; and | continuing descanted some length up- | on the question of business life and the difference theie is between ‘'a | trade, and a profession.”’ ? It was a good address, on the conclu- | sion of which, the speaker received an | ovation. | There now followed the event of the | evening; the presentation o diplomas to | the pupils, which was performed by Dr. | Lane, after a few remarks, in which he | told of the great pleasure it gave him to | perform that ceremony. Standing in a | line the pupils, who were Misses lanthe | glyden, Julia Bryan, Eilen Erichsen, | Clementia Parry, Blanche Seaton, and | Eugenie Tranberg, received, with a few | words of commendation, their diploma. | This very interesting part of the pro- | gramme was then followed ny a song | ““Absent’’by Mr. Philip Gomez to the accompaniment of Mr. Hugo Pcrnn, and which was both well-rendered and re- ceived. There were to have been two | songs sung, but owing to the indisposi- tionof the songster, the one was can- celled. There then followed the Benedict:on pronounced by Rev. Griffiths,after which the audience stood ‘‘at attemiion” to the strains of the Natioral Anthem. The principal exercises ror the even- ing ovar, the balance of the time was given up to dancing, the hall of which was set a-rolling by Dr Lane, and which entered into with great relish and gusto, was kept up unti! midaigbt, when happy and elated, one and all sought their home. This, the training and graduation of pupil nurses is a red-letter day, oot only in the life of the Hospiral, buc in the his- tory of the island. for never before was such a thing known to occur. It’s a great thing for our ‘‘girls;”” and we heartily congratulate them upon tke attainment of the honor, and wish them every abun- dant success in their avocation. [l'heirs is a high and noble calling, though at pres- ent hardls appreciated by rhe public at large. Letus ope, however, that their lives willbe so examplary and suecesstul, as to be a never ceasing source of inspira- tion to others; so that at no very far dis- tant date there will be a surplus of good and efficient nurses to minister to the needs of the community should any dire calamity befall us. Let us also trustithat we will always have good, efficient and conscientious donctors and nurses as the present, to take an interest in and train our '‘girls’’ to a higher, robler life.—St. Thomas Mail Notes, Feb. 7th.
