’work and study ou had fe meet and adapt yourse ves to new con- ditions, rules and regulations. In a training school for nurses there must be the most rigid discipline. In the first year you are anxious about your work. about your health, and you may be fearful that at the end of your probation period you magi not be accepted, In the second an third years you take u greater interest in your work. you begin to see the necessity for careful train- in and upon you is placed a cer- tsn amount of responsibility The attributes necessary for capable nursln are usually acquired after gradua ion but there are two that might be eveioped before complet- ing your hospital course. One is manual skill. and the other is bed. side manners.

The characteristic of Manual skill is simple to acquire and under. stand. By it you learn to move qlllel-ly and Blehlly; how to make beds and apply bandages, and rlo Jill-HY things which call for nice muscular co-ordixaation,

The attribute of correct bedside manners is very important for both doctors and nurses. It implies an Olllrdfislfln of sympathy and under- standing and you would do well in acquire it.

Now you are graduates of this hospital and very shortly you will be registered nurses for the pro- vince of Prince Edward Island. Years ago recent graduates were fearful that they might not obtain

When Florence Nightingale re- turned from the Crimea broken in health and cherishing some bitter- flees against the War Qffice of that day she found a ch ue for 550.000 sterling-n quarter m llion dollars- waiting for her. She refused it for herself but consented to accept it. with the distinct understanding that it be used for the betterment of nursing in England. Up to that time Miss Nightingale was only concerned with "Milita nursing and Sanitary Engineer rig." but now in St. Thomas Hospital und Kins‘: college. Iendon. she laid the inundation for every phase of mod- ern nursing education as We know it at its best today. It was her in- tention that young ladies of goo-i character and education would be trained exclusively for the nursin of the sick. But nursing like many ' other professions as greatly en- larsed ta scope since the clays cf Florence Nightingale, Changing with a changing world, it now af- fords career opportunities in many different and absorbing fields. Any iri with the ability to work

with al kinds lo! human beings, with good health and a sense of humor, if she is resourceful and has an interest in people, can carve out s future for herself by way of the nursing profession. Nurses find em- ployment in large stores, in hotels on air liners, on ocean liners. in large medical and surgical clinics, and in public health departments. Perhaps one of the fields of great- | est promise is that of the industrial nurse, She has to meet and cope with grave emergencies because in large factories life is never static. It is said that the qualifications for a good industrial nurse are a happy disposition, p, sense of humor. re- sourcefuiness. and imagination. Having trained in a hospital which for its size has no superior

persistence. Calvin Coolidge once said that nothing takes if 1c place of persistence. We know that talent will not, There is nothing so com- mon as unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not, unccogniz- ed genius is almost a proverb. ‘Edu- cation will not. the world is full of educated direlects. The siosan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. Persistence keeps doc- tors and nurses nt the bedside of a patient fighting to save a life ivhich they know nothing short of a mir- acle can save. Tliey know how i0 figlzt, "they carry on".

Leadership is a characteristic by which the nurse is able to lnflllfie her patient to believe in the doctor and take his ordczs seriously. 1t enables the nurse to get the patient to eat when not hungry. in short she “knows how to handle people". There are other attributes such as sympathy, gentleness. and kind- nes. but 1 think if you cultivate trese which I have mentioned you will eventually reach the coveted haven oi Skilled Nurses.

advance in nursing and medical science, people sometimes wonder; how older doctors and nurses are . able to make a living. It is because i they have experience and leader-i ship. There are in this city and

province, and in every city and‘ province in Canada. graduates who have made nursing their life's work. They believe that ire duty of a nurse is to relieve suffering and save human llfo, and they are al- ways ready when called. They fore- go many of the pleasures of life. They are sought after in difficult cases. The tired medical man. the overworked and worried aurseon know where to turn when the life of some patient is hanging in the balance. We call these skilled nurses. Therefore i: wish to say to you that between your position to- day. standing on the lrresholcl of your career. and that of the nurses that I have mentioned. there may be rou h going. You may have Will‘ steep ills and your disappoint- ments. but you will have your suc- cesses too. so I wish for your bene- fit to mention some of the attri- buies which you will reculre i0 cultivate and develop, in order that you ma, meet difficulties which are bound arise and that you may overcome them. ‘l!

To our superintendent who has worked so earnestly for our good we owe a deep debt of gratitude. By example and precept she has taught us to be good nurses. falling

We thank the board of Trustees and those who have contributed to the upkeep of the hospital 1L1‘ tile well equipped and up t) date hospital in which we work: for the very comfortable urd spaixous Cun- dall Home in which we were priv- ileged to live. The splendid way in which the home is managed is due to the work of Mrs. gracious housemother.

To you undergraduates, may we. say a word in parting: Wzrk in! harmony with your superiors. show. courtesy to all. refrain from crit- icism of those in authority and always remember you are an ex- iample for those who follow.

"If vo' is a success folks shake yo’ hand, if yo’ is not dey shake you." So wrota a coloured pililos- orpher in a southern newspaper but do not go with the crowd in ack- nowledging only the successful for while they deserve our recognition, personal interest and‘ friendliness to the unsuccessful or those who are on the road to success may do an incaicuiabie amount of g and keep them climlbirlg toward the goal.

Councillor J. T. McKee suggest- ed that the City Recorder see that the city bracket be set at 4500 or 5000, He thought a 2500 bracket1 would be too 10w as there were. near that many phones in the city l now alld "high pressure salesmen" would soon put the number up.

The matter was first brought up by councilior T. A. Butler who thought that something should Ill done to assure that the interests of the citizens be protected.
