VALEDICTORY Your Honor, Your Worship, Mr- Chabman, Members of the Medical and Nursing staffs, Classmates, Ladies and Gentlemen.- Almost three years ago, we, the class 0f 1934, came from homes in different parts of our Piovlnce-—all with one purpose-to train as nur- es in the Prince Edward Island tel. ‘Through trials as probationers, through hard work as juniors, through eager expectations as in- tonneddates, through the stress of examinations as seniors, we have gradually made our nay to this realization of the ambitions that brought us here. During our training we have been through much sunshine, and much shadow, and have learned from both. Our hearts are sadden- ed because ozie who began training with the hopefulnoss and ambition incident to youth, has passed to the Greet Beyond. As we take our plac- es here tonight our hearts are mov- ed with memory of her, and our heartfelt sympathy goes to her darkened home. We have worked long hours, and have been some- times disheartened and discourag- ed, but through it all linger mem- ories brightened by the gratitude of patients, the good times at our impromptu entertainments. and the cheerful sympathy and kindly ad- vice of our Superintendent and Supervisors. We feel that we cannot leave the Inotituti without a word to thoeo who have made our time pleasant and profitable. The time has come when we must bid adieu to our Alma. Mater. We shall ever cherish fond memories of the Old Prince Edward Island Hospital, whore we common " our training, and of the splendid new Institution from which wo have the honor to be the first g. ‘uatos. ‘Io you, Members of the Medical Staff, we shall say but little, for we realize only too well how meagre are mere words to convey our sen- tlmeims, yet we would fairi express our heartfelt gratitude to you, to whom we owo so much of whatever intellectual equipment we now pos- sess. In looking back we see very clarly our mistakes, we also dis- miotiy approclato your 5 idance and never failing readiness to help. Tb our Superintendent and Sup- ervisors. whoeo untirlrig efforts have done so niucb for us, we say farewell.

We are trained to help others to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. Do we seek honor? We will never get it by serving ourselves. Do we covet distinction? We will get it only in tho service of mankind. Let me ‘quote Channlngis words in clos- HB.— "To live content with small means To seekelegance rather than lux- ury, and refinement rather than fashion. be worthy arid respected, not wealthy, not rich. study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act ‘frankly. listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages with open heart bear all cheerfully, to do all bravely, await occasions hurry never, In a word, to let the spilitual, un- bidden and unconscious grow up through the common." May this be our symphony. To 'I‘o Tb To DR. MAOKENZIES ADDRESS Your Honor, Your Worship, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, Nurses of the graduating class. I take great pleasure in extending to you our sincere congratulations in this your hour of triumph. During the three years since your train- ing began, you have worked hard and faithfully. Your purpose in un- dertaking this work was primarily, of course, to qualify yourselves to earn a. livelihood. I venture to hope however, that a vision of the larg- er life of service influenced you in no small degree in your choice of nursing as o, profession. You have, in your first few months, slaved. and sometimes wondered whether the slavery was worth while. As knowledge, exper- ience, and responsibility came your way, your horizons have extended. and life has taken on a newer and a fuller meaning. You have seen a cross section of life with its struggle," victories and defeats. and "I trust have emerged better wom- en, in that the eyes of your souls have been opened, the range of your sympathies has been widened. and your characters have been mould- ed by the events in which you have been partlelpators during your training years. The period of your training has been one of unusual transition. You started with all the handicaps and. unpleasant features of the old hos- pital, and have carried through to the many advantages of equipment and training facilities offered by the new. f doubt if any hospital in Canada can give evidence of great- er progress than we have witnessed in the P. E. I. Hospital during the past ten or fifteen years. Consider for a mcment,-a new X-ray equip- ment with a trained radiologist, an up-to-date anaesthetic department. a dietetic department supervised by an expert dietitian, a well-equip- ped biochemical and pathological laboratory with a technician of wide experience in charge, and now a new hospital with accommo- dation and equipment, considered by ourselves, and supported by the opinion of independent hospital ex- perts, to be among the best on this continent. Truly. a formidable record of achievement-credit for which is primarily due to the gen- erous support of the people of Prince Edward Island. That their confidence has not been misplaced the excellent work of trustee board, nursing and medical staffs has amply proved. If I may be allowed to digress for a moment, I wish to draw your attention to the outstanding work performed by our Board of Trus- tees. Many brickbats come their way. but very few bouquets. We of the medical staff have found them efficient, progressive, and at times even apgressve, but always willing, and even eager, to bring into ef- fect measures which would improve our hospital's ability to give the best of treatment and care to the patient. Their progressive attitude and jntelllgent co-operation with medical and nursing staffs has been the foundation of our success. To return. our training school, in particular, has in the past labor- ed under great difficulties, and the type of nurse graduated during these years is an enduring tribute to their natural ability and the ar- duous work of a staff laboring un- der grossly inadequate training conditions. A new day has dawned. We have entered the new hospital with a re-organisod nursing service. Operating, obstetric, and teaching departments have all been remod- elled along modern lines, with spec- ially tralned graduate nurses in charge. You who have served un- der both regimes will enthusiastic- ally testif; to the value of these changes. ‘ihe quality of~ nurse's training has improved a great deal in a short time, and, judging from the ability and enthusiasm of our graduate staff, we can confidently look forward to still greater pro- gross in the future. One much needed innovation is, in my opinion, a standard nurse's curriculum and examinations for the Maritime Pro- vinces, with poulbly a travelling ss , tor of Nursing Schools. as . suggested in Mr. Weir's recent sur- v of Canadian nursing condition: ver, this is only of passln interest to you at the present tim Your undergraduate days are Ol cr, and you are now standin flushed with success. at the thrc hold of a larger life. You are : the one moment looking backwa: regretting the passing of the strer uous. but. relatively carefree. undei graduate days, and at the nex looking forward eagerly with the‘ optimism of youth, to your life's work with its every widening field of usefulness and responsibility. No branch of the healing art has advanced more rapidly than that of nursing. At the present time three main fields of endeavor are open to you:—institutional, private duty, and. lest but not least, public health nursing. No matter which of these fields you eventually culti- vate, I wish to impress upon you the growing importance of disease prevention in each one of them. ‘“I"he old order changeth." No long- er csn a doctor or a nurse be con- tent with treating and attempting to euro each illness as it arises. The large amount of knowledge which we now possess renders it imperative that we carry the war into the enemy's camp, for the purpose of attacking and destroy- ing dlsease germs before they have had a chance to get in their deadly work on the human body. ‘It is perhaps needless to remind you of the amazing strides made in the prevention and control of disease during the last three- quarters of a century, greater pro- gress, indeed, than had been made in the preceding one hundred cent- uries. The discovery of the micro- blc origin of disease, leading to aseptic surgery, control of small pox, typhoid, cholera, diphtheria and an ever increasing number of other diseases, has given us real ammunition for tho battle. Thanks to the help of public health organizations, assisted by such bodies as our large insurance companies, a. constantly increasing amount of medical educational nia- terial is being dlssemiaatod among our people through the medium of newspapers, magazines, and radio. The public are being awakened to the tremendous possibilities for saving in time, money, and human life offered by this eminently practical and logical programme of disease prevention. Consequently they are demanding, and will be demanding more and the more the advice of those who are supposed to know, doctors and nurses. what are we? What are you going to do about it? Are you going to drag along in the rear guard. or are you going to seize your opportunity and lead the advance? The question is an urgent one, and upon our de- cision the whole future of doctors and nurses may very well depend. You nurses will have the opportun- ity and great honor of being in the forefront of this advance. In close and constant touch with individuals and families your power for good is infinite. . Even if you are not paid as a public health nurse. what does it matter? You may be nursing in s. hospital or private family. You have the knowledge. Give of it freely. That loving, but ignorant. mother ruining her infant with faulty feeding, that boy or girl anaemic and pale. probably with swollen glands or so called growing pains, that father or mother coughing and spitting about the house with young children breathing in the germs- thr] have urgent need of your ad- vice and help. Give it to them. If a doctor is needed, persuade them to call one. Do not. worry about intruding upon the doctor's confin- es. If you use your knowledge in- telligentiy, he will support you. If he does not welt-he should not be a doctor. In considering your future one naturally thinks of the qualifica- tions necessary for you to achieve success in nursing. I feel like apol- ogizing to you for the following words. You have been talked at, criticized, and lectured to suffic- iently in the past years. It seems like adding insult to injury to con- tinue the pursuit to this your grad- uating night. However, I am sus- tained by the fact that graduation in all probability occurs for you only once in a lifetime, and such is the power of precedent that 1‘. fain must follow. The diploma pre- sented to you this evening testi- fies to the fact that you have ac- quired the necessary amount of knowledge and practical experience to nurse sick people. inferring that you possess in sufficient degree those many other important quali- fications necessary to make a suc- cossful nurse. It is my opinion that no other line of human endeavor calls for such constant application of those high qualities of head and heart which mark the perfect wom- an. The flrsfessentlal is health. The fact of your presence here tonight is sufficient testimony to‘ your present health, for none but the strong could survive three such trying years. But what of the fut- ure? It is for you to apply your knowledge intelligently towards preserving this most precious as- set, without which all else is nought. The blind cannot lead the blind. No more can a debilitated, lethargic nurse expect to conscient- iously give of her best to her pat- lent. Secondly one must possess know- ledge, which naturally assumes n reasonable amount of ability to se- cure it. During the past three years you have absorbed a large amount of heterogeneous information. both theoretical and practical. Some of it will remain with you to be call- ed up at will in any emergency. More of it will fade. and your memory will require constant prompting to keep this informa- tion available. Hence, it is imper- ative for you to keep up your read- ing. Study your cases as they come to you, and refer to your text books to refresh your mind in symptoms and nursing procedures. Keep up with the advances and changes in your profession by subscribing to an active interest in your associ- ation affnlrs. As soon as possible, also, preferrahly after a prelimin- ary period of general nursing, plan poet graduate studies. In this way your nursing periodicals and taking marks, probably cleverly lured forth satlon, which does the damage, so to further qualify yourselves by "Think not silence the wldsom oi you will not only enhance your or of wise men who have not the opportunities for steady employ- infirmity but the virtue of tacit- ment in an already overcrowded urnity." l S-DFU -M» IDH H u ~ Rea 55c Jar "Joules!

That sympathetic smile or touch, the patient but firm man- ner, the taz you display in doing the right thing at the right time, so avoiding needless friction and irritability, will not only win for you the love of your patient but will go a long way towards hasten- ing cure. In tho words of Ouida “There is a chord in every heart that has a. sigh if touched arlght." Next discretion.

In these days of rapid communication as illustrated by radio, wireless lelcgraphy, telephone, bridge parties, and tea tables. WllPfi an intelligence system has been de- veloped which would be the en- vy of war days, when anyone is liable to wake up cheerfully in the morning to find his most. personal affairs and misfortunes exposed, naked and distorted, to the pitlless gaze of a. so-called civilized com- munlty,-ln these days there is no- thing which will so quickly bring a sparkle to the eye and saliva to the mouth as a nice. juicy pie-cc of hospital gossip. The iiifirmitics of others have a gruesome attraction for many people. In the relatively carefree days of convaloscence thc unwary nurse may be lrd into tell- ing of interesting incidents occurring in operating theatre, wards, or ad- joining rOOms. I do not believe that filly nurse, least of all you before me. would so debase her profession as to betray the secret and person- al affairs of the family or individ- ual to whose inner shrines she has been admitted. It is not the inten- tional but the unintentional rc- ln the course of a general conver- I adjure y u. guard your tongues.

Let not sordid sophistication or boredom corrode the heart once beating with generous impulses towards suffering humanity. Too often it is but a flash of youth which dark- ens down uith the growing years Too often the ceaseless panorama of suffering tends to dull the fine edge of sympathy. While common sense and sound practice are nec- essary, and material things must be looked to, yet, I reiterate, that the practice of nursing is an art not a trade, a calling not n. busi- ness, and unless it is warmed by the fire of the spirit it becomes a cold lifeless thing. The counsels of perfection may be unattainable to the average nurse but it is only by striving for perfection, even while falling far short of cur ideals, that we attain t-o the ultimate of which our natures are capable. Dc not forget you are walking in the fmtsieps of a band of noble wom- en. Let their example uphold you in tlic busy. useful. and I hope happy life to which you have pledg- ed yourselves. In closing allow ma to commend to yCil Carlylcs lines- "It ls not to taste sweet things. but to do noble and true things and vindicate himself under God's heaven as a God made man that the poorest son of Adam dimly longs.
