CFIAlSLOTTlETQWN Mr. James McOuuneli Guest Speaker At Zion Ment’: Meeting The Men's Brotherhood of Zion Church Social Hail last evening (or their regular monthly supper meeting. The attendance was large and after supper a short musical Programme was enjoyed. the highlight of which was violin sc- lections by Master Basil Phillips. After routine business was dis- posed of. the speaker of the even- ing. Mr. James McConnell. Gen- eral Secretary of the* Charlotte- town Y.M.C.A., was introduced by the president, Bruce Mcbareix. Mr. McConnell spoke on Youth Counsel. The speaker em- phasized the fact that “we are all counsellors whether we realize 1'. or not." The all-important point ls to b_e an informed counsellor. I‘o be such, one must gain the con- fidence of the vcouncilee to tho.‘- oughly understand his or he: problem in order to give useful counsel. The speaker dwelt at some length on the various mat- ters wherein a coueellor can he n‘ vital service to young men and women in their various social and business problems. i. e., selecting the trade or profession for which he or she is best suited and in which they may expect to have a rerconable measure of success. The speaker emphasized the fact that to be a successful counsellor one must have something of the Spirit of Christ. who was the world's greatest counsellor. Al- together his address was informa- tive to a very great degree. The supper was provided by the Women's Auxiliary in their usual bountiful way. EIRST GRAOllATljlN (Continued from Page l) on. . REVIEWS HISTORY After extending his conzraiulo- lions to the class man-hers on their successful completion of two Yell" of work, Dr. P.A. Crcelman went on to cite briefly the history of the Institution. ' At the 1920 Meeting of the Pro- Viiiclal. Legislature, the Provincial Sanatcrium Act was passed, and in April of the same year. the first board of Commissioners was sp- pointed bv the Government. There were seven members in all. The Iafg Simon P. Paoli served as chairman until his death in De- cember 1940. Other munbers ep- pointed were the late Mr. Jllsiive l-laszard. His Honour the late Judge Fraser, Honourable George D. De- Blots. Doctor J.A. MocPhec. Mrs- Willlnm Mutch and Colonel Full. qur present chairman. The lute Mr. WE. Champion was member from 1938 until his death ln 1945. Other: members now serving are Mr. LB. l-lacMillun, Ml‘. ET. Iliggs. ‘Mr. Reginald Aitken. and his Honour Judge St. Clair Train- or. The original building was fin- ished and furnished in May 1981 and the first patients were receiv- ed (m the 19th of the same month. From that time until the 911d 0t December. 1M7. scme 1.4% poi-- icnts have been admitted. and i0 these 425.418 days o! trsstmsnl have been given. The first enlargement. to the In- stitutlon was the buiIdinK of the Nurses’ Home in i936. The follow- mg year the ell of the main build- ing was extended to provide bel- ter kitchen accommodation. and to provide space for fourteen more patients. The last addition was the new wins which was occupied in December, 1945. With the opening of this new building, the school of attendant nurses had its incep- tion. In prewar days, an effort was made to eta-operate with ‘the gen- ei-si hospitals in this brovinco by having the students affiliate at the Banatorium for g, specified time in which both lectures and practical instruction in the care of the tub- erculosls patient wal given. Un- fortustely this project was discon- tlnued. "1 regret". Dr. Creelmon said. "that the present class of girls be- fore us is as small as it is. We do not necessarily require more to staff our institution but we should have more going out into our com- munity to teach. in a practical way. how tuberculosis can be pre- vented and cured. “Since i931 the tuberculosis death rate has been halved in P.E.I., but it is still too high. In 194s, 53.5 persons per 100,000 of the population died from this dis- ease. This figure is 10 points high- er than for the whole o1 Canada. To conquer this foe. there can be no relaxation of effort until it is as rare e- dlsease as smallpox, and then there will still be work to maintain the standard." Following is the text f Col. Fleming's address: “An address to. any graduating class is. I presume. intended or designed to round out or put the finishing touches to what hal un- doubtedly been l. period of hard work and concentrated effort. such, | ‘ _ lre sometimes used. I have observed. to present to s. listening audience the speak- er's views which may not be of very great interest to those to whom the address is ostensibly presented. On this. the occasion of the firlt graduation exercises cf e class from the Provincial Senator-tum. I have no wish other than to speak directly to you young ledics whole untiring de- votion sud faithful effort during thrl pelt two years have mode this occcsion polllble. ‘ "You will. however. blsr with mo, and agree with me, if I first take ccelcion to pcy e tribute to those whole courage lnd selimnd imtiring effort have brought the Presbyterian Church met in the‘ America three national organisat- Edward Island Provincial Sanator- ium to the splendid state of effic- iency which it today enjoys. To the Commission whose skill and wisdom have guided the financial and administrative destinies of the Institution, and in Dr. Creel- man and his efficient staff whose knowledge. wisdom, and energies have resulted in the splendidly run Institution of which we are all so proud, it is hard to find words with which to express the appreciation and gratitude which is owing them from all ranks and classes of the people of this Pro- vince. , "When the Department ofl-iealth and Welfare was organized it was given the task of administering certain statutes and certain Insti- tutions formerly administered by various other departments of gov- ernment. The Provincial Senator- ium was then. as now, administ- ered. not by s Department of Government. but by a Commis- slon of citizens who have given gratis much of their time and ef- fort to this end. The Department of Health and- Welfare, in its in- lfial orders was therefore charged only with supervision of the Pro- vincial Sanatorium. The efficiency with which the Institution was and has continued to be adminis- tered has made the carrying out cl’ such an order a very light task indeed. so far as members of the staff of the Department are cen- cerned. The splendtd rec-operation which has existed for the past two years and a half between all mrm- bers of the staff of the institution and the officials of the Depart- ment has. I believe. been indicat- ed by the very kind invitation which has. been extended to me as the Deputy Minister of the Department cf Health and Wel- fare to speak to you tonight. I would ‘be nothing if not remiss if I did not draw-attention to this and to thank Col. Full, Dr. Creel- man and Miss Msctcnnsn for be- stowing this honour upon me. In accepting I am indeed mindful of mv inadequacy. I mus-t state. hm-vever, that the study which it has of necessity required of me has taught me many interesting facts which I hope may sometime be useful in assisting in promot- ing the betterment of your pro- fession within this Province. as well as in carrying cut the func- tions of the Department. Evolution of Nursing ' "You are graduating tonight ss_ Attendant Nurses after a period of training which we may accept as being well designed and oilfie- ierli-ly carried out. The important thin; as I see it is that today you are graduating as nurses. The evolution of nursing is d/ue to three influences: religion, war and science. Religion first induced ladies in the earlier days ofChris- tianlty to take up care of the sick as a charitable duty. The war in the Crimea is believed to have given the impetus which resulted in the modem conception of nur- sing and science has developed systematic nursing to its present broad dimensions. "The nurse is looked upon as following is great vocation for which she has to be qualified by _vears of training. In my younger days in the remote part of this Province where I was brought up there were reccgniz two kinds of nurses. trained nurses and ctli- cr nurses. The former were few cincl far between. and then as now, scarcely ivithin the economic grasp of the ordinary citizen. The latter were little more than untrained midwives, though the prud-ery of that age forbid the general use cl that word. I think it is now gen- erally recognized that nurses with- out training may be considered more .of a liability than an asset in any community. ' “You are now trained nurses. _“1t would appear that for many years the training of nurses was confined to those who ultimately attained recognition by having their names plsced on a register centrally maintained under due dufhority. In the United States of ions. The American Nurses Asso- ciation. The National Organizat- ion for Public Health Nursing. and The National League of Nur- sing Education did much excel- lent wnrk in improving and de- fining the status c-f such qualified nersonnel and remarkable orc- gress was made through steadfast insistence on maintenance of the highest standards. This effort has failed, however. to produce suffic- ‘mt nurses in Canada and the United States to meet the de- spend. "Eighteen months no n. fact- finding survey of surgical opinion was made in Canada and the Un- ited States to find the reasons causing this shortage of nurses. Comments made on the report of this survey by Dr. Howard C. Naffziger, a Fellow of the Amen-- cnn College of Surgeons. and Pro- fessor of Neurological Surgery in the University of California. Med- ical School are extremely interest- ing. and I believe very much to the point. "I quote Dr. Naffziger: ‘The need was so great that the care of patients was jeopardized. ‘Th! inadequate number of nurses was brought about by numerous fact- orl connected with the war.

Dr. Neffiger goes on to say-that some twenty percent of hospitals were already training aides and sixty percent favored the estab- lishment of training. "OX1 December 20th. 1946. the Board of Regents of the American College of Surgeons adopted the following resolution: ‘The Ameri- can College of Surgeons advises Hospitals to admit and utilize the assistance of auxiliary nursing aid. In additldn approved hospitals should provide training for such vocational nurses by means of short courses.‘ Dr. Naffzlger states that physicians who answered l letter clicularized by the Ameri- can College of Surgeons endorsed the recommendation of the Col- lege with great uniformity and favored immediate utilization of auxiliary nursing aides. Sanatorum Training "It should therefore be gratify- ing to us to find that the Provin- cial Sanatorium of Prince Edward Island has recognized such need and by its course of training which you have just completed. has started to equip a body of young people qualified not only to carry" out in hospitals and institutions a much needed service. but quali- fied ls well to bring to the com- munities of this Province such a service, at present to a great ex- tent largely and sadly lacking. The complete report on the activi- itles of the American College of Surgeons to promote improvement in the nursing service (contained in the January issue of the Bul- letin of the College) should make extremely interesting reading to all who are interested in this great work. Time, however, does not permit me to quote further from this most interesting article. "I feel that we have now reach- ed the point where we misllt Con- sider your connection with Wel- fare and that branch of the De- partment which I serve. In my office dictionary welfare is defined as ‘satisfactory state, health and prosperity. well being.‘ Wellilrl? work as ‘efforts to make life worth living‘. It is fairly c-bvlous then that we are all striving for the same end. or at least to direct our small individual efforts to the same end.
