On April 8, at the Montreal General Hospital, Canada, Frances S. T. Miller, after a lingering illness in France and England.

On April 10, Mabel E. Solt, class of 1916, Lakeside Hospital, Chicago, of lobar pneumonia.
On March 25, at the Hartford Hospital, Hartford, Conn., Lauder Suther- land, after an illness of only three days, with pneumonia. Miss Sutherland was born in Coburg, Ontario; she was educated in Canada, and graduated from the Toronto General Hospital Training School for Nurses, after which she spent seven years at the Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland, Ohio, coming from there to Hartford, October 1, 1905, to take charge of the training school at the Hartford Hospital. Miss Sutherland's ability, and the influence of her most remarkable personality; her power as an organizer, and her keen vision and appreciation of the great possibilities within the scope of her profession, are exemplified in the work she was suddenly called to lay down. Under her management the school had grown from a pupil body of 35 students to one numbering 165, with a staff of 22 graduate supervisors and teachers. The necessary accommodations for housing in the most attractive home-like manner, had been built and equipped. Miss Sutherland’s personal interest in the individual pupil was remarkably emphasized in her work; and her high ideal sand ambitions for the best in life are portrayed in the large army of splendid women graduated under her influence. Miss Sutherland was prominent in all of the state and national nursing activities. She was a councilor of the National League of Nursing Education for some years; a member of the Connecticut Board of Examination and Registration of Nurses since 1906; the president of this board since 1914; also president of the State League of Nursing Education. Her loss is keenly felt by the nursing profession, and she leaves many warm personal friends in the social activities of Hartford. The last weeks of her life were spend in the development of her school to help meet the demand for nurses for war service. Realizing her inability, because of a serious cardiac condition, to go into the service herself, she gave them up with the same spirit of faith that characterized her useful career. Funeral services were held on March 26, in the Nurses’ Residence, and burial was at Coburg, Ontario.
Effie J. Taylor, retiring secretary of the National League of Nursing Education, writes of her:
"It is with deepest regret and sorrow that we announce to our members the death of Lauder Sutherland, who has been a member of the National League of Nursing Education for many years, who was always present at the annual meetings and took an active part in the proceedings. For the past year she has been a member of the Board of Directors and her passing will be felt as a loss to the proffesion. Through her activity, Miss Sutherland was instrumental in helping to keep up the nursing standards in the State of Connecticut and as an educational organization we owe her a debt of gratitude. We regret that she many no longer be with us, but we are grateful for her past work and influence.”
Miss Hills and Ms Somers, a committee of the Graduate Nurses Association of Connecticut, write:
"She has been a power in the nursing profession, commanding the respect and admiration of the nurses. Her co-workers have always felt the force of her personality in bringing nursing standards to her own high ideals. She had been an honored and valued member of the Graduate Nurses’ Association of Connecticut since coming to the state. We shall sadly miss her forceful personality and mourn the loss of an efficient nurse and a loyal friend.”

Mrs. Woodfin-Cecil was the first St. Louis nurse to die in service. She left with her associates a memory of a high conception of devotion to her country.
This ,book has been written for mothers. However, all those who are interested in the growth and development of children will find something of practical value here. Dr. Leo-Wolf has treated the subject in a common-sense way, making the book understandable to all. In a simple way he states the essential facts in the development of the child; the care and feeding both in health and illness, clothing, education, and symptoms and care in special diseases. Dr. F. Park Lewis contributes a chapter on "Defects of the Eye and Blindness in Children." The young mother will find much of interest and instruction in this book. It also is a useful book for the pupil nurse as supplementary reading.
THE MASTERYOF NERVOUSNESS, based upon the re-education of self.
By Robert S. Carroll, M.D., Medical Director, Highland Hospital, Asheville, N. C. The Macmillan
Company, New York. Price, $2.00.
Dr. Carroll gives in an interesting way practical recommendations toward the solution of, the problem of nervous adjustment. "Special foods, elaborate systems of exercise, spinal supports and rubber heels, specially tinted wails, and harmless water from far away springs, begoggled noses, and beds placed compasswise and insulated with glass casters, slamless doors, and dogless towns-all speak eloquently of modern man's nervous estate." The author first defines nervousness; then classifies the affilicted ones into types, points out the paths that lead to mental illness, and the penalities of errors in eating, of inactivity of mind and body, and of uncontrolled emotional in- tensity. "Serious investigation into the nature and character of man reveals the truth that he was created for productive activity." We are further told the importance of work and play; the necessity for will re-education; the power that comes through clear thinking and controlled emotions and true morality. The theme of the book is humanity's adjustment ,to things, people and self. "All real adjust- ments lead to harmony of the better self with the truths that change not, And life knows no success comparable to that truly serene self which holds the infinite power of repose and self mastery-the perfect 847
