Bruce Dunlop has been chosen to | again head the Stratford Young Men's Christian Association for the year. Mr. Dunlop was the choice of the an- nual meeting on Friday night. Other officers elected were: treasurer, A. E. O'Loughlin; record- ing secretary, Jas, Baxter; directors, H. L. Griffith, Jas. Preston, T. W. Orr, C. A. Moore, Dr. R. S. Murray, L, E. Doehrty, W. E. Weegar, W. D. Sinclair, N. L. Kilpatrick, J. H. Wyatt. In a few remarks, Mr. Dunlop acted as chairman, congratulated J. R. Mer- their Junior Matriculation. He ask- Cer, secretary of the "Y," and J. H. McQueen, physical director, on their | ed the nurses not to think too much of the money side of their profes- work during the past year. Sion but rather for the high ideals for which it stands. "Your profession is overcrowded at the present time. We have 100 training schools in Ontario and from 1,000 to 1,200 nurses are being graduated from these each year and yet there is room for about 600. Since 1922, 15,372 nurses have pass- ed their examinations in Ontario. There are now 5,000 nurses in pri- early in August. Mr. Mercer was au- | attend both conventigha | vate work; 1,000 in hospitals and 600 in public health work. That makes it so that now there are two nurses to every doctor I would advise all of you to register in the hospital from which you gra- duate, if you wish employment. So long as there are 100 training schools, the hospitals will be filled. The universities throughout the country are cutting down on the mumber they are alowing in each year for medicine, and so the same thing will have to be done in con- nection with training schools for nurses," said Dr. Woolner. New Training Method The speaker was of the opinion that nurses should be trained the Same as school teachers, at Normal Schools. Doctors could not afford the time for the lectures which they are called upon to deliver to the nurses and so there should be teach- ers for this purpose. He told the nurses not to be satisfied with a lower rung in the ladder, but de- clared that there was room at the top, no matter how many nurses graduated each year. Dr. Woolner advised them to strive for higher standings and to take post graduate courses. Many more nurses would be needed in health centre work in the near future, he felt. The average American family each year paid $& for a nurse; $25 for a doc- tor; $25. for drugs; $15 for hospi- tals and yet they spent $150 on a ear; $67 on tobacco; $37 on gasoline and there were many other items which might be added. People had no right to talk about what nurses eharged for their duties, he declar-| "Doctors of Canada get $40,000,- 000 a year for their services and| the doctors. of Ontario give $8,000,-| 000 in services to people who can-} not afford to pay their bills," said} Dr. Woolmer. He did not feel that the situation | was fair to the doctors when in the} Dominion of Canada each year $140,-| 000,006 is spent in beverages, 90 of| which are alcoholic; $78,000,000 on tobacco; $32,000,000 on asoline; $45,000,000 for radios and $7,000,000 on cosmetics. People of Canada spent from $200,000,000 to $300,000,000 each year on amusements, declared the speaker. In his closing remarks, Dr. Woolner stressed to the nurses the necessity of going out into their work with a clean spirit. He urged them to work hard, live right and give to their work everything within their power, to help the suffering.| J | ' elected in Ontario.! i | | C. W. Moore and T. W.
