Daily we hear of the passing away of those who have been in the thick of the pressure and still the word goes on. The past few years has taken a tremendous toll of those who have been engaged in the mad rush. With the summer and holiday season here we visit the various resorts and summer homes in order to find that the mad rush is still carried on there, Weekâ€"end trips, meals, entertainâ€" ment and all outdoor life demands is exacting its toll. People are rushing to the wilds for a rest that they do not get. They are hurrying away from business to engage in another mad‘~outdoor social whirl. It seems that the age has to be moving fast or there is no contentment. People want rest but few go to find that rest. As we sit back looking over the moonlit waters, or gaze across the hill or valleys we see a picture of perfect rest, It appeals, bécause it moves on day in and day out without the hand of man and his driving power. The great unrest and nervous tention is caused by man refusing to make a study of these great forces that move on year after year in peace. If man will stop and consider the works of the universe he will discover that there is a power behind it all that mainâ€" tains that perfect peace. Man will find the study leads The Honourable William Finlayson, K.C., introduced the speaker, who had been a senior fellow student at Osgoode Hall, but who was no longer a "mere hw::r". He spoke in flnttering terms of the Perkins Bull hospital and of Mr. Perkins Bull‘s great war service. g Musical numbers included a vocal solo by Dr. McLean of Toronto. _ Particular enthusiasm greeted Mr. Perkins Bull when he presented each of the sweet girl graduates with a copy of the first volume in the Perkins gull Historical Seriesâ€"From Medicine Man to Mediea) Man, which traces man‘s progress in health and sanitation from superstition to science and from pioneer hardships to modern comfort and seâ€" eurity.

He said that though the hospital‘s fl‘aduution &-kers had included two Lieutenant wernors and several ministers and deputy ministers of health, it was going on _t:od-)l to even greater triumphs. Even in the caves of the Troglodfae Village, someone had to look after sick children, and men were useless.

As the years roll on, as history is written, as world events are recorded, we see Canada‘s definite contribuâ€" tion to the Empire and the universe. These federated provinces have weathered the depression, produced the necessary wealth to meet the needs of the day and given to the world a manhood that has been recognized. of the past. One of the great questions to be settled is that of government. It has been shown especially during the years of depression that the cost of governâ€" ment has been extreme. ‘The present set up is one that would govern‘ this whole country from coast to coast. Some method of replacing the present set up for a more economical and more representative government could be considered advantageously. Fewer parliaments, county and municipal legislating bodies would cut down the costs of administration: Smailler bodies and more commissioners might produce better results and give more effective administration. Government of the Dominion and provinces should receive more attention from the people during the present year, This is the time to face the situation and present to the people a plair or policy that will cut the costs of administration across this Dominion. It can be done and the people will appreciate those who lay the foundation for the plan. him to those séered places of m ‘where the service of praise and thanksgiving is by those who find that longâ€"lookedâ€"for peace, contentment and rest within the walls of the church When men learn to attend their respective churches and worship the living Creator of the universe then and only then will there be éoriteptâ€" ment and rest. Do not neglect your little church when away on your holidays, Keep your relationships oper with your Creator and thus there will be no fear of sudden passing. Life is sweet and just what man makes it. Find the Creator and all will be well, A country is not built alone upon its wealth but it is the citizenship that stamps its name upon the pages of history. Canada has produced a citizenship that will stand four square the world over. It has shown the way in development and enterprise. It has given leaderâ€" ship in Empire affairs and taken its seat in the councils of the world. In a short span of years this Dominion of Canada has risen step by step, overcoming great geographical difficulties, transportation problems and race divisions, each of which demanded careful attention and personal leadership, Toâ€"day, Thursday, marks the completion of these great events but opens up another year filled with problems.

Anyone willing to work and learn can make good in it. The best advice to any girl entering upon a nurse‘s career dates back to Hamlet‘s time; when old Polonius closed a long dissertation of caution and advice to his son Laertes with: "This above all be true." Let me tell you how I selected nurses for the Perkins Bull Hospital, ‘Aft,er my daughter, Dorothy, my commandant (who is with me here today), passed on their physical, mental and genera) fitness, 1 took them on for a little heartâ€"toâ€"heart talk, And the first question I always asked was: "Can you dress without pins, and do you keep Your stockings up and your hair wellâ€"groomed?" That doesn‘t mean frills, A patient doesn‘t want rouge and face powder in his meals, and bloodâ€"red nails might prove unpleasantly suggestive, Nobody wants a sloppy nurse. If she cannot take care of ner own person, she is not going to take much pains over the persons of others. If she is neat and dainty in appearance, she will probably be clean and tidy in her work, Pins about your dress are a sign of carelessness, but in some respects mental pincushions are worse, The snappy nurse jerks a fellow about deprives him of little comforts, and squelches his harmless whims. The sob sister goes around with a long face, shushing the patient and his visitors, until he feels he will disâ€" appoint everyone if he actually manâ€" ages to recover, The nervous nurse is always on the jump, and in her anxiety to please and do her duty does just the reâ€" verse. Sick men, especially Angloâ€" Saxons, are not unlike sick animals in their desire to crawl off into a corner, suffer in silence, and if need be die in peace. A nurse must walk wui}{)' when she intrudes upon this worldâ€"old privacy of pain. The lady dragon, without imaginaâ€" tion, treats a patient as if he had committeed a crime by falling ill, and she and the doctor had, as punâ€" ishment, jailed him. If he passes out on her she is apt to blame his own mean disposition. The old days, when steelâ€"rimmed spectacles and wire hairpins in hard buns of mouseâ€"colored hair were symâ€" bols of efficiency, have gone,. Do your hair becomingly, select attractive well fitting uniforms, and keep your hands pretty as well as clean, so that you will be, literally as well as figurativeâ€" ly, "a sight for sore eyes". Not every girl is born with a smile on her face, but undentlndini and 5ood will can be cultivated. Anger enotes inadequacy, while a sense of humor gives soine. Your attitude and manner should say to the patient, "Of course you are going to get well. Nothing at all to worry about." A nurse should listen with consoling tolerance even to the fussy absurdiâ€" ties and injustices of anxious relaâ€" tives and friends. vince him. Gemiifineu hdi:gs not mean nl].tk- ness. Give whining :flm a little petting, but treat loudâ€"mouthed grumblers with a firm hand. Doctors‘ orders must be carried out, even with the most mischievous and disobedient children, suspicious and secretive woâ€" men, and unreasonable and resentful men. 1 â€"to thine own self your country, and your profession, All sorts of gruesome family skeletons will inevi €ome your way, Let them pass, t gossip.

If a man is taken care of by a neat, ‘i:xiet-voiced girl who doesn‘t get on his nerves; if she has firm, gentle, soothing hands, "a pleasant smile and a cheerâ€" ing word, is it any wonder he decides he cannot carry on without her?

Butitgke my advice, girls, and give xour patient a second chance,. After his brain has cleared and he‘s on his feet, let him, if he still wants to, press his suit anew, Consider also whether he expects you to spend your waking hours as a ministering angel, and whether you are willing to do this. If not, there are lots of other patients where he came from, A good nurse need never remain long withâ€" out employment, _ _ â€" c ptness and decision en kob ul h: Aage m c c o9 beug .yuun If when all "so+ 4e elf w all men S But make allowance for their doubtâ€" ?nannt.inad} and had no complaints rom any of our patients, nor did we have to compiain of a single one.

It would appear I think it is Parkman who tells how when Jeanne Mance went with the Ursulines to start an Hotel Dieu at the new fort which Maisonneuve was building in the Canadian wilderâ€" ness, for some time she could find mo patients. Usually it is the large community which draws the hospiâ€" tal; in this cage the hospital was built first; later the city of Montreal gathered round it. _ _ You may now and then find yourâ€" selves witgout a case, but bide your time and plenty will come to you as they did to Mile.

In a sense I can sympathize with this, Agriculture, spinning, weaving, carpetâ€"making, dmtmckngg. tailorâ€" ing, soap amf candle making, pottery, canning, medicine, education, and a score‘ of other divergent activities, were once carried on at home under housewifely uu;;rvhis;m,)l But thi;g: have chn.nged. one‘s r 2{med' ad to agriculturists of 17 "Man, to t.glow; Wife, to the cow.

Modern mass production devices have substituted the canâ€"opener for the carving knife and the movie ticket for needlework, so that home life today tends to become too much of an uninteresting routine. For the poor it is a case of feeding babies, setting tables, and washing dishes; for the rich, of ordering meals, aimless shopâ€" ping, and entertaining the bridge elub, No wonder women sometimes become bored and want to get out and have their finger on xfiz world‘s pulse, Yet decay of home«life is havyâ€" ing disastrous effects on civilization. It is up to the more intelligent memâ€" bers of your sex to find some way of restoring it. â€" Both as professional visitors in others homes, and later as mistresses in your own, you can do more than most others towards accomplishing this, No woman outside your profesâ€" sion, and I say this advisedly, can be so well fitted to take a woman‘s place in the world, You have the advantages of a thorough mental training, with practical ultility and characterâ€"building thrown in. A nurse is a community asset, People turn to her, not only in illness gmt in all kinds of trouble, because they know of her qualifications and trust her. Yet there is nothing about her work \to make her unwomanly, By the very nature of things a woman‘s sympathy has more to it than a man‘s. A man‘s is limited by his vocabuiary or his pocketbook, but a woman‘s goes right down to the very roots of her being. It is to that sympathy that the nursing profession makes its appeal, and &at is why good nurses cannot fail to make good wives and mothers. Do not think I am minimizing your profession when I say that marriage should be your final goal. A woman reaches her best as the head and centre of ‘her own home. Indeed, I have no less an authority than Sir William Osler for the statement that "Marriage is the natural end of the trained nurse." And so when the right man comes along, as he surely will, doff your white cap and apron and don the bridal veil, Be assured that you are following your true destiny, and not giving up the greater for the lesser, remembering that Tom Moore hit the nail on the heau when he said: "There‘s nothing half so sweet in life As love‘s young dream," A vote of thanks was proposed by Oneâ€" Way s?l ((From the New York Sun) Mail from Bermuda can now be deâ€" livered to the United States in five and oneâ€"half hours, but all mail from the United States to Bermuda will continue to take two days because the aeroâ€" planes are under British charter.
