men i W5 To the Training School Alma Mater, unfurl thy banner so bright With the image of Christ's Sacred Heart, And hark in its emblem's inspiring sight To thy children's farewell, - 'ere they part. For us the first in the hospital's row V And dearest to us, without doubt, Is your teaching and training: - and all of us know Your ideals sublime and so proud. ' Your earnest instructions bring home to the mind The all sacred mission to nurse, And the motif that leaves selfish plans far behind 5, To enrich aching hearts not one's purse. Fitted out with the armor of Nightingale-Pledge, With its patient love as a guide, YVe start out with a heart full of grateful respect Upon duties that challenge our pride. Deep-felt thanks, Alma Mater, are wafted to thee, To the teachers, the staff and dear friends! God grant them success and heav'nly reward WVhen once the last summons He sends. Again pledging ourselves to thy banner so true We bid thee regretting Godspeed As the world urges on for the work of the day ln its furrows we'll sow thy good seed. ff 1 QQQDMIW - VV V W Y ,,,,, -.,,.,,,..

' 9' v li-'ff 1 J The Art and Science 0 ursing URSING as an Art and a Science differs none from every other pro- fession trade or business, in its necessity for taking stock account at more or less regular intervals. And such a periodic health examination reveals many a departure from essential fundamentals, which unless noted and checked cannot but fail to undermine the profession. Where there is no occasional balance sheet, there can be no knowledge of the present status of any undertaking, nor can properly be met the ever-changing demands made upon it by the rapidly increasing complexities of modern life. Those w 0 fail to see a steady evolution in contemporary living conditions and are un- aroused to the necessity of new adjustments for the nurse, or those who see no need of holding to the 'well tried moorings of the past for the same, - both such will find themselves much out of step with the best in the profession. ' In nursing, like in every other human endeavor, we have no way of judg- ing the future but by the past. And the history of the nursing art plus the development of its science, coupled with personal experience, must form the basis for the attainment of a proper viewpoint of any angle on the subpect. As an art, nursing is as old as mankind and undoubtedly reached a high ' t f ffcienc in many individuals from the dawn of history. Compassion pom o e 1 y and mercv are inherent impulses of the heart, common to all humanity, and ' onl in degree alike in individuals and in nations. These, combined varying y i with intelligence and learning, have ever enhanced the art even when there was ' l 1'tt1 f what we today call the science of nursing. Study of the dim past revea s 1 e o many evidences of these inherited virtues which underlie and without which , . . . - d -our present day art in nursing would be non-existent. The art is age old an permanent while the science has been steadily added to and is constantly in a state oi flux. Science in its strict derivation means, - to know. It also has been well h t of its constant develop- termed - classified knowledge. Yet by t e very na ure I t ' ce needs repeated revision since it never remains fixed or permanent men , scien F or what today seems so, may tomorrow be obsolete and thrown into the discard Q r A q e e1f:.+ ew- T20
