44 ' IN CAP AND UNIFORM THE YEARS Now only the beginning—slow, frightened, these women in blue can but dream of some day being “women in white.” They look with awe and idealistic reverence on that narrow black band signifying a victorious climax to three years’ hard work. And the years stretch ahead. The future is a hope, and the past is but a memory. Though in its broadest sense nursing may be said to be co¬ existent with the growth of the human race, beginning with the first mother’s care of her offspring, our earliest knowledge of nursing care comes down through the records of centuries from the time when religious orders furnished practically the only nursing for suffering humanity. On through the eighteenth century —a dark period in the annals of nursing—to the time when the British public, in recognition of Florence Nightingale’s achieve¬ ments in the Crimean war, raised a sum for the establishment of the Nightingale Training School—the first school designed for the training of women to enter hospitals and infirmaries, there to carry on the nursing of the sick and to extend the work of teaching. The years speed on. Now we are nurses-in-training. So many things already be¬ hind us—our first day on wards—the Christmas party—midnight feasts of roast duck—burning toast in the morning—the wonder at the mystery of birth, and life, and death. The thrill of gratitude for the chums we’ve made. Soon it will be our Christmas party, and then our Graduation. We’ll wish, in quiet moments, for the gay crowd back, the heated discussions, the fun, and even the tears, just that we might be once more back with them. Still it is only the beginning, and the years wait ahead—more friends, more knowl¬ edge, more of life. B. FORD.
