Dr. XVhite perhaps was liked as well or better generally than any other interne we have ever had, and nobody wanted to see him leave. We know that he will make a wonderful success, and we wish him all the luck in the world. Dr. Fred Clark, whom every one liked and who had a very promising future, died of influenza while serving his interneship. Every one deeply and sincerely regretted his death, D11 Ehff and Dr. Suffron were well liked both by the lhtClUrt-i atul by the nurses. They have both started out for themsclves 1mm and from all reports are having great success. We have learned that D12 Ruusey and Dr, Conner are doing exceptionally well for young doctors.

THE SAME OLD THING The world grows better year by year, Because some nurse in her little sphere Puts on her apron and grins and sings, And goes. on doing the same old things, Taking temperatures, giving the pills, To remedy new kinds of numberless ills: Feeding the baby, answering bells And being polite with a heart that rebels : Longing for home, and all the while Wearing the same old professional smile; Blessing the newborn babds hrst breath, Closing the eyizs that are still in death ; Taking the blame for the doctorts mistakes; Oh, dear, what a- lot of patience it takes. Going off duty at seven otclock, Tired, discourzigetl and ready to drop, But called back on Hspecial at seven-Flt'teen, W ith woe in her heart that must not be seen, Morning and evening, noon and night. Just going on and hoping it's right. When we lay down our caps and cross the bar, 0 Lord, will you give us just one little star To Wear in our crowns with our uniforms new, In the City above where the Head Nurse is you? QM Page Forty
