Chiefs' Writings The quotation from Richard Jeffries' Pageant of Summer - The ex- ceeding beauty of the Earth in her splendor of life yields a new thought with every petal. The hours when the mind is absorbed by beauty are the only hours when we really live, so that the longer we can stay among these things so much the more is snatched from the inevitable. fSignedj EDWARD MARTIN. The profession of trained nurses has covered itself with glory in offering the services of its members in such a large proportion to our country. The University graduates have taken a high rank among this noble group, and when the history of the nursing work of the war is written, it will be found that no better record will have been achieved by any other Training School than by that from which your class is about to graduate. fSignedj TALFRED STENGEL. The art of nursing is not new. To soothe and to solace, to help and to heal has been woman's privilege from time immemorial. Nursing as a profession is modern, and is a logical outgrowth of the newer medicine and the newer surgery. Neither the surgeon's skill nor the in- ternist's acumen can successfully Hght the battle for life' without the aid of a trustworthy lieutenant in the person of a conscientious, vigilant, self-denying, intelligent nurse. In fvhff Present supreme hour of trial for most of the world, the trained nurse is meeting the test with honor to her calling and her sex. For She tr-uly Hgirdeth her loins with strength and strengthens her arms, and a host ot the sons of many nations rise and call her blessed.', fSignedj JOHN B. DEAVER. 20
