class term began, and the students were taken through before patients were admitted. This is the newest and most up-to-date hospital of this type in the United States. We had classes for quite a while before going on duty. We only worked two hours a day during the week and half day on Sun¬ days until Christmas. Since then we have been on regular duty. Saturday we get our caps. This is the great¬ est event in a student nurse’s life. Many of us are still in suspense, for there is yet another examination to be taken. Sincerely, Allie Norvelle. RELIGION Religion is within itself character. It cov¬ ers so many phases of life that it is hard to conform it to a short talk. Without religion the minds of men and women become narrow and warped. No matter how great our will power and courage, or no matter how polished our manners, we are not good characters with¬ out religion. For patience, kindness, gentle¬ ness and many other lovable traits that con¬ stitute character are fostered by religion. Our religion gives us a high standard of liv¬ ing. Our codes of morality are products of religion. Scientists show that we are greatly influenced and guided by our ideals. We all have our ideals and naturally these ideals pos¬ sess the traits of a good character. But are not these traits formed as a result of religion? The greater our faith, the higher our ideals. So we may safely say that should we forsake our faith, the human race would sink into pits of sin and evil. Today, we possess a broad-minded view of religion. We are ready to tolerate and re¬ spect the views of others. We no longer re¬ sort to the stern, strict views of our Puritan ancestors. In fact, we are so far from these views that most of us are termed non Chris¬ tians.” Such has been certain periods all through the ages. There have been periods of zealous religion, followed by a period in which the people did not turn to God. These latter periods were reactions against the views of the foregoing period. But through each type, God remained. But indeed, He is one of the few things that does remain. Through peace and prosperity, through suffering and de¬ pression, He is still there. And lastly, religion is not acquired through education. Many traits of character are drilled into us through education. But nothing is more touching or more enlightening than the simple faith of poor but honest, God-fearing men. Frances Davidson. PATRIOTISM Patriotism is the love of home. There is one little corner of the earth that you love above all others and that is your home. For your home is your own corner of the world. So when we call our country our Homeland, it is something more than a name. It is no small thing that our country does for us in guarding our right to a civilized life. It is we, who make the nation strong or weak, and we owe it to our country to keep it strong. Patriotism is the desire to make your coun¬ try the best place in the world. Though, we must love the world, we must love our coun¬ try best. Mr. Kipling has said, Who dies, if Eng¬ land lives,” and Nathan Hale, when he was being hanged as a spy, said, My only regret is I have but one life to give for my country.” One of the greatest patriots of the world, who was also among the greatest patriots of France, was Pasteur, and when he was dying, he said these noble words, I am sorry to die, because I wanted to do much for my coun¬ try.” It has the sanction of heaven itself, this love of country and as for us, if we forget our native land, let Liberty forsake us. HONESTY We owe it to ourselves, to our neighbors, and to the world, to be honest. Honesty is the best policy. It will bring us hardships at times, but it will give us peace in the end. There are rogues and thieves who make for¬ tunes; there are dishonest men who build up great wealth and seem to enjoy great happi¬ ness, but they live in no security. They may fall at anytime. We live and prosper by seeking and speak¬ ing the truth, and there is no other way to
