Florence Nightingale's birthday. will shartlv be commemar- ated - as Hospital Day" in many parts of the world. Nearly everyone knows something about Florence Nighitingale, remeni- bering lier best probably as "The Lady of the Larnp," who in 1854 workcd veritable miracles in the hos- ital wards of thc Crinica. rcplacing confusion. dirt, crowding and neglect with orderliness. cîcanliness and im- mediate attention. thereby reducing the death rate froni 40 per cent ta 2 per cent. For ber work in improvinR hos- pital and nursing conditions bath in thc Crimea and later in England, Florence Nightingale is known as the founder of modemn nursing. and is reca«nized also as thec first hospital adm-inistrator. as we know such ta- day. Tbose wbo have studied bospital conditions during the century pre- cedinff Florence Nigbtingale's work at thc Crinica, wilI realize that the tremendous changes she wrought in nursinr practice and hospitai admin- istration have earned ber a high place forev'cr in humanity's hall of f ame. A picture of hosoitals in the haîf century prior ta 1854 is grapbically depicted bv an eminent hospital authoritv when he states that bas- vital surgeans durinR those days be- lieved suppuration ta be desirable and encouraged it. with the result that, the wards were f illed with dis- charzing waunds. and martality froni surgical aperations was as high as nnety and even one hundred Der cent. He states f urther that nursing 'was on an' even lower plane than surgery, nurses beinx employed with- out anv attention ta their selection. The nurses were aften of criminal classes and abused and exploited the patients. These viciaus conditions cantinued until the middle of the nineteenth century when the work of Flarence Niglitingale camplételv re- volutionized the art of nursing. Ta-day every patient who enters a hospital and receives the zealous and skilled care of a trained haspital personnel. might well turn their thoughts in thankfulness ta Florence NiRhtingale wha usbered in this. the greatest of aIl haspital eras.

Hints For Homebodios Wrltten for The Statesman BY, .ESSIE ALLEN BROWN Peter McArthur Peter McArthur is one of our Canadian writers, wliose work is wearing weil. When lits sketches appeared in The Globe and in The Farmer's Advocatc, I saw them only occasionaily, sa was flot very familiar with them until later, when they were in book farm. His love of the land, his trees and lits stock makes pleasant reading - and good re-reading. One of aur san's friends was gomng to O.A.C. and dur- ing a vacation he had to write an essay on a Canadian writ- er and lie came to me for sug- gestions. Wlien I spoke of Pet- er McArtliur, lie had neyer heard of hlm. I lent him "A- round Home", Jesuie Allen witli its infra- Browns duction by M. 0. Hammond.I wàs deliglited when lie came back fuil of cnthusiasm, planning ta read lits ather books and lioping ta awn same of them. Every Ca- nadian library, supplyingbooks ta rural children, sliould have Peter McArtliur on its shelves. He wauld help tliem see the dig- nit and the pleasures of rural J.ie. Tlie Women's Institutes and tlie Home and Schaol Clubs ar~e always alert to furtliering worthy abjects. How about examining your libraries and if thcy Jack Peter McArtliur's books, supply- ing them? He lias been brouglit to mmnd because I have been reading Gave Hambldge's new boak, "Six Roams Make a World", and he tells us that Peter McArthur was1 bis gad-fatlicr.4 Tbree Books This week I1liave read three of the newer baoks. 'Tlie Handsome A louai invean ont f1« TrusiF"nd Unc.r.dIaiona.Ifr Guante.d STEàRLING TRUT CORPORATION STUINES TOW 1000140 Road' by Gwen Bristow is a tale of the times of Uic war betwccn Uic Northi and South. The theme undcrlying it is that thc slaves in thc good familles wcrc better off and better cared for than Uic poor whites. They travclled Uic hand- saine road. It is nat a hiappy book but it la flot burdened down with lonig drawn out descriptions of thc battles as sa many Civil War jbooks arc. 'The Sang of Ycars' by Bcss Streeter Aldrichi is a pioncer- ing story af Uic saine war years but Uic setting is Iowa. The Mar- tins were a happy farnily and the talc is pleasant rcading. It is a rellef ta find a pleasant book Uicsc days. There is a lessan ta be lcarncd fram the use thc pianeers made of the things at liand, in Uic way Uiey worked, and in their lielpful co-operatian. The third book was Storm Jameson's 'Here Cames a Candlc.' I found it a dis- appointing book. It is a stary wiUi a large number af characters, Uic inhabitants of a slum court. It jumps from one persan ta anather and Icaves you restîcus and dis- turbcd. Probably ft wauld nat have disappointcd me if sameone cisc liad written it. I have likcd lier stonies af Mary Harvey and lier ship-buil-ding, in 'The Lovcly Slip' and the ather two baaks, so mucli that it was disappointing ta have a book sa different. It is not fair ta expect authors ta write Uic sanie type o! stories always and wc blame Uiem if thcy do, but Uieir public serna ta dc±and it, ncvcrthelcss, I amrn rminded o! Uic preface in anc o! P. G. Wodc- liousc's books. He says Uiat critics say Uiat Uic anly difference in lis baaks is Uiat lic changes Uich names of lis characters. but in this book lie will nat even do that. Sa lie picks Uic characters froin several o! lis books and thus docs flot even have ta change their naines. Magazines For A Cottage Usuaily housecleaning bnings ta liglit a stack of ald magazines and anc liates ta Uirow theni away and yet sometimes it is difficult ta know just what ta do wiUi Uicm. If y ou have a summer cottage you wlil have no. difficulty. If you have a 'fricnd with a summer cottage alie will probably be dclighted ta have Uiem far summer rcading. For several years we liad a cot- tage near Godericli, bclonging ta Uic late Judgc Lewis. There were book-shclves across anc wall, bult up riglit ta Uiececiling and there wcre hundrcds o! magazines there. Year after year of Harpcr's, Uic carliest being 1867. History was unfolded in their pages, cur- rent events, whidh now make lis- tory. The adAërtisements wcrc an education in the developinent of aur methad of living. Thc earliest typcwriters, bicycles, cars, wash- ing machines and ahl the mechani- cal aids we take for grantcd now. The gradual changes in women's clathes, especiaily in the corsets and undcrwear. We have certain- ly gaincd frccdom for wamen. I d.ld nat mean ta write of these ald magazines, but just liappcncd ta think of thein. All I meant 'ta say was Uiat it is a goad idea ta. pass on your magazines ta a suin- mer cottage. A Vacation Nursery Twa nurses ini Boston have startcd a nursery, wlicre chlîdren can be taken care of while their parents are away. This wil f ili a very definite necd. I have often wondercd why some waman did not start anc and have many a turne wislicd for saine sucli place. Every woman nceds ta get away from lier children for at least a few days and rnany would be glad ta pay for good care. The rates the Boston women are cliarging are $1 far a day, $5 for tic wcck- end, $10 for a wcek, and $15 for twa weeks. Rates could casily be less in a smaller place. A respan- sible waman could at least earn extra money in this mctliod and wauld be gomng gaad inta the bar- gain.

Trinity Y. P. U. met Manday cvcning and opencd with Uic war- slip service conducted by Bert Jolinstan and assisted by Presi- dent HubcrtHooper. Plans wcrc made for lecture by Uic Toil Bro- thers in Uic faîl. Hubert Hooper, who substituted for Miss Dorothy Nichais who was unable ta be present because o! iliness, spoke on "How ta Spend Leisure Time." After a sing-sang led by Harry Taylor with Evelyn Pickard at Uic piano, the meeting clased with taps. - Thcrc's only anc way ta "Iget there" - go ta it. Be content with your lot. One cannot be first in cvcrytliing. Don't be a quitter. It la just as wchl ta remember that triumph lias Uic accent on Uic try. Men are often vlianarics. Wo- men arc always practical. -Wixi- stan Churchiil. There la but anc truth autaide science, Uic truth Uiat cames frain an earnest smiling survey o! man- kind. - Stevenson.
