Time was, the speaker remarked, when a hos- pital in a town was considered a luxury, an exitravag'ant way of :spending public money, and not wor- thy of the notice of the citizens at large. That idea has (:hang`e(l to the realvizamiorn that a town s eiliciency is largely guaged by its hospital. Many nurses have passed throu~g=h the RV.

Yesterday they were training`, to-day they are <.;ra(luat'in-,1`, and to-morro\v they are practicing)`. We hope that they and all their esrvice will be in-spwired by the sacred principles of their pro- fession.

In the last century conditions have changed so rapid-ly that we are not able to keep pace with them, and new conditions have been 1'acing' us. Less than a century ago a person exe-cutted in the Province of Quebec was placed-in a cage for exhibition. In 1810 out of 137 cases tried 36 were sentenced to death, and only two of those were for murder. In 1865 the number of crimes punish- able by (lath were reduced to three, murder, treason and rape. Public sentiment bean to turn against hang- ing and in 1869 public l1ang=ing' was abolished in Canada. Banishment was e.\:tevnsivel_v used for for certain crimes and any person who return- ed before he should, usually was sen- tenced to death. `The lash was the penalty for many minor crimes, and the xvliippilig was done in public, 30 lashes being the rule. This is sup- posed to have originated from the time of St. Paul, when `he said, Forty lElE`l`lOS I received, save one. The use of the stocks was feared by many.
