Her Education Florence Nightingale was born ot English parents in Italy on May 12, Ilr20. Her father was a highly edu- tated man who, contrary to the usual mutant ot the time, took a deep in- terest in the education of " dautrts ter. The result or his training could be seen throughout her lite. Not only did he equip her with a body of knowledge vastly greater than was usual among her contemporaries, but she learned from him that every problem must tre thought through to its solution]. No halt measures were permitted. A Born Nurse I Even as " child she showed an extraordinary interest in the sick. Her dolls' houses were intirmaries and her pets were animals whom she had nursed through haw; As she grew older, she inc-ram c amateur} nurse for all meaning people in the district surrounding her tather% estate. By caring for them she came to realize her need of professional training. Enthusiasm and devotion‘ were not enough; expert knowledge was essential. l Search for Knowledge There were no training Schools for nurses in England at that time. But she learned that women were being educated as nurses at Kaiserwerth in Germany. and in spite of the opposi- tion of her family. she insisted upon taking the course. She then spent some time in Paris, where, also, some hospitals were teaching women the essentials of nursing practice. When she returned home she was almost the only trained nurse in England and certainly the only gentlewoman who had taken up nursing as a pro- fesslon.

I Medical tutrviee F'orence Nightingale and Red cmei iler work in the Crimea. her repu-I tution. her social position and, above all. her knowledge and courage. made it possible for her to bring about a revolutionary change in the military medical services or the day. From an understaffed branch of the army, chiefly notable for callousness and inefficiency, it became a well- rquipped and reasonable ettieiont part in the military machine. The Founder of Red Cross Henri Dunant, a young rpublic- spirited citizen to Geneva. was tra- velling a few years latre in northern Italy. He had read the reports Flor- out-e Nightingale had made to the Itritish Government, and, ttnding himself in the neighborhood ot the French and Austrian armies, deeid- ed to see for himself how the sick and wounded were cared tor. He leached the battlefield of So1ferino within twetttydour hours of one of the, bloodiest battles of the war. He saw a Meld strewn with dead and (lying men. tortured by thirst, Mead- ing rrom muumerable wounds. Butter, ing indescribable agonies. with no mm to bring them any help or relief.

F'orence Nightly-gun and Red cm The relationship between Florence Nightingale and tho Red Cross was three-fold. Ihe inspired Dunant, through whose ettorts the Red Cross Convention of Geneva came into existence; she devoted her life to the relief ot suiterlng. and she foresaw the need of an educated public bpin- ion tor the prevention of disease and the Improvement of health. Thus she 'personified in advance the Red Cross organization as it exists throughout the civilized world today. It is. therefore, most appropriate that the birthday of this famous Eng- lishwoman should he commemorated as "British Empire Red Cross Day."

With this increase there has come, unfortunately, an increase in trame accidents.

The Government and my department have taken every precaution within every inch of the way The Government and my department have taken every precaution within our means to make motoring safe. We have built wider highways, have painted trafBe lines on the pavements, have erected signs at every curve, intersection and railway crossing, have continuously patrolled the roads with uniformed police and in many other ways have striven earnestly to reduce trafhe accidents. And you, Mr. and Mrs. Motorist, truek.driver and motorcyclist! Have you done everything you possibly can to prevent accidents that may kitfro" and your family or some other persons to whom life is also sweet? If you will just remember to Try Courtesy in all your thinking and driving in a motor vehicle you will have made your greatest possible contribution to the reduction of motor vehicle accidents. Please remember there will be more trafrir. than ever this season and there will be more accidents and deaths, too, (and that may include you) unless there is more Courtesy shown by every motorist towards every other motorist.
