There all babies may receive proper care, mothers will be allowed fo remain until they have fully recovered, appar- ently normal healthy children will be examined and little defects, which in time might prove serious, cured: preventative health mea- sures will be carried out and with the hospital as a eentre, much may be accomplished in improviffg the conditions under which we live. The nursing profession wags one of the noblest and most exalted, Dr. Routley declared, and it was the foundation of all hospitals, Tracing the history of hospitals fhe speaker stated that they were by no means new institutions. When the good Samaritan found the badly injured man by the wayside and brought him to an inn where he might be cared for, that inn Zutomatically became" a hospital. . "But," he said, "in mediaeval times, and even until a few gener- ations ago, hospitals were just shelters for people who were phy- sically wrecked, derelicts and others. They were administered by kind hearted and well meaning persons wha knew little or noth- ing about the science of healing the sick." Tn the past hundred years, Dr. Routley declared, Canada had de- veloped into a mation. Similarly public health was a development of the same period. ¥t was Floreuce Nightingale, the gentle English lady, whose ministrations relieved the wound- ed British soldiers during the Cri- mean war, who really established the hospital as a scientific insti- tution. Then there was Pasteur, the great French scientist, whose researches had done so much for mankind. Lord Lister, too, had made contributions to the science of public health for which the whole world is his debtor. Such glorious names as these would surely stem the efforts of those who would commercialize the medical profession, he said. "These men, who did so much, spent a great deal of their lives in obscurity," he stated. "But a * new day has dawned. Thank hea- ven that when a Banting rises now he is publicly recognized." Great tribute to hospital boards and those who had contributed funds for the establishment and operation of hospitals, was paid by the speaker. But after all, he des. clared, without nurses<there could be no hospitals and everyone stands indebteq for the self sac- riticing and intelligent work of this profession. Citing instance after instance of the heroism and self forget- fulness of nurses in caring for the sick, Dr. Routley said, "There is a wonderful history of achieve- ment, self sacrifice and hard work behind you. I am confident that You as graduating nurses will live up to that history and will be an honor and a credit to your call- ing." G. D. Conant G. D. Conant, chairman, ex pressed apreciation for the splen- did address of Dr. Routley and endorsed his praise of the nurs- ing profession. On behalf of the board of trustees he congratulated all the graduating nurses upon thelr success. 'The three years which ou have spent at the hospital _ has |k said. "You have benefitted by the splendid training which you have veceived, while without your ser- vices, while in 'training, the hos- pital would not have been able to earry on. The need of expandng the ine stitution in order to accommodate the increasing number of patients hoped that in time the hospital would be able to conduct an out. door clinic and other services for the improvement of public health. One by one as their names were called, the graduates come for- ward and received their diplomas ktrom Mr, Conant, Mrs. R. 8, Mc- Laughlin made the presentation of class pins, expressing as she did so, her congratulations to the members of the graduating class and leaving with them a fragment of advice ip their work in the years that are before them. At this interval, Miss Duckwith, president of the Alumnae Association of the hospital read a letter addréssed to Mrs. McLaughlin on behalf of the Alumnae members and the oldest member of the Association, one of the first class to graduate from the Oshawa Hospital, Mrs. Archer of Port Perry, presented to Mrs, McLaughlin, a huge basket of del- phinium and pink roses. The graduation exercises could not have been complete without the short address by Dr, D. 8. Hoig medical superintendent of Hospital. Briefly, Dr. Hoig offer- ad his congratulations to the seni- ors, then turning to the audience before him, he dealt for & few mo- ments on a topic of particular in. terest to the general public of Oshawa, that of the rates and charges at the institution of which he is a member. Dr, Hoig, agreed that the charges were high at the hospital but he stated that the public receives service from the hospital at cost. "The cost to operate a modernly equipped hos- pital is enormous, and it is im- possible to lessen the cost. Every dollar that is paid to the hospital is paid out," It is the assistance that comes from the Ladies' Aux- iliary, that enables patients and those working in the hospital to enjoy the certain luxuries that are within the building. Without their help, the hospital could hardly eke out an existance," said the doctor. Mr. R. S. Morphy, treasurer of the Hospital Board and Mr. R, 8. McLaughlin presented the prizes at the conclusion of which, Mr. McLaughlin spoke very briefly, He made particular mention of Miss MacWilliams and her efforts towards making the Oshawa Hos- pital nne of the best in Canadas, Guests and friends of the nurses and members of the Hospital Aux- iliary retired to the gymnasium of the school at the conclusion of the exercises to partake of dainty re- freshments that were served from a table prettily decorated with Jellow and red tulips and stream- rg representing the class colors.

When the Canadian Govern- ment decided two years ago to build two destreyers they thought it was desirable to have some mods ification from the British stand- ard design, and the contract was awarded to Messrs. Thornycroft. The Canadian Government decid- ed the vessels must be capable of operating in conjunction with the British vessels of the "Acasta" class 'and they further arranged with the British Admiralty to as- sist them by examining all designs and supervising in conjunction with the Canadian officials the ma- terial and building of the ships. The vessels are very similar in dimensions to the standard British vessels and speed and armament also closely resemble the British boats. The following is a comparison with the '"Acasta'" Class: Length B.P., '"Acasta" class, 312 feet, Canadian, 309 feet. Length over all, "Acasta" class, 323 feet; Canadian, 321 feet, Breadth, ""Acast" class, 32 ft. 3 inches; Canadian, 32 ft. 6 ins. Displacement, "Acasta' class, 1332 tons; Canadian 1320 tons. Speed designed, "'Acasta' class, 35 knots; Canadian, 35 knots. Guns ete. for both types: Four 4.7 inches; Torpedo tubes, eight 21 inch; Machidery, single reduc- tion geared turbines; Boilers, three water tube. The special Canadian require- ments have included the provision of heavier scantlings and suffiei- ent stability to withstand accumu- lation of ice on the upper decks, bridges and riggings, ete, Clima- tic conditions have also necessi- tated the provision of an elaborate heating system for the mainten- ance of a readonable temperature in all living spaces with sub-zero outside temperature, The accommodation is arranged somewhat differently to that on ordinary Britisly destroyers and is in many ways more complete, It also. includes such amenities for the erew as a recreation space, shower bath, faster and more pow- erful motor hoats and so forth. The technical officers of the . Canadian Naval Service, anxious to secure ships suitable in every way for employment in Canadian Coastal waters and to meet speci- al conditions peculiar to Canadian requirements decided to depart from the recent Admiralty design in many instances and evolve a design of their own. The ideas and particulars put forward by the Canadian authorities have been developed by Thornycrofts and the results show an advanced type of ship suitable for employment in See Soon New Destroyers conjunction with destroyers of the Royal Navy and at the same time 'capable of service as independent ships. The names that have been selec- ted are those of well-known riv- ers in Easters and Western Can- ada, The names are an appropri- ate choice as the "Saguenay" will be stationed at Halifax and the "Skeena" at Esquimalt. Th thus inaugurating a river class the Canadians are not likely to run short of names, however many vessels they may require in future years. The official trials of these ves- sels were earried out with very successful results, the "Skeena" obtaining a speed of a little over 36 knots on the measured mile, and 35% knots as the average of a six hours' trial, as against the contract requirements of 35 knots, The machinery was not forced in any way, and these results can be readily repeated on service. The horse power developed was abopt 34,5600. The steering trials inai- cated that the turping circle is remarkably good, and the vessels have proved themselves excellent sea boats in bad weather, The ventilating and heating ar- rangements have also proved very efficient as is necessary in vessels which sometimes cruise in the hot climate of the West Indies, and others which are subject to tem- peratures far below zero fahren- heit. The vessels are fitted with steel pole masts. These proved very suc- cessful on the six Chilian destroy- ers recently built by Messrs, Thornyerofts. The steel construc- tion gives added security in view of the ever increasing weight of wireless gear, signalling lamps ete. which have to be carried. A mainmast is titted in place of the conventional jigger mast, on ac- count of the néw International Rules by which a second steaming light is necessary. * Curiously enough one of the very few destroyers fitted with a mainmast was the old "Nubian," a Tribal Class destroyer, built by Thornycrofts in-1909. This vessel was the cause of one of those few occasions when the Board of Ad- miralty have perpetrated a joke The "Nubian" was torpedoed by a strong German destroyer force on October 26, 1916. She was hit in the bow, but did not sink, as her Commanding Officer was able to run her ashore undgr the South Foreland. Some time later, the "Zulu" was mined near Calais, but was successfully brought into Port minus a large portion of her stern. History does not relate who had the brilliant idea of avoiding having to build a new how for the "Nubian," and a new stern for hd "Zulu," At any rate the two infact halves were joined to- gether and the compound boat ap- peared on the Dover patrol as H.M.8. "Zubian." FARM NEWS Garden Aunnals One can make'a very complete job of laying out grounds with annuals alone, Where the residence is rent- ed and the tenant does not care to go to the expense of permanent planting, this is about the only course left open, and it may also be adopted for adding a touch beauty to the summer cottage or any other place of temporary abode, For hedging and for breaking corn- er and basement lines around the house, use big bushy stuff like four o'clock, cosmos, tall marigolds, Mex- ican sunflowers or castor oil plants. For creepers we have scarlet run- ner beans, sweet peas, climbing nas- turtium, hops and many others, We can usc any of the medium type annuals such as asters, zinnias, pet- unias, gladiolus for little screens, clumps and solid beds of one color, while along the edge of borders or walks alyssum, lobelia and dwarf nasturtiums should be put out, Celery Contrary to somewhat general opinion, celery 'is not a difficult plant to grow and a large quantity céan be produced in a very small ace thus putting this vegetable in the city garden class. The first rows for early use should be put out anytime now, with the main lanting about the first week in Ful, lants' are produced from seed sown in the hotbed, or they may be purchased from almost any corner store at this time. The ideal soil is a very rich well-drained mich, thought practically any com- bination will deo, so long as we fer- tiline well, have good drainage and apply lots of water. Give the plants from Six to eight inches each way, and rows may bé as close together as we like after making allowances for cultivation. Keep the ground thoreughly worked up all the time. Light applications of nitrate of soda just after the plants are set out and again in two or three weer'c will help growth along wonderfully. The simplest way to bleach cefery in the fall is to place boards close up against the plants on both sides of the row, and back with earth. Tn the fall plants may be lifted with- out bleaching and stored, tightly placed together in bushel baskets in some dark place, and they will be white and tender in a week or ten ys. Timely Rose Work Roses require faifly deep cultive ation and heavy sertilizing up until the first of July in order to push growth and produce flowers, After this, however, it is advisable to slow down so that the plants may get hardened before the cold weather sets in. To aid in this process, which takes two or three months, it is a good plan to plant a few low growing plants, such as pansies, cal endylas, violas, or dwarf nastur- tiums, around the i which will brighten up the bed and benefit the bushes by absorbing moisture, At this time a good quick-acting fertilizer is advised. After July, however, a 'slower fertilizer, such as liquid manure, or bone meal Sould be used.
