TUESDAY. JTOTO 30, NURSES GRADUATED. First Annual Commencement Ex J ercises at ; James " Walker i i ;- Memorial Hospital; kVWBS& BY DR. BELLAMY. Preseststlon of Diplomss by'Or. Joseph . Akermsa sod Other Interesting Fes K tores laformsl Receptioa X Mssoalc Temple Quartette. v Theexerclses last evening attending the graduation of the Class of 1903 of the Training School for Nurses, con ducted in connection with the James Walker Memorial Hospital, was a thoroughly charming and delightful affair Indeed, reflecting greatest credit upon Dr. Joseph Akerman, the clever, surgeon in charge; Miss Laura P. Clark, the graceful and highly efficient superintendent nurses; the gentle men composing the Board of Man agers and those of the physicians of the city, who by the sacrifice of their time and attention, made possible a thorough-course of lectures during the year. J" .,, ; . - The exercises took place in the as sembly room on the -first floor of the southwest wing of the building and were attended by many of the leading people of the city both ladies and gen-, tlemen including almost the entire board of physicians of the county. The south end of the room, occupied by the speaker of the evening and others who took part in the exercises, was banked, with palms and flowers, giving a very pretty . effect indeed. The evening opened with devotional exercises by the Bev. Dr. A. D. McClure," pastor of Saint Andrew's Pesbyterlan chureh, after which the audience listened with great pleasure to a superb rendition of rwilight" (Eoschat), by the Masonic Temple Quartette, composed of Messrs. Charles MeMillen, Burdls Anderson, OL H. Cooper and EL K. Holden. . " The annual address by Dr. W. J. H. Bellamy,' which is published in full below, was delivered in most graceful and pleasing manner and was listened towtth keenest interest and enthusi im. He was warmly applauded upon the conclusion of the remarkably fine effort. . The presentation of diplomas by Dr. Akerman came next Dr. Akerman is an easy and fluent speaker and ac companied the formal presentation with" a pleasing allusion to that part of Dr. Bellamy's address referring to the establishment of 'the" profession of trained nurse, citing the. example of Ambrolse Pare, who died as early as 1590. He also gave an Incident of nurses having been kept at their post with a stick and spoke of the differ ence in favor of the present, when the trained nurse Is the noblest and truest of God's creation. The value of mili tary discipliue was;emphasized and he illustrated it by an Incident of Napol eon's army in - Italy where even teamsters weremniformed and taught to love and respect that uniform. He concluded his remarks with the for mal presentation of diplomas, saying to the graduates, Miss Florence E. Hayes, of Pittsburg, Pa., and Miss Alberta Robinson, of Clinton: "By authority of the State of North Caro lina, delegsted to the Board of Mana gers of the James Walker Memorial Hospital, I hereby present you with this diploma, thus conferring upon you the title of trained nurse, with all rights and privileges thereto apper taining. Asa further, token of the appreciation of your care and attention by the managers, I hereby present you with the badge of the institution." The diplomas are handsome works of art and the badge, a beautiful gold pin, circular in shape and bearing in the centre a white enamel cross. On the- front around " the circle are the words "James Walker Memorial Hos pital, Wilmington, N. C," and on the reverse side the name of the recipient beautifully . engraved. The diplomas were received gracefully by Misses Hsyes and Robinson amid the applause of the audience, their twelve school mates and other purses In the institu tutlou, who occupied the front row of chairs in the room. " .. ' . X Upon the conclusion of the presen tation of diplomas, a duet, "The Pilot" (Millard), was rendered with splendid, effect by Mr. Cooper and Mr. H. K. Holden.af ter wich Dr.Akerman made an announcement and the benediction was pronounced by Dr. McClure. "; -Following the graduating exercises, in a room across the hallway 'which was beautifully decorated for the oc casion, an .informal reception was held, , during the progress , of which dainty refreshments were served under the direction of Miss Clark, who was, with her -associates, most charming in her hospitality. 1 :-J , r The refreshment room was decora ted by Behder Bros,' the florists, in yellow and white, the colors Of the in stitution. . The : centre piece was a lovely creation la yellow cannss and asparagus ferns, while from each' cor ner of the table to the chandeliers were suspended white ribbons. The chande liers were drsped withs milax, and In the four corners of the room In advan tageous positions were stately palms, and other plants? As the guests were assembling for the reception the quar tette sang in the hall, "Stars -Of the Summer Night." . " ; : Sincere - regret was expressed that President Walter G :MacBae and Mr. M, J. CorbetW two enthusiastic and de voted members of the Board of Mane gers, could notbe present owing to their. absence abroad. ' The other members of the .Board were present, however and took great interest In x the exer? cises. .They were VI'.Pa.ent H. Sprunt: Mr. Geo. R French, sec retsry and treasurer; Dr, Bellamy, 1903.

It is the consummation of the wishes and desire of the noble bene factor himself, - who, with a counte nance expressive of delight, often conversed with me on the subject. Would that this great man could have lived and could be with us on this oc casion. It would be our greatest pride and pleasure to' place him in a seaV. of honor, and enjoy with him tnese exercises; out providence nas de creed otherwise, his living body can not be with us, his spirit hovers over us; and in that presence let me say. with reverence and candor, the city of Wilmington has never known such a benefsctor. HarnettlLillinzton, Waddell Cand Ashe,' of the American Be volution, contributed much to our existence ; Nature, with its bountiful provision, has. done much for .our prosperity; but compare anything and everything that has been done in the history of our town with what James Walker accomplished for suffering humanity, In the alleviation of its ills. Forty thousand dollars, made in the State of North Carolina, honestly and Indus. triously, : has beenl expended, judi ciously and In a most praiseworthy manner in tbe erection ofthls superb structure, and he, too, not "to the manor born.", It is a .monument to his memory. and even though his name should be effaced from the building, generations yet unborn will revert to the estab lishment of this institution as a great event in tbe history of this time- honored town; a "monument more lasting than brass and more durable than marble." The institution of a school for the training of nurses, by a systematic course of instruction, having been considered essential to-every hospital of any importance. In connection with this hospital there were provisions made by a special act of the legisla ture for a training school for nurses, the legitimate offspring of an excellent system all over the country. Though the training of nurses in an established training school was not commenced in Europe until Miss Nightingale, fresh from experience In the Crimean War, with great gene rosity established the first training school of nurses, under the auspices of the Order of "St. John,-at St. Thomas' Hospital in Jondon in 1860 ; as early. as the year 1800, however, Dr. Valentine Seaman gave a course of twenty-six lectures to the nurses of the New York Hospital upon impor tant topics ia relation to nursing and hygiene; these lectures . were pub lished and are the first recorded efforts for the improved training of nurses in the United States. It was not, however, until 1863 that training schools were successively founded as follows: In Philadelphia In 1863, in Boston 1873, in New York 1873, and from that time dates the Impetus to the improved nursing sys tem, which bss led to the organization of schools in all the great cities of the United States, graduating many thou sands annually. Every year of - the continuance ol this school. In connection with the hospital, will, I believe, teem with fresh proofs of; its importance, its utility and Its blessings, and as each succeeding occasion similar to this rolls around, 1 trust the number or graduates will increase and the char acter oflhm will remain good, thus enhancing the value and Increasing the reputation of the" institution. The young Jaaies, who are to re ceive their diplomas, have after hard study and arduous labors at the bed side, and under the most trying cir cumstances, fulfilled all their obliga tions, and passing : successfully the most rigid examinations, will now enter upon a different arens, and will X trust and believe, renect credit upon their alma mater.. I have . seen personally their . good work and I bespeak for them a pros perous future. . They win ao weir duty, they will smooth and soothe the pillqw of pain and disease, and will materially and effectually contribute to the success of tbe medical attendant whoever and wherever he may be. And right here, and appropriately too, let me saytnwords'6f ' admonition to the graduating-nurses, that there is snd always should be a community of interest between the - doctor and the trained nurse; one is dependent on the other; whatever benefits one, benefits the other; harmony, congeniality ana a hearty co-operation will always re dound to the comfort and materially. aid intsff eeting the cure of the patient. They must remember that, as gradu ate nurses, they are presumed to be resourceful and tactful, and under the most trying circumstances which pre-. vail in severe emergency eases, wnetn- er surgical or medical, they should be gentle, but firm, patient and forbear ing, ignoring the uneasiness ana whims of the suffering victim ; ior im patience in a-tralned nurse as well as a physican, Is never tolerated by the suf- t a mm ' m AS ferer or tnose immediately lnieresiea in hlm.-v . - ... Remember that cleanliness, cheer fulness, vigilance and systematic regu larlty are the great qualities needed in a sick room. Remember, too, to hold on to a case, no matter how adverse the circumstances are, with a tenacity which never abandons a case wnue there is life. - ; --."'--" :-. It was mv pleasure to lecture to you during the last session of this Training School, and as a prelude to my re marks on nursing in levers, j. naa oc casion to say.' and will now reiterate; that nursing in levers constitutes tne neater portion of a trained nurse's an ties.' especially in private work.. The services of trained nurses! nvsuch cases are needed for a longer period of time, demand more vigilant attention, more patience and forbearance, intelligence and tact, than in anyther branch of work." The. nurse should be clean, cheerful, uniformly kind and at tentive and strike , always : a happy mean between extremes, on the one hand ' avoiding dereliction of - duty. such as tardiness in carrying out the directions of the physician, failure to note in time changes In the condition of patient, and on the other hand sup-: plying the patient's wants, ana pay lng many little attentions-which . are asfraeablst to the natlent and appreci ated by him ancl often remembered with lasting gratitude. An important point in the care of a patient is, - that he shall not be needlessly disturbed here it Is where the well- trained - pro fessional nurse is such' an advantage.

Nurses who know their business, but imperfectly, are apt to be always in motion, always addressing the un fortunate patient, keeping him awake when he wants to sleep, constantly forcing drinks upon him, never rest ing themselves or letting him rest. t-N arses from experience having ac quired great, skill will be able to see not only "the disease in the sick man, but the sick man in disease." . A most pleasant relation should exist between the physician and nurse; if differences there are, they should be adjusted, and under . no circum stances Should a .nurse, particularly In private practice with prejudices against a physician, consent to nurse a pa tient under his care, unless the nurse should make up her mind to do her full duty to both physician and pa tient. Nursing is frequently as Im portant as medical attention. Indeed the doctor and the nurse should be' re garded as "twin forces each of which apart from the other loses half Its value." Nurse every case without temerity but with tenacity and never abandon a case while there Is life. , ?

Competition is the order of the day: there is aiwayeroom at the top, and if you wish to be successful .aim high; My best wishes go with you. and I be lieve I bespeak for all interested in the welfare of our institution as ..well. May you encounter but few thorns and thistles on your pathway, and majrmany flowers and much sunshine cheer snd encourage you, while battling .with the great enemy and horrible monster "disease." I thank you for your kind attention. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS, Mr. Bernard J. Dunn, of the Wadesboro, spent Sunday at beach. Mrs. Franc H.
