O, Ramstad in opening s address at the graduating exer of the nurses of the Bismarck | ical hospital at the Auditori- st_ evening. Bishop L. H. Seager, D.

Evidently there were train- ing schools for nurses as history records that at Alexandria there were 600 nurses receiving instruction. “During ithe Darx Ages nursing was mainly in the hands of religious erders who performed their labors faithfully and according to the best knowledge of the times, “In the early part of the modern| Many a Gloomy Countenance in Bis-| cers, era no training or qualifications were required of the nurse and the field was open to any one who could earn a livelihood in that way. It was the day of what is now known as “the born nu ” who did the best she could without instruction or train- ing. Medicine was trying to free itself from the clouds of mysticism and ignorance, Broad minds were tudying the structure of the human body and seeking knowledge of the function of its various organs. They were searching for tne truth, whicn was later to enlighten the world re- garding the causes of disease. “A description of conditions in the hospitals of London and Parts in the 19th century pictures to us a state of neglect and hopeless sufferihg, which makes us thankful that the world has advanced in knowledge and skill. “The brilliant researches of Pas- teur who discovered bacteria and their relations to disease followed by Lord -Lister's application of anti- septics in surgery, revolutionized the { Nurses} | practice of medicine and surgery as | Well as the methods of nursing, effect in 1836 where there was found- ed at Kaiserworth, a beautiful vi!- lage on the Rhine, the first modern school of nursing. To Frederika Flieder and her husband, Pastor Flieder the world owes the establish- {ment of the smal! hospita) in which was begun metho lic.! instructioh in nursing. Here came Florence Night ingale, a noble woman from England, for study and professional training. ; She completed the course with | Mother Flieder and later visited the | work for the better care of the sick. | | In 1864 the dreadful Crimean war was | ‘raging and reports came to England | {that her wounded and sick soldiers | were dying by thousands in the field | hospitals because of lack of nursing. | The whole nation became sroused, | money was raised by popular sub- | scription, and 38 nurses with Miss | | Nightingale at their head, were sent to Crimea, The wor. performed by | this small band of trained nurses | was so marvelous that the whole world took notice of it. Largely by their efforts the mortality was re- ‘duced in the army hospitals from 40 | per cent to 2 per cent. It is to be hoped that the world will never for- get Florence Nightingale nor the les- sons she so successfully taught. j “In our own country Clara Barton, | the first president of the American Red Cross, did pioneer work in ele- vating the profession of nursing by {establishing courses of study and practical hospital training. At the ! present time the United States un- | ‘doubtedly leads all countries in the |high standards of its nurses. ‘The present day nurse must complete fixed course of study, planned | national board of educators, She re- lceives three years of hospital train- | ling in the care of medical, surgical, ‘and obstetrical ailments, under al- | most constant guidance of physicians and head nurses. i “The government recognizes the » value of this special knowledge and North Dakota, in common with most | progressive states, has u state board of examiners for nurses, who conduct | an examination of all applicants and | ‘grant the degree of Registered Nurse jto those found qualified. “With the rapid adv: jeal science it is nece graduate nurse to keep abreast of the | times by constant study, the reading | of nursing journals, visits to hospi- | pital centers, and occastonal short | post-graduate courses, which are now | ffered by many institutions. | be news to ihe present class | and to most of the audience that | Yale university has recently estab- | lished an undergraduate school of { | OUT OF THE GLOOM |} marck Now Lightens With Happiness. \ A bad back makes you gloomy.

I had to get up several times during the night to pass the kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended to me and I got three boxes at Bres- low's Drug Store and after using them the trouble disappeared.

She made 244 visits to the homes of the little | ones in order to advise the parents how best to help their childven. She found that 1,128 were below stand- ard weight, or one out of every three.

Monopoly means arbitrary control; it means curtailing opportunities for the individual and such curtailment strikes at the root of American institutions. ” ‘The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is American to the core. It has no de- sire to achieve a monopoly, believing that, because of its carefully worked out plan of organization, its admitted effi- ciency in every department and its care- fully trained, hard-working, loyal body of employees, it has no need for arbi- trary control to meet any competitive condition which may arise. The detailed service, the imsistence upon quality, and the consistently fair price at which its products are sold, in- sure the Company its fair share, of the business in ten Middle Western States where it is organized for seryice. No organization can acquire a mo- nopoly in the oil business. The source of supply of raw material is too scattered ¢ and its value is too great for any one company to get an effective control. Without such control monopoly is impossible. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is the lar, wage factor in the oil business of the Middle West. Yet, the rincipal source of its crude oil supply is in the hands of others. Its competitors have twice as many service stations as it has, and about an equal number of bulk stations, while their combined refining capacity is more than five times that of the Stand- ard Oil Company (Indiana). . _ To indicate the futility of attempting to monopolize the oil industry it is only necessary to quote the following para, phe from the New York Jour- nal of Commerce. During 1921 there were or- ga | 936 new oil companies, with a total capitalization of $1,255,675,000 and During 1922, 78¢ new oil com- panies. were organized with a capitalization of $1,639,693,000. ‘The Standard Oil Company(Indiana) | i wing as the need for its products and service grows. It is ambitious, not to secure a monopoly of the oil business, but,, to. maintain a steady, healthy \ gtowth, ty tendering the greatest oe ice: to thirty million in the Middle West. — 910 So.
