Sherrill are waltching these trees closely and fol- lowing a definite program of trans- | planting, year after vear, so that all times these trees will not only be placed to afford the prettiest view, but to preserve the trees and allow them to c to best development. The public who so much enjoy these trees need not fear, Col. Sher- rill says, that they will 'be allowed to die for lack of careful study, how best to place and care for them and to help them reach most attractive development.

The coming Shrine conven- tion is an mple of an emergency. and the nurses now th perhaps they will get to visit only a few of the many patients they now call on at that time. More nurses will answer this problem immediately. In 1900 the Instructive Visiting Nurses Sociely was formed, the sign- ers of the original articles of incor- poration being Miss mily Tucker- man, Mrs. M. W. C. Bayard and Dr Anna “H. Wilson. One nurse com- prized the staff at that time, but be- fore the vear was over three were carrying on the work, which at that time was limited to the very poor. As time grew on, however, it d. voloped that the middle class could not take charity, but yet needed the type of help given by the I. V. N, & a fee was levied on those who could pay and gratituous service was rendered thos unable to. expend | even the smallest amount of money. Charges Are Light. Now when a nurse visits a sick- room and her work is completed, the charge for making the patient com- fortable, for administering to his wants and setting him on the road to recovery is only 80 cents; mother and niew baby the 35 cents extra. Statistics, however, show that the most of these re- ipts do toward =supporting the soclety is to the extent of 31 per cent. the balance coming from the public.
