" CRADUATE NURSES REGEIVE DIPLOWAS Rev. T. A, Greene 'Speaks a Normal School Exercises The principles of science and syviipathy in practice were expound- +1i to the graduates of the New Brit- n hospital trainlng school for nurses at the annual graduation ex- ercises last evening. The exercises were held in the State Normal school. Diplomas were prescnted to the nurses by James S. North, president «f the training school. Class pins were presented by Miss Maude k. I'raver, directr of nurses. Bou- Guets of flowers were presented 1o the graduates by their friends and admirers. The principal address was deliver- ei Ly Rev. Theodore Ainsworth Groene, pastor of the First Congre- | gaiional church, who took the above principles at his theme, He called the attention of the graduates to the fact that in their years of training they have learncd many things about life that the! average person does not have the apportunity to learn. He told them they had watched over the realities of things “at ti the end of life.” He said, in part: “And, in all the three years—if your training ®ood for anything at all - luman sympathy and your scienti © understanding has been made ctficient. So efficient, let us hope, that you are truly fitted to hecons the ministering, bedside angels which your calling so much needs and wants.

An eight pound baby, for instance, needs twenty-four ounces of fluld. Later on the rule is two ounces of fluid per pound of body weight. The amount of fluid absorbed by a breast fed baby is best determined by weighing him before and after feed- ing for the whole day; and it is easily calculated for the bottle fed one.
