a proper manner, and the way to take care of sick-rooms for the best good and comfort of the patient; in keeping all utensils and appliances perfectly clean and disinfected; in making accurate observations of the pulse, temperature, respiration, expectorations, the secretions and state of the skin; of mental conditions as to delirium, dementia, etc.; of the condition as to sleep, appetite, effects of diet or of stimulants and medicines, and in the managing of cases of senility and senile dementia. Pupils are taught the administering of medicines and the application of external remedies; how to take notes on cases, the making up of a nurse's record, and the reports to the attending physician. Candidates will be received between the ages of twentyone and thirty years. They must be of sound health. They should send a brief personal history, and give the names and addresses of responsible persons, not of their own kin, who know their good character and capabilities. Upon the approved recommendation of the Superintendent they will be received for four months on probation. At the end of the fourth month candidates, if considered satisfactory to the authorities in charge of the hospital, are permitted to join the school upon signing an agreement to complete the prescribed course of two years, and to conform to all rules. The right is reserved by the authorities of the hospital to terminate at any time the connection of any pupil for inefficiency, misconduct, generally unsatisfactory record, or for any other reason which may be deemed sufficient. While the education and training which are afforded are intended to be a full equivalent for their services, there is given the pupils, toward defraying their necessary personal expenses, ten dollars per month during the first year and twelve dollars per month for the second year. If pupils successfully fulfil the requirements for the full term of two years, and pass the necessary examinations, they will, upon the termination of their service, receive the diploma of the hospital. There are no fixed dates for the beginning of service, but accepted candidates may enter whenever vacancies occur. Pupils are required after they join the school to wear the Training School uniform and regulation shoes.
