of the* National Hoard of the Younn

the co-operation of the County Asso

the Indorsement «»f the New York
Academy of Medicine and of the su

quarters, awaiting th- erection of the
j modern skyscraper, is now at Nos. 51
and 54 Hast Thirty-fourth Street,
which is in charge of Mias Helen Far

These rooms were opened recently
during the sixteenth annual conven
tion in the city of the American So
cb ty of Superintendents of Training
Schools for Nurses, and at the first
; reception there were about 400 \oiing
I women present.
Committee of Thirty.
' The project for erecting a clubhouse
' for nurses was originally started a lit
tie more than a year ago by Mrs. Janet
McCook Whitman, a wealthy woman,
j of New York, w ho was aided in the
j plan by Miss Bertha Conrie, secretary
I for the pr ofessional schools of the Na
tional Hoard of the Young Women’s
Christian Association. Mrs. Whitman
| died before the Idea was crystallized,
i but those who were associated with
her feel now that the success of the
plans will prove in a way a sort of
I memorial for the woman whose phil
anthropic motive gave the building
movement its first impetus and helped
it far toward ultimate attainment.
The lirst actual work done toward
I securing this new club building was
| the appointment of a co-operating
i committee of thirty members to aid
the Young Women’s Christian Asso
ciation in perfecting the plans and
raising the money. The members of
this body are among tin* most promi
nent women of New York.
Following is the nake-up of the
com mlttee.

The County Association of Graduate
Nurses has completed plans for a cen
tral rc girtry. and will co-operate with
Hu- ci ntrul c lub by looting headquar
ters in the club house. Arrangements
have already been made by this or
ganization to establish an office In the
temporary headquarters, where an as
sistant registrar will be located after
June JO. This central registry, which
is a sort of clearing house for the
young women engaged in the profes
■ mu, will be permanently opened in
the fall.
ITnder the present condition, when a
physician or anyone else desires to
summon a nurse, where an instant re

professional mils, s of the greater city

plan that is expected to exert a decid
edly beneficial influence* on the general
health of the public.
Army Nurse* Head Aids.
One of the many nurses actively in
terested in the proposed new club
house is Miss Jaue A. Delano, for
merly superintendent of nurses at
Bellevue Hospital, hut now holding a
government appointment as superin
tendent of the army nurses' corps. She
was in the city during the convention
and gave much of her time to aiding
the work. Miss Delano also is chair
man of the subcommittee on an aux
iliary nurses' corps, appointed by the
War Belief Board, of which many
prominent men and women are mem
bers. \
This big movement started one year
ago. / It aims to enroll at least ten
thousand trained nurses, who stand
in the same relation to the army as
the national guard and the naval re- ]
serve, to be drawn upotn time of war
or whenever any other, occasion)) de
mands.
On the board of which Miss Delano
Is chairman are Miss Mabel T. Board
man, Miss Anna C. Maxwell, superin
tendent of nurses at the Presbyterian
Hospital: Miss Georgia M. Kevins, sec
retary; Miss Sophia F. Pamler. editor
of the Journal of Nursing; Mrs. Fred

more; Major Charles T. Lynch. U. 8.
A.; Dr. Elliott. I'. 8. N.; Miss Emma
Nichols, of Boston, and Mrs. William
Klnnieutt Draper, of this city.
Standing Army Ready.
Miss Delano if; full of enthusiasm
over the possibilities of the rtnndlng
army of nurses to come at the call
of their superior officer when any ca
lamity befalls the country.
"Already nearly ten thousand are
enrolled.” she said, "and they are the
picked women of the profession, en
dorsed either by their own training
school or some organisation in their
own locality. Then they are passed
upon by women who know them, so
that there Is little likelihood of a repe
tition of some of the experiences
which occurred at the time of the
Spanish-Amerlcan war.
“I look upon this body of nurses as
a reserve army, and when the time
comes for them to take the field they
will perform unusual service with the
Nathlonal Guard and Naval Reserve.’’
Miss Delano, who makes her head-,
quarters In Washington, leaves there
shortly for a tour of Inspection of the
hospitals in the Philippines, where
about forty nurses are employed in
the army nurse corps of the regular
army.
Famous Sayings of Famous People
"Think of Your Forefathers! Think of
Your Posterity.”
—John Quincy Adams.
-Vo other American President, not
even Thomas Jefferson, has equaled
'John Quincy Adams in literary ac
complishments. His orations and pub
lic speeches will be found to stand for
a tradition of painstaking, scholastic
J finish hardly to he found elsewhere In
American orations, and certainly not
among the speeches of any other Pres
i Ident.
Some Idea of his early studies may
1 he gained from his father's letter to
Benjamin Waterhouse, written from
Auteuil, France, In 17S3. John Quincy
Adams being then only In his elgh
, tee ith year, the elder Adams said of
, him:
"If you were to examine him In
> ICnglish and French poetry, I know not
where you would find anybody his
superior; in Roman and Knglish hls
' lory, few persons of his age."
In national politics, John Quincy
Adams, the lust of the line of Colonial
gentlemen who achtved the Presidency,
stood for education, for rigid ideas of
moral duty, for dignity and for pa
triotism. "He ended an epoch In
' which," a writer has said, "tt w as
| possible for a man who, as he did.
| wrote, 'Poems on Religion and Socie
I ty.' and paraphrased the Psalms Into
i Kngllsh verse, to he elected President.
! It has heardly been possible since that
day.”
| Chosen ns a Democrat In 1825. Mr.
Adams was really the first White Pres
ident. His speeches are Important,
historically, because they define poltt
j leal tendencies as a result of which
the Whiff party took the place of the
Federalist.
In many ways his most finished
oratorical effort effort was delivered at
Plymouth on the 22d day of December.
1802, In commemoration of the land
hut of the Pilgrims. In this oration he
said: —
"Preserve In all their purity, refine,
if possible, from all their alloy, those
virtues which we this day commem
orate as the ornament of our fore
fathers. Adhere to them with Inflex
ible resolution, as to the horns of the
altar: instill them with unwearied per
. severance into the minds of your chil
dren; bind your souls and theirs to
the national Union as the chords of
life are centred In the heart, and you
shall soar with rapid and stendy wing
to the summit of human glory. Think
of your forefathers: Think of your
1 posterity!”

While examining a number of pret
ty collars in Irish crochet recently
the thought came to me what a good
j investment four inch Dutch collars

l be used for a bertha on one dress,
the ends meeting under tiny bows or
other decoration cm the shoulders.
On another—a low necked frock—
they might be sewed to the upper edge
i and so bring the waist in round Dutch
