Lady Islington on Nursing, At the opening of the extension to (lie IMnscs' Homo in Auckland yesterday, telegraphs our Auckland correspondent, J.ady Islington contrasted (lie nursing of the present day with that of a hundred years iigo. Her Excellency gavo a humorously pathetic description of callousness and cruelty in nursing as depicted in Martin Chuzzlcwit. After that work of J)ickens was published the effort to iinprovo the. class of nurse was .■.turfed which culminated in tho splendid hospital nurses of the present day. What skill, devotion, tenderness, and patience ran do is now being done. "I never visit a hospital," said Lady Islington, "but I am struck by the cheerfulness add unremitting care of the nurses. Tho rellecfion of their unselfishness can bo wen in tho patients themselves. I hope, now and then, in their leisure hours, tho nurses will think of the back-blocks. Many schemes are thought of, but few perfected, for devising a scheme of nearer nursing for sick in the back-blocks whose lives may be endangered, by moving. I hope the nurses, talking among themselves, may help to solve the problem, or, at any rate, be ready to help should any of them bo called upon some day." Orange Lodge Bazaar, Tho.
