In the list of successful dental students this year in the North-Western University of Chicago, the first -name is that of Mr. T. ii. Butler, of Wellington (says the 'New Zealand Times'). There were 170 candidates for examination, and in each of his fourteen subjects Mr. Butler scored over 90 per cent, of the maximum of manes. Mr. Butler was complimented by the Dean, Dr. G. V. Black, and offered a position on the latter's staff. Mr. Butler is a brother of Mr. J. E. Butler, "dentist, Wellington. There is a possibility (says the ' Dominion ') that the v Nursing Sisters of the Little Company of Mary, which" has its headquarters at Rome, may open an establishment in Wellington. The Sisterhood consists of efficient trained nurses, who carry on hospitals, -mental and otherwise, lhey have a very fine hospital at Lewisham, Sydney, and a mental hospital at Kyde, near the' same city. " The Lady Superior at Lewisham, with another Sister, was in Wellington last week on a health visit, and it is understood that the possible opening of an establishment in this city was mooted " during their stay.
