A STATEMENT OF THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED SINCE ITS ORGANIZA- TION IN MAY, 1881. The 'first year of this Society is now completed, and - its Managers feel that although no regular report can be issued until after the general meeting which will place in January, 1883, a brief sketch ] take of the work accomplished may be interesting to those who contribute to its support. During the past year twenty pupils were received in the school, thirteen of whom have attained a sufficient degree of profi- ciency to enable them to take the positions of Head nurses in the Hospital, or to undertake the care of patients in private families. The training has been in charge of the Superintendent of the School, un- der the supervision of a Committee on Instruction, composed jointly of two Managers of the Training School and two members of the Medical Board of Mount Sinai Hospital. A regular course of lectures has been given by a number of prominent physi- cians and surgeons. The practical training has been obtained in the wards of Mount Sinai Hospital by the courtesy of the Directors, who have repeatedly expressed themselves 4 as more than satisfied with the rapid progress made by the School and the thorough manner in which its work has been achieved during its short term of ex- istence. Both the House and Visiting Staff of the Medical Board have also testified their approval of the improvement in the care of the patients and in the condition of the wards. A few of the nurses have been sent out ,o private cases and have brought back with them high testimonials of efficiency and good conduct. In the admission of pupils no distinction is made in regard to creed. but as the members and patrons of this School are exclusively from the Jewish com- munity, we deem it of interest to them to know that there are at present six Jewesses in the School, which is about one-third of the total number of pupils. The original aim of the Society was to open a new field of labor to young women of Hebrew faith, and it is hoped that as the advantages of this profession be- come more widely known, the number of Jewish pupils will be considerably increased It may be well to state here that another object of the Society is to give gratuitous nursing to the poor, but the .Managers regret that this is still beyond its means, as the expenses for the maintenance of the School, salaries cf nurses. &c, greatly exceed the receipts from all sources. A list is appended of those who originally sub.-cribed to establish the School, also a list of present Life Members, Patrons and Members. It is honed that in view of the worthy claims of this Institution, every effort will be made by the present subscribers to interest their friends in its behalf. ,, , , SUBSCRIBERS.
