Frances Nickawa After World Todr
Finds Canadians Think Too Little
of Selves -Indian Princess, and a
Full -Blooded Cree Who Told Story
of Indians Throughout the World
• Miss Nickawa, who will give a re-
cital next Wednesday evening in the
United Church, recently returned
from a world trip, and the Toronto
Star published the following inter -
On the last lap of a journey thEit
Inc carried her around the world,
and heard her tell the story of the
Canadian Indians by verse in a hun-
dred cities, Frances Nickawa, full-
blooded Cree, from the shores of
Hudson Bay, has gratified a wish by
returning to her native Canada in
time for Christmas.
Her derculation of the globe seart-
ed from Vancouver in company with
her foster mother, Mrs. Hannah Tin-

spring, after which it will probably
start all over again. Meantime Tor-

lodged at the Fred Victor *Mission.
Canada, she said, Is looked upon
as the outstanding country of the
future by almost all classes of peo-
ple except Canadians. Tenforteneately
she thought the people of this Dom-
inion needed enthusiasm from within,
a little self -advertising without brag -
godly tactics. In short Canada suf-
fers from an inferiority complex.
"There is really no place in the
world like Canada you know," she
continued. "But what the country
seems to need is a real love of coun-
try. In Australia they have it. They
think of their country first as an
Australian, and they 'are an enthuse
iiestece. generous, open-hearted, won-
der:Et-el people. I hope to go back and
visit them again."
Australia Pretty -Not Rugged
• What struck Miss Nickawa about
the -great commonwealth was its lack
of rugged qualities compared with
thaland of her birth. "I rather like
to compare the two countries as two
womee," the told The Star. "Aus-

when I wanted to have it cut, but I
was rather bashful about it, and left
it on. Now I am glad I did since
everyone Inc flocked to bobs and
shingles. It results in an absence of
all personality. Goodness knows,
things are standardized enough, but
people are groping for personality
again, and they will find it. People
are not natural to -day. They are
not themselves.They are trying to
be something they save in the movies
or read about in a book. Why don't
they try to be nateral? To be them-

the Jones family.
When she was a little girl of four,
living in Norway House on the Nel-

was a teacher in it nearby Methodist

went on to Vancouver, where they
lived for 14 years. Since then they
have travelled far, but as Miss Nick -
awe explained, •"the more I Ave!
the more I realize how little I know.
I shall travel some more. I like it.
But sometimes I can still hear the
voice of the pine tree and the great
open spaces. I get lonesome, you
see."

Birth of Florence Nightingale
One hundred and six years ago, on
the lilth May, 1820, Florence Night-
ingale, the itoble.heareee women Who
revolutionieed the profeeeion of nurs-
ing throughout the world, was born
in the Italian city of Florenc.e, whole;
her parents were than residing.
Her father was a wealthy English
country squire, and had she so chos-
en, her life could have been one of
luxurious ease; but tit an early age
she resolved to devote herself to the
cause of suffering humanity, and
even as a child she ministered to the
sick and afflicted poor in the vicinity
of her home. When she reahed wo-
manhood she turned her back on the
social enjoyments of her family and
friends, and, after making a careful
study of the work of British and
European hospitals and reformatories
she took a course of training in
..scientific nursing and surgical chess-
eng at Fliedner's famous institution
in Germany.
In 1853 she was entrusted with the
management and re -organization of
the Lontlon Home for Sick Governess-
es where she found ample opportuni-
ties to show her wonderful capabili-
ties. A year later the Crimean war
broke out, and in a short time the
British nation was intensely stirred
by the reports of the terrible suffer -
Inge of the sick arid wounded soldiers
at the front. The Government issued
an appeal for trained nurses, and Mies
Nightingale, who was one of the first
to volunteer, was given plenary pow-
ers over all the nurses, with perrnie-
Won to draw upon the Government
for whatever money and help she
c,onsidered necessary.,
On the 27th October, 1854, elle
/eft England with the first detach-
ment of thirty-seven nurses enany of
them ladies of gentle birth like her-
self, and on the 4th November she
arrived at the hospital barracks at
. Scutari. She efound that ns proper
provision had been made for the re-
ceptien of the sick and wounded
soldiers, or for their maintenance and
1 medical treatment, with the result
that the death rate had been extreme-
ly high, reaching almost 50 per cent;
but she speedily turned chaos into
order and in a very short time the
mortalities were reduced to two per
Her sympathy and cheering words
did the patients almost as much good
as the work of the electors, and her
custom of passing alone through 81i
wards every night, carrying a little
lamp, to see that all was well with
her charges, brought peace and com-
fort to the stricken men, who kissed
her shadow as it fell across their
p11-
lqw and murmured a blessing en the
• woman whom they christened "The
Ludy of the, Lamp."
She was eventually given charge ef
all the hospitals on the Bosphorus and
at one time had over ten thousand
men under her care. She remained
at her post for nearly two years, and
only once relinquished her labor of
mercy when she was stricken for a
brief period with an attack of fever.
All the world rang with her name, and
on her return to England she was pre
sented with the sum of $250,000,
which had been raised by public sub-
scription. She devoted the whole or
this money to establish training homes
, for nurses.
Prior to Florence Nightingale's
wonderful work in the Crimeis the
majority of British nurses were of the
"Sairey Garnp" type, but her splen-
did example led to hosts of weThbred
women taking up scientelc nursing as
their life's work, and eversince that
; time the nursing profession leae ar-
tracted to its ranks the best and
noblest of our womankind. Her later
life was filled with usefulness, and
her advice was •constantly sought in
connection with hospital work, in
which she continued to take an active
interest until she passed a.way in 1910
at the age of 90.
