To properly appreciate her work it must be remembered that for more than a century pre- vious to her organization of nurs- ing service, hospitals had resembled the worst type of prisons where those who were so unfortunate as to be ill were at the mercy of attend- ants who were both heartless and ignorant. The famous English nurse began a career by taking training at Kaiser- swerth on the Rhine a hospital and deaconess home established in 1836. Returning to England, she put her own ideas of ood nursing into ef- KIPPEN The executive meeting of the Kip - pen East Women's Institute was held at the home of Mrs. John Sin- clair on Monday evening, May 2.
