Florence Nightingale Dies
At the age of ninety passed away
Sunday in her English Home the great-
est woman of thenineteenth century ;
Florence Nightingale. She was the
daughter of an English gentleman, and
her first name was given her because
she was born in the city of Florehce in
Italy. It is matter for surprise the.,
of such l'
t sight physique should ']Ave so
long survived the strain through which
shee assed
p between thirty And forty
there is nothing surprising in. the fact
that in spite of her personal disappear-
ance from public view she has retained
her place with great persistence in the
public memory.
Miss Nightingale's attention was very
early in life directed to the need for
more intelligent and better trained
nurses iu hospitals of all sorts, but chief-
ly in those extemporized for the treat-
ment of sick and wounded soldiers in
Sine of war, She had completed sever-
al years of training and observation in
Great Britain, Germany and France
when the Crimean war began in 18Se.
Never was there greater need before -or
since tor suck] bele as she nod her corps
of self-saei9ficiur
), British women brought
to the army, and her services were
deemed so well entitled to special re-
cognition that the national feeling on
the subject found expression in a
popular donation of a quarter of a mil-
lion of dollars. With characteristic
altruists she used this fund to endow a
training home:for nurses, which appro-
priately commemorates her naive, •
The high reputation she had won by
her professloual skill .and prettied
common sense was recognized by the
army surgeons of both the United States
and Germany in the great wars of 1864-
7o inclesive, and she has never been
ignored by the British army authorities,
More than one generation will have
passed away before the traditions per-
petuating the work and personality of
