    THE TRAINING INSTITUTION EOR NURSES EOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR, June, 1850. The Council have much pleasure in laying before the Governors and Subscribers the following account of their proceedings during the past year, together with the views which they entertain as to the present state and prospects of the Institution. They have endeavoured (and they trust with good promise of success) to commence realizing in practice the design of the Institution, that, namely, of im¬ proving the character and qualification of Nurses by professional training, combined with the best moral and religious principles and habits, under the direction of a clergyman, aided by the influence and example of a Lady Superintendent and other resident sisters. The Council consists of the same Members as in June last, with the addition of one member, J. W. Smith, Esq. who has been elected to complete the full number of twenty-four. The Lev. J. W. Twist has continued to the present time his zealous and valuable services in behalf of the Institution. He is now, however, about to resign his office, and the Rev. P. Maitland having been elected in his stead, and having been approved by the President, will enter upon the duties of Master from this date. a 2
