In the fall of 1903 the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Colorado Confarence secured the property known as Bellevue Sanatorium in Colorado Springs and opened, a little later, the Colorado Conference Deaconess Hospital, with cwency (20) beds. The splendid service ren-dered soon won the enthusiastic praise of the physicians and people of the community. Patronag.? steadily increased until it became necessary to rent a building for the nurses and put up tents to accommodate the patients.
As the work continued to grow the demand for a hospital with ade-quate facilities became imperative. The Colorado Springs Company, through General Palmer, gave a block of ground on East Boulder street. A building committee was organized and funds raised for a new building which was opened July 1, 1911. and the name changed co Beth-El Hospital.
In January, 1904, the Local Board of Management was organized. Through the years chis Board, composed of women from various religious denominations, co-operated loyally with the Woman's Home Missionary Society, rendering valuable service in many ways, looking especially after repairs and furnishings.
On December 16th, 1922, the ownership of Beth-El Hospital prop-erty was transferred to the Board of Hospitals and Homes of the Metho -dist Episcopal Church to constitute the central unit of the million dollar Hospital for Tuberculous Patients.
In January, 1925 our new laundry and steam plant were completed. The laboratory was moved into the old laundry building so we now have an excellent and well equipped laboratory.
On September 4th, 1925 the laying of the corner stone of the first unit of the new Tuberculosis Sanatorium was attended by a larg~ crowd. This beautiful new building, having a bed capacity of fifty-two, will be opened for use July 10, 1926, and will cost $250,000.
Our nursery has been repainted and beautifully finished in pink and blue. It is one any mother would be proud co have her baby occupy. Many other minor improvements have been made which add co our hospital while others are planned for the near future.
From a humble beginning Beth-El has grown in equipment and efficiency until today it is recognized as one of the leading hospitals in the state.

THE NATIONAL METHODIST EPISCOPAL SANA-TORIUM FOR TUBERCULOSIS .
{""7:::--'HE Sanatorium, now under construction adjoins the - ~ main Hospital on the East. When it is completed it will accommodate fifty-five patients. It will be the most modern structure of its kind in the west.
This Sanatorium is being built by the Methodist Episcopal Church board of Hospitals. Later when the need arises wings on the east and west will be added.
It has four floors, a sun-roof, a full basement and is connected with Beth-El and the laundry via an under ground tunnel.
Plans are being made to receive patients in the early summer months.
Mr. Ricker has just completed the record system for patients to be used in this Sanatorium.

SURGICAL DEPARTMENT
The surgical department of Beth-El is one of the best equipped
departments in the state and consists of three operating rooms. These
three operating rooms are in use every day of the year and with the increase in numbers of operations performed at Beth-El, additions to the operating rooms will b~ necessary in the near future. During the year of 1925 a total of 1.455 operations were performed in this department.
The regular surgical department personnel consists of a graduate
registered nurse as supervisor and five nurses in training as assistants. There is also in addition to this force one operating room orderly. The pupil nurses in the school, as a part of their regular course of study, are
given three months training in the operating room in operative pro -cedure, surgical technique, surgical asepsis and other features of the oper -ating room work with which they must be thoroughly familiar before
graduation.
/ ) ETH-EL maternity department is considered one of
LJ
the best in Colorado. There is ample room fortwen-ty patients. Each room is nicely furnished making it more comfortable for the patient during her time spent at the
Hospira!. Fourteen private rooms, a four bed ward, a two
bed ward, a nursery, Delivery room, and Doctors rest room comprise this department.
A bead necklace, with the name is put on the baby before it is taken ftom the Delivery Room, which makes
it impossible to mistake the babies as most patients fear.
Another marking, the foot prints, on the birth certificates
given every mother before dismissal.
The number of deliveries last year was 240.

THE NURSE'S COURSE IN LABORATORY WORK AND X-RAY TECHNIQUE
In the short three-month period which is now avaiiablc, the longest possible time for which we are able co obtain nurses for rhe complete course in both these departments, it is impossible to do adequate justice co either subject. However, the fundamental sciences upon which all of medicine, and consequently, all of the nurses course is based, can only be practically studied by her and demonstrated to her in these courses.
In a small hospital where a nurse has no possible opportunity Lo do dissection, the only practical demonstration she has on which all of her anatomy must be based are the autopsies done by the laboratory, and where she has the opportunity of seeing ati of the more important organs of the body in position, of forming an idea of their relative position and appearance.
In the X-Ray Oepanmenc sbe sees the practical side of skeletal an-atomy. The relation of bones whicb sbe has seen demonstrated to her on the skeleton are graphically brought before her on the films and the importance of the relations of different bones and their positions is con -stantly brought before her. After sbe sees numerous different types of fractures demonstrated in the X-Ray Room, it is only when these practi-cal sides are brought forth that all of her lecture and book theory begins to really have :iny significance co her.
The space here is so slight that we can only outline the work which the nurse may obtain if she seriously endeavors co do so during her Laboratory and X-Ray course.
In the laboratory she learns, First: the true significance of chemical purity, bacteriological sterility, the real meaning of bacterial diseases, the appearance of the organisms, themselves, which cause these diseases and the methods of staining and culturing these organisms for their bacteri -ological identification and the definite diagnosis of the disease. For those who have bad no prcviou.; chemistry they obtain their first real insight into the simpler bio-chemical reactions.
The proper carrying out of urinalysis is so fundamental that no nurse, whether she has obtained an R. N. and may even be capable of administering a hospital. is really properly trained unless she has ac -quired thz knowledge of this simple laboratory procedure. She not only may obtain a thorough knowledge of the chemical tests of urinalyses but she may also learn the more special tests, careful quantitative estimation of definite pathological substances in the urine and the recognition and importance of various microscopical findings in the sediment.
She may obtain a thorough practical knowledge of the simpler blood tests, the taking of coagulation times, hemoglobin, counting the
~-
'---white cells, the red cells and making the differential count and if she shows ability and application, the more common chemical tests on the blood will also be demonstrated to her and by close application she may acquire a working knowledge of these tests. Technique of the Wasser-mann reaction and various serological rests which are carried out in the modern laboratory are demonsrra1·ed and she may obtain a practical un-derstanding of these more complicated laboratory procedures.
To summarize this work :- This is a brief summ3ry of the knowl-edge which the medical student is required to acquire in the first two years of medical training and if she acquires even a practical working knowledge of such a portion as we are able to give her, in this time, she should increase her efficiency and earning capacity, after graduation, at least 100%.
THE PHARMACY
Miss Keziah Evingson, graduate registered pharmacist at Beth-El for the past eighteen months was unexpectedly called to her home at Fargo, North Dakota, a short time ago by the critical illness of her mother, who later died. By reason of her mother's death, Miss Evingson has decided not to return to Beth-El, and her place has been taken by Miss, Mabel Elder, a graduate registered pharmacist, from the Research Hospital, Kansas City, Missouri. The Beth-El pharmacy is completely equipped to fill the most difficult medical prescriptions and a large quainrity of drugs, chemicals, medical and surgical supplies and equip-ment are carried in stock for this purpose.
In the training school the pharmacist teaches drugs and solutions. In addition to the general cours2 in this subject given throughout the entire thr€e year course of training student senior nurses receive an ad-ditional one month of intensive specialized training in the pharmacy.
'26
THE RECORD DEPARTMENT
The Record Department of Beth-El General Hospital. unexcelled
in hospitals of Colorado for efficiency, is in charge of Mr. H. H. Ricker,
assisted by Miss Lillie E. Swanson, stenographer.
Every service performed for " patient by a nurse is carefully recorded
so that when the patient leaves the hospital a detailed record of the case
is on file for reference. If the patient should ever have occasion to return
to the hospital for treatment a reliable history of the former illness is
therefore available to the attending physician, which often facilitates the
diagnosis of the case. All of this is done for the benefit and protection
of the patient whose welfare is always foremost in the thoughts of the
Beth-El personnel.
During the year of 1925 a total of 2,271 patients were discharged from Beth-El. The medical treatment and hospital car~ of these patients
covered a wide variety of cases, all of whom the nurses in training at
Beth-El had the opportunity to hdp care for.
DIETARY DEPARTMENT
The main kitchen, dietetic laboratory and the dining-rooms are on
the ground floor of the hospital. The patients are served from service
kitchens on third and first floors; second floor patients being served from
the kitchen on first floor.
All special diets are prepared in the Dietetic Laboratory by two
student nurses, who are responsible for delivering them to the floor, where
they are immediately taken to the patients room.
The patients are served their between-meal nourishments from the
diet laboratory. We find this method much more economical than send
-ing supplies to each service kitchen for nourishments. An average of
1500 nourishments are served in a month. The personnel of the depart-ment consists of a dietetian in charge, a student dietetian, four student
nurses and eight employees.
The number of meals served to patients averages 5556 a month
and to nurses and employees 7,176. This is the number served during
January, February and March. During the summer months the average is much higher.
THE COURSE OF STUDY FOR THE SCHOOL OF NURSING OF BETH-EL HOSPITAL
The State Board of Nurse Examiners of Colorado
has recently recommended that the Standard Curriculum
as outlined by the National League of Nursing Education be adopted by all the schools of Nursing of Colorado.
The Srandard Curriculum has been undergoing a
re-vision in the past year. The Education Committee which has been at work on this revision is composed of nearly
one hundred nurses chosen from all parts of the United
Stares and who are connected with the outstanding hospi-tals and schools of nursing of the country. The curricu-lum given below is the result of the work of this
Educa-tion Committee. They have agreed that this is a
reason-able working standard for the higher grade of American Nursing Schools.
The Beth-El School of Nursing bas adopted the
Standard Curriculum recommended by the National League of Education in so far as its adoptability seems possible.

PLEA
God grant me these: the strength to doSome needed service here; The wisdom to be brave and true;
The gift of vision clear,
That in teach task that comes to me Some purpose I may plainly see. God teach me to believe that I
Am stationed at a post,
Although the humblest 'neath the sky, Where I am needed most.
And that, at last, if I do well My humble services will tell.
God grant me faith to stand on guard, Uncheered, unspoke, alone,
And see behind such duty hard My servic~ to the throne.
Whate'er my task, be this my creed: I am on earth to fill a need.

(With Apologies to the Original)Strange the room with all its fittings: neat, no doubt, and full of charm When enough young smiles shall light it and enough young voices warm,
But as yet a cell, a dungeon; and the weary months to spend
All alone, with throngs about her-many here, and not a friend!
In its nooks her trunk stands open, giving many random peep At a wealth of things so homelike they alone would make her weep. Can she bear to use the sweater mother's needles wrought a-gleam
Or the filmy frock for parties that her home town thought "a dream 1 "
Mother's picture on the mantel must be placed without delay,
But the deep-stowed books and cushions must await a blither day.
Du~k is falling on the campus: lights wink bright and laughs arise, And a rippling ukulele flings its tinkle to the skies.
Sadder grows the lonely freshman; big the ache within her throat. Can it be she sought this exil e -launched her frail and tiny boat
On the wide, wide sea of learning-travels many a mile to find Home and home alone was precious, training little to her mind?
But along the echoing hallway comes a sound of neighbor feet
That shall brim the world with sunshine, set the joy-bells ringing sweet. Kindly eyes have seen her tear-stains, tracked her here through winding
ways-Just a taller, riper student mindful of her own first days.
Angels speed you to that portal! Worth your effort is the prize!
You shall see adoring homage light the freshman's hungery eyes, Hear your new-made vassal's chuckle with the outdoor music blend. "Many?" Let there be many! Hand in hand she clasps a friend!

CLASS HISTORY
~
WENTY-FOUR probationers were we who started\_J
J
out in our aeroplane to attain that high destination "R. N." Having become chilled to the atmosphere givenus by Intermediates and Seniors, we completed a three
months flight, and became nurses, so to speak. At the close of chapel one morning we were asked to come to the front. Facing these dignified superiors we repeated the
Florence Nightingale Pledge with much fear and trembling, lest we forget. Our Superintendent of nurses placed the
long envied cap on our much enlarged heads. Now being Juniors we struggled with classes and served with a smile for nine months until we at last landed at the field called
Intermediates. Here we added another stripe to the one on our sleeve given us when we received our caps. This year proved uneventful to most of us, some left us to serve one instead of many.
After sailing peacefully along for another nine months
with classes and for a few, Senior nurse work we saw in
the distance a landing marked Black Bands. We knew to
reach here safely we must fly straight with no looping the
loop or any tail spins. Sixteen of us successfully landed. After taking our flight again. we were forced to land soon in a strange and foreign land-Disobedience. Two of our
mechanics lost their head apparatus and we were stranded for thirty days until repairs could be made. After every thing was in readiness we again set flight for the last lap of our journey namely "R. N." landing. We realize this
is the hardest lap for straight and narrow is the way. It
is the last lap but not the least. There are sixteen of
us in number who are holding on to the ship lest we fall. Although it has taken us three years to take our flight, we know Happiness comes from True Service, we are flying till we have reached our destination.

CLASS POEM
When your trammg is completed, and your career begun, This battle is finished and you have won.
But still your duty shall be the same, To cheer and help the sick and the lame. Be always willing a hand to lend
For happiness comes from true service, my friend. Though you may travel in many far away lands. Your duty will always bring forth the same demands. These may be pleasant or may be trying,
But keep your banner of service flying. Yes, wave it high to the very end
For happiness comes from true service, my friend.
CLASS PROPHECY
f ? = H E fates decreed that the future of the Class of 1926
\,_..\_) should be revealed unto them before their training
school days were over. We were told chat if our lives did
not run true to the prophecy the change would be due to
the efforts of each individual and the fates refused co be
held responsible for the results thereof. So the veil of the
future and the Spirit of the Prophecy descended from the spheres and enveloped our souls with their mystic power.
Dim shadows were seen flitting here and there across our view. As our vision cleared we recognized our classmates,
each busily engaged with their own problems of life.
First we can see our beloved senior of our class M.
Barton with a girl friend both clad in knickers and
com-plete hiking out-fit. They left Colorado July I, 1927.
Not losing any time on their way, reached California
Dec-cember l. 1928. Now she is an operating-room supervisor of a very popular hospital there.
We look again and see E. Hopper supervisor of a
large Obstetrical ward in New York where she listens ro the cries of some one hundred babies every day-she seems
to be so happy in her work.
Now we can see D. Wilkins who has graduated from
a medical school in the east and has a good business in a
little city in Mexico.
Next we recognize the form to be B. Reiter; she is
making a very successful office nurse for a prominent
young doctor in New York.
Now the mystic power shows E. Haber in a well
equipped Diet Laboratory, as Dietitian in a New Jersey
hospital. She has r,ot forgotten how to make pumpkin
pies and would be happy to make some for the class again. And as we look again we see R. Campbell (Smith) in
a little log bungalow sitting in front of an open fire place.
She is telling Mother Goose Rhymes to three of her little girls.
The next we see is a fair lady disappointed in som?
love affair and has become a Deaconess Nurse and devotes
her time to going about doing good to all the world. We
see her face and it proves, to be H. Seibert.
A strong breez€ and a whiff of far, far prairies a girl
of the plains. We see a little log cabin; one lone farm with
a faithful dog. Who is this girl on the Western Plain~
Oh; it is our dear little "Pinkie" D. Henderson who left
the nursing profession and is very happily located on a
claim in Montana.
Behold a change came over the Spirit. We see the
native of South America showing their love and
c1atton for their nurse, in the tropical country. Allmendinger (C. T.).
'
26
who is doing a wonderful work The Spirit tells us she is Vivian A large city, vast waters, a large ship and now we see people aboarding the Vessel-we recognize one winding her way through the crowd as L. Pollock. She is going to
Honolulu where she will continue her nursing profession.
And we felt within our hearts the desire to see our
little class mate R. Vickers till the Spirit of Prophecy
re-sponded to unspoken words. It conducted us to the Pub-lic Health Bureau where we find her to be making a won-derful success in the work.
We shifted our gaze, the Spirit led us to a small
vil-lage m the Sahara Desert where we beheld a missionary
holding services among a group of natives. "Go ye into all the world and teach," we recognized the voice and it is none other than M. Ross.
The Spirit turned and led us back to a very prosper-ing city, made so by the Piggly Wiggly stores. Behold G. Doyle comes into view. The Spirit whispered she spends her mornings working in a bungalow built for two and in the afternoons drives her Essex to the parks for an outing. We hear cries surely it is some lonely widow mourn-ing her husband. No not so, we see nothing like that!
'Tis only a fair bride weeping the loss of her pet poodle.
Who is the bride? Her name was once A. Mussey. \Ve see no sign of land on either hand but there's a navy nurse on duty. We know her to be our same little H. Hair. She likes her work and seems to be a favorite with all, knowing her as we do we can see why she is.
The place seems t_o be in Missouri; we see a very
dig-nified nurse superintending a small Hospital with success.
She seems to be making preparations to resign. Other plans
in view~ This is ncne other than W. Rhodes.
Just before a change came over the Spirit of our dreams shutting out our future we could see V.
Allmen-dinger and F. Hurt who deserted our cla~s in 1925 and
went into matrimonial life, both happy, we see them
plan-ning a big banquet to entertain their class mates soon. And verily a, we beheld this scene and marvelled there at, thinking "Aye, Even so shall it straight way come

died away, the veil was drawn over our eyes, shutting out
from our visions tlx things to be and we turned our eyes
back to the things that are sure that as "coming events cast
their shadows before." .Only goodness and truth and

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
We're just sixteen in number, And rnme here from the sticks;
But we're here for work and study, For we' re the class of '26. We are the smartest little class,
High up in knowledge we stand;
Our lectures always up to date. Gee! Ain't nature grand?
Miss Barton-she is clever and smart,
In this Profession she has a good start.
She is a little different from all the rest,
For when you need help, she is the very best.
Miss Hopper is happy and sweet;
For getting new friends she can't be beat. She looks very studious without a doubt,
But you can never tell what she's thinking about.
Miss Wilkins-better known as "Mike,"
Is a girl you' re sure to like.
She has no bad habits, but now and then Has co hurry to get in by ten.
Miss Rieter-wirh eyes like the sky. Was never known to pout or cry.
But you often hear her say, ''I'll give you a slap
If you don't go away and let me finish my nap."
Miss Haber-always lively and ready for fun;
We go to bed at ten, but she studies till one. Still we wonder and the mystery grows
How one head holds all she knows.
Miss Seibert-Very good natured and a little stout, Always finds something to laugh about.
She is a good nurse and wants to get thin. But eats too much candy received from men. Miss Henderson- f rom the Western Slope
When it comes to a trick she's got the dope. With her auburn hair and deep blue eyes,
To see her flirting would be a surprise. Miss Campbell-always ready for fun and play,
Says she can work but it don't pay. She is the very youngest of us all,
But has a well developed bugle call. Miss Vickers-always known as Shorty, Won't be any taller when she is forty. She is always looking for things worth while,
And won that man with her winning smile. Miss Allmendinger-has trained her vocabulary well,
Yes, she has oodles of French for sell. During the day she rushes to and fro,
But at evening she goes to the show. Miss Pollock-a clever little dame,
Composed jingles and won her fame. She likes to go re town and shop,
And for style-she is at the top. Miss Doyle-with the most freckles of all,
Is not very srou t or not very tall. 'Tis said she'll make a good house-keeper,
But on this subject we'll go no dzeper. Miss Ross-telling fortune from coffee ground,
Discovered which way we all were bound. She undoubtedly learned the truth
But in that cup she had no proof. Miss Hair-with big dark eyes,
Is one we consider wise.
When she feels blue you can never tell· That is the reason we like her so well. Miss Rhodes-has left tbe east side wing,
But still her lullaby we hear her sing. She can cook and she can
sew-The rest no one needs to know. Miss Mussey more liked than we can tell,
An unkind word would not be well, Though she is the last in the class to part,
We will be with her, heart to heart.

Troubles of A Nu
rse
I am a nurse in training-know anything about the life?
Say) let me tell you a thing or two, for it's sure full of woe and strife. On duty at seven A. M. (Unless you happen to be on at night).
Excuse me just a moment, I musr go and answer that light.
Last night I was called at midnight on a hurry-up 0. B. case,
We just got her into the D. R.-almost lost the race.
Gee! twins, sure must be awful-both yelling with all their might.
I swear I'll never marry! there goes another light.
The nursery sounds like a frog-pond on a lovely midsummer eve.
When they put me in charge of that I don't know but what I'll leave.
Mercy-! its almost noon, and the work undone is a fright,
I must dump all this soiled linen, before I answer that light.
There· s a patient coming back from the 0. R. to be watched till be wakes.
I certainly hope he'll be quiet! sometimes they yell until the very house
shakes.
I'm sure in their conscious moments the voice could never reach such
heights.
Oh, I still have to give a Murphy, and there's half a dozen lights. Mary has her hour's and I have to peddle the pills,
That the patients think are curing all of their aches and ills. Let's see an ounce of bromide-no surely that isn't right.
My mind is quite distracted-and there's another light.
The phone was ringing like mad, there's an emergency on the way.
And not a room is ready-there'll be the dickens to pay. I've got to make that bed, and not a sheet in sight.
I hid one in this drawer-I, doggone that light.
Well, I'll tell you the rest of it later, I have my P. M. today.
I suppose I should just rest, but I've got to get farther away,
So I am off for a hike in the mountains, where I can see some brand
new sights,
Where I can't bear anything buzzing, far away from those awful red lights.

It may be a mansion-It may be a dump. It may be a farm
With an old oaken pump:
It may be a
palace-It
may be a flat,It may be a room
Where you hang up your hat:
It may be a house
With a hole in the floor-Or marble hotel
With a coon at the door:
It may be exclusive,
Or simple, or swell, A wee bit of heaven
Or one little-well Just kindly remember
Wbereever you roam,
That John Howard Payne was right-There's
No Place
Like Home.
Dr. Goodson: '"My poor man,
the diagnosis is tuberculosis!" Bill:

much of here of late?"
Patient: (heaving a sigh of re-lief) : "That's good, I was so afraid
I had halitosis."
Newcomer (to "Little Broth-er") : "These March mornings are still chilly. Do you mean to tell me you slept out all winter here at the San.? Wasn·t it cold?"

Beth-El is a grand old place to live-or die! For if you're bound to die you will die happy and if you want to live you are given plenty of opportunity. Good doctors, good faculty, good nurses, good food-and all good things, so we are sure we should be as happy as kings!
It has been the privilige of the Children's Hospital Nurses of Den
-ver to receive their adult training at Beth-El for several years, so that now there is an existing feeling of cooperation and good fellowship between the two schools of Nursing that we hope will continue through all the years.
Adequate time for study and recreation is provided, so that a more well-balanced. healthier group of nurses is hard to find.
The curriculum offered includes class room demonstration, in con
-nection with the lectures given by cbe members of the\ Medical and
'
26
cal Staff of this hospital. These lectures have been presented in such a comprehensive manner that we feel they will prove invaluable to us at a future date, when State Board looms up before us.
Recently the Tubercular training and adult Surgery has been added to our course here, making the time spent doubly interesting.
Socially, the hikes and parties have all been enjoyable affairs and will be treasured as pleasant memories when we look back on training school days. When w~ speak of good times, we must include athletic activities which have done much to encourage a real school spirit among the pinks and the blues, who one and all get out and root for Old Beth
-EL Long may she prosper!
In closing we the Affiliates of 1926 and 1927 wish to thank the doctors, supervisors and the training school for the pleasant and profitable winter spent at Beth-El and bid you farewell.-(Signed) THE PINKIES.

P. M. N. CLUB
The laboratory club saw its beginning this year with six girls, who
have had work in this special department, as members. Others are in -itiated as they complete this work. This organization was christened the
P. M. N. Club.
The work has been somewhat limited owing to the small
member-ship, heavy class work and the inevitable delay in organization. We hope soon to begin executing our aim with enthusiasm and interest.

Beth-El undertakes to make Athletes as well as nurses out of a few of the fans. The Basket Ball season opened with Interclass gamrs. The Freshmen were declared champions at the tournament which was held
in December. The school team was chosen from the best players among
the classes. Miss Campbell was chosen business manager, Miss Sypher. captain. Members of the team: Forwards, Campbell, Bell: Centers, Bar-ton, Barnes, Sypher, Crissman, Daniels; Guards, Scott, Mills, Wards.
Out of twenty games played they were victors in fifteen.
As a token of honor, the members of the immediate team received

Those receiving sweaters were: Miss Campbell. Sypher, Bell, Crissman,
Daniels, Barton, Mills, Scott and D. Ward.
This is the only nurses team in the state and they have had wonder
-ful success considering this is the first year. Next year we hope will
prove victors in every gam~.
