It was accordingly'recommended that (ho proposed memorial should be in tho nature of an endowed' foundation to be established, in London for the furtherance of post-graduate nursing education.
Later Mrs. Bedford Feriwick mado the practical suggestion that the International Nursing .Courses, already established in London by the League of Red Cross Societies, should form the nucleus of the proposed foundation.

Abel and members of the Dominion Committee. A very attractive booklet has been issued with a charming reproduction' of the fi'no statue of Florence Nightingale /which is in one of the thief squares in London,
