VALUABLE ASSOCIATION

ST JOHN AMBULANCE PIONEER BODY ON AMBULANCE WORK, SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS, The yew just .closing has been a busy one for this institution. The class average has been.well maintained, and the results achieved redound to the credit of the various instructors, the parses for the year numbering to date 892 as listed below. It is interesting to notes that.the 6t. John Ambulance Association, which is: the pioneer body in_ ambulance work, . was organised by Rector Gerard in the Holy Land in 1099, and was formally recognised by the Pope in 1113. If .we compare the Jerusalem of Nero’s Day with the Jerusalem of the Kuighte of St. John, it becomes obvious that Christian chivalry had been an enromous forge in the moral progress of the human race, and so it has continued on through the ages until the London “Times,” under date September 12th, 1914.. published the following; “It has hot been generally recognised that this ancient order, which dates , back 800 years, is the senior Red Gross organisation in this country, and, in fact, the |3t. John Ambulance Association was ■ nearly forty years ago the. pioneer of all ‘ambulance’ work. The carrying on pftthis true labour of love has been almost entirely voluntary, and implies a vast amount of self-denial on the part of those parrying on its work,” The ancient motto of the Hospitaller Order. “Pro Fide Pro Utilitate Hominum” (“For the Faith and for the Service of Mankind") stiff inspires the t3t. John workers, and the excellent results shown from the year augur well for the future. The educational work is carried pn by the association, and when the prescribed course is completed students fire drafted into the brigade, which branch, by further insfiructional classes and parades,, maintains the efficiency of. its members in ambulance and nursing work- The District Nursing Guild of St, John maintains two skilled' nurses whose work is to treat ihe sick poor, their, geryicea are available at. all times free ef ebargef. Since the first district 1 nurse was appointed in 1902, no less thar 4353 cases had been attended up to the end of last year.
