Auckland Trained Nurses' Association

Since the last issue of Kai Taiki this Association has commenced a course of very interesting lectures, which Vill continue until October. Already there have been given by Drs. Bedford, MacKellar and Roberton, at the General Hospital, in the Board Room, kindly lent for the purpose until the Association is able to procure a suitable club-room. A very fair number of nurses have been able to attend these lectures. We were

pleased to have Miss Maclean present at the second lecture, during her short visit to Auckland. A social committee has been formed in connection with the Association. Mr. Alfred Kidd being president, and Mrs. HughesJones hon. secretary. An afternoon tea was given by Mrs. Kidd at her residence, " Houston," Epsom, to welcome Miss Maclean, who addressed the nurses upon the subject of amalgamation. The

Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Kowlds were also present. The former spoke of the valuable work accomplished by trained nurses, and expressed himself as pleased to be present at such a happy gathering. Miss Cottman, a member of the Association, has left Auckland on a visit to England, and while there she has promised to visit the chief nursing centres, and obtain any information which might help on our work here. Miss Cottman does not intend returning before October or November. COURSE OF LECTURES. Dr. Bedford, " Some causes of Diseases," March 9th ; Dr. E. D. MacKellar, " Vaccina-
