Dear Miss McLean, — Enclosed you will find my Subscription for "Kai Tiaki," which I always enjoy reading. I would be pleased if you would let me know through the journal what the five points on the nurse's medal indicate, as I understand they have a special meaning. Yours sincerely, S. PERKINS.
[In reply to the above, the Editor has ascertained from Mrs. (Irace Neill, in whose term of office nurses' registration was obtained, and the budge designed, that the five points were merely adopted from the New Zealand flag, on which are the five stars. There is no other special meaning.]
