Show lOl As a step in this direction, the L. u. 0. Hospitai and the Lake General HOSpital desire to enter into an agreement with us their nurses half-time work for next year. The charge is to be a1 proximately the same in proportion to the amount of work done, as amount paid by the freshmen students.
