The Director of the New Zealand Division of Nursing, Miss Mary I. Lambie, Wellington, spent three months in the United States studying nursing conditions in that country, as well as in Canada, as a guest of the Rockefeller Foundation (wrote a London correspondent on July 10). During the next three weeks she will attend first the meeting of the Florence Nightingale Memorial Foundation, and then the meeting of the Grand Council of the International Council of Nurses, to which she is a New Zealand delegate. This will be followed by the general meeting of the International Council, at which several New Zealanders, including Miss Lambie, have been asked to speak. At the conclusion of the conference Miss Lambie will visit various centres in England and Scotland to observe training schools for nurses and public health nursing developments. These inspections will be continued in Northern Europe before she leaves for New Zealand in the middle of September.

There was a happy gathering in Wellington, yesterday, when veterans of the South African War met to indulge in reminiscences, at the invitation of Captain J. J- Clark, president of the Wellington branch of the South African War Veterans’ Association, and Mrs Clark. The delegates present from other centres, who are attending the association’s conference at Wellington, included Mr A. Trenkner and Mr S. W. Lankshear. of Palmerston North. During the afternoon, Mr Wj. J. Green (Rotorua), who described himself as the “baby” of the veterans, thanked the host and hostess for their hospitality and called upon Mrs Frank Hay. a daughter of the late Mr Richard John Seddon, to speak. Mrs Hay told her audience that she really felt herself to be one of the “veterans,” for it was her privilege to have been her father’s private secretary during the South African W’ar.
