FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE PREACHED
THE GOSPEL OF FRESH AIR
Sidelights on the Personality of the Great Queen of Norses, the Angel of the Trenches, Who Enshrined Herself
in the Hearts of lien.
BY LOUISA A' H MUTT NASH.
ON Florence Nlg-httngale's Slat birth
day a squad of men from a High
land regiment, many of wlioto she
had nursed back to health at Scutari,
ware Invited by their commanding of
floer to vlalt a aculptors studio. While
wonderlnr what they should have been
brourht there for. the sculptor sudden
ly uncovered a bust. Tha men broke
rank with ona Impulse, shouttnff. "Miss
Kightlna-ale' Miss Nightingale!"
With hats off. they surrounded tha
model, cheering - the figure of their
"Angel of the Trenches" until the roof
rang.
When the Crimean war was over,
which had called Into play her tender
aympathiea and her practical abilities,
there waa a meeting of officers, naval
and military. It was proposed that earn
should write on a slip of paper the
name that would ba most likely to go
down to posterity.
On every slip was written "Florence
Nightingale!" The verdict of her old
friends and patients has coma true.
History tells tha sad tale of Ignor
ance and carelessness In providing for
tha sick and wounded In tbe Crimean
.Ka with nAfMltlnna that to
retain health was impossible. In ahort.
sickness carriea on more uvea xuaoj
those aacriflced In battle. The water
supply was polluted and cholera rltu.
Improvements were visible Immedi
ately after the arrival of Miss Nightin
gale and her 3S nurses. The old red
. - l . w.a MtrAivnmtk " f -H H v "
a Scutari letter says, "brings a new
combination of misery to- ba unraveled
la the Bisters' . town. . She has been j
known to stand 20 hours on the arrival
of the sick, giving directions for them
or aaalatlng at painful operationa."
Quickly the sanitary changes wera
brought about, and the mortality grad
ually diminished until the average
death rate was reached. This ultimate
ly became lees than among vigorous
troops at home.
On coming out. she had run the
gauntlet of the most strait-laced physi
cians in the world who fought the Idea
of woman leadership. But Miss Night
ingale's sweet and gentle manner per
suaded them, while later her indomita
ble will power compelled them.
She never saved herself. There were
six miles of ward walking at night.
Little wonder that there was not time
for a word for each cot. "No matter,"
the sick men would say. "the shadow
of ber passing by. with her little lamp.
Is comfort enough!" And the young
soldier would kiss that shadow on tha
pillow as she passed. "Before she
came here." one of them wrote, "there
was such cussln' and swearln', and af
ter that It was as holy as a church!"
Such was the way they looked upon
their "Angel of the Trenchea"
e a
But how could a young woman, with
an education of Greek and "Latin from
a father versed in the classics, ba suf
ficient for such emergencies? Charac
ter building began with Florence
Nightingale, at a very early age. Her
first patient was a shepherd's dog.
Some boys had hit his leg with stones
till it was badly bruised and swollen.
"It's kill him that I must I" lamented
his master, whom he would not allow
to touch his leg. The child caressed
him, with, "Poor Cspl poor Csp!" and I
be trusted her. "It's .fomented it has
to be!" said the shepherd. "Foment;
what's that?" asked the little girl. Hav
ing it explained, she set to work with
her wet, hot cloths till the dog's ieg
was so much better that he was out of
danger of being killed.
I have often wondered, was it the
nearness of her home to the first all
round sanitarium planted in England,
where the external skin "was consid
ered a kind of replica to the Internal
one. and its seen millions of pores first
used as safety valves for internal irri
tation, that her mind received its first
bent? Here, too. she saw patients from
the poor who were grateful for. the
help of charity.
Her heart was early warmed to min
istries, as It was early distressed at the
troubles of the poor. And she begged
her father to let her have some hospital
training. He furthered her plans and
her studies took her to the nursing
sisterhood of Kaiserswerth-on-the-Rhlne.
and thn to Stt Vincent de Paul
In Paris.
She was arranging for a little nurs
ing home in London, when through the
red vista of war she heard and an
swered the old, old call, "Come over
and help us!"
-
In conservative England of the last
century It required no little courage to
run counter to the old-time customs of
aristocracy. To be a professional nurse
was an unheard-of thing for a young
woman of ber stamp. It waa a revolu
tionary step, which became the corner
stone of a beautiful progress.
"What sect does she belong to?" was
asked of an Irish clergyman.
To a sect which, unfortunately, is a ,
very rare one, the sect of the Good
Samaritan!" was his reply.
Miss Nightingale was certainly an
early teacher of the Fresh Air gospel.
She nursed many a poor soldier back
to life when apparently dying of small
pox in the little open green shanties of
the Crimea. Fresh sir she never ceased
preaching through her long life.
. When neace relsmed once mora be
tween the belligerent powers, that such
an ardent worker should break down
was no wonder. After soma months of
rest she took up the threads of her
beautiful life-work again. A grateful
country had presented her with a gift
of $230,000. But for herself, she could
not accept it, but devoted . It to the
founding of a training homo for nurses
at St. Thomas and King's Cross hospi
tals. A governess'., home-" likewise
claimed her help, "the blushing poor,"
as called in a Spanish proverb.
Miss Nightingale was regarded uni
versally as tho- authority on military
nursing. Her advice was sought by our
American doctors of the Civil War and
the French and German physicians of
1870. Truly prophetic were these
words regarding her mission: "That she
would multiply good to all time!"
Today the Red Cross Society Is work
ing In the steps that she first tracked.
Many valuable books have, been penned
by her, her "Notes on Nursing" above all.
I have never ceased to regret that I
Just missed seeing Florence Nighjttngale
when visiting some cousins of hers near
our village home in Kent She had come
down for a day or so, and tired out with
her Journey, she was resting in her room.
It was where the woods of Keston looked
down upon the bouse the oaks, under
which Pitt and Wilberforce sat and
talked when a compact was made be
tween them for the emancipation of the
West Indian slaves.
Late in life her home was with her
sister In Buckinghamshire. Here she de
voted herself to the rural population.
wbo need so much instruction in matters
that pertain to common personal health.
In fact, now she had come to a conclu
sion that tha art of keeping health aa a
sacred treasure is, after all, a .mora val
uable one than sick-nursing.
- "This new science," she says, "has
been created to meet an old want- This
is the art of health, which every mother,
girl, teacher every woman ought prac
tically to learn. She is supposed to know
it by Instinct like a bird. So everything
comes before health-knowledge. This
art has only lately been discovered
health-nursing we might call It."
a '
In the latest . portrait of Miss Night
ingale, one sees the same earnest face,
grown much fuller with the years that
have Imprinted their character, or.
rather, ner character, lines upon the
firmly set mouth. Some kind of draper',
like a Russian "bashelik" is on her head,
loosely knotted under her chin, and a
flowing "bernous" over her shoulders.
Although too weak for any exertion, sbe
retained her powers of mind and her
warm heart sympathies all along. Dur
ing the time when she received her
friends on her bed, she asked a nursing
deaconess visiting her, "Have you beeu
always happy these 30 years?'
"Always" seemed such a long word
that she could not say yes or no; so
she replied, "If I had to live my life
over again, and it were ten times as
long,' I would always wish to serve the
Lord as a deaconess." Then she said,
"Thank God; O, thank God. It is a
blessed life when we can live it for
others!"
In medieval history there was Joan of
Arc, who saw her visions, suffered her
self to be led by them, and became tha
savior of her country- For over half a
century Florence Nightingale has been
enshrined In the hearts of men and wo
men, and possibly by the new order that
she brought In. Ehe has been one of
the greatest saviors the human race ever
had. Opportunity placed her on the pin
nacle of a people's love and a world's
admiration: she had fitted herself for
this opportunity.
What she has said of herself is, "All
I have done is to work hard!"
