To you, refined and educated daughter of the East, I send this message of mine, that you may join me in the field of struggle and honest work. I send it from a large and ardent heart; within its folds I breathe wishes brimming with happiness and felicity for

every girl who joins one of the ranks of this honorable profession. You will then represent progress and advancement — nay, you will represent the virtuous wife and the happy mother. You will perform your task most ably, coming to the aid of your neighbor and your

friend in the troubles of her own illnesses and her family's; and you will spread through your whole society the spirit of energy — nay, the spirit of honest work — that families may enjoy their health.

And your victory is the true and lasting victory!
