1898 St. Louis Training School for Nurses Benefit Program W/Annheuser-Busch Ad

Description: For sale is a program from the St. Louis Training School for Nurses benefit. It was held in April 1898 at the Fourteenth Street Theatre. This eight-page program includes words to songs performed at that day's recital, plus a list of the names of the school's officers, advisory board and committee members. On the back, there's an ad for Annheuser-Busch's Malt-Nutrine. Some background: The St. Louis Training School for Nurses was established in December 1883, just 10 years after the first school of nursing in the United States was established. The school opened in the spring of 1884 and was based at the St. Louis City Hospital. Students in the two-year course of study received a small monthly allowance from the city in return for working 12-hour days on the wards and attending lectures. The school, in association with the St. Louis Provident Association, began the first visiting nurse program in St. Louis in the fall of 1895. This 120-year-old program measures 4 3/4 by 10 inches and is in very good condition, with minor creasing. The original owner made some light pencil notations on one page of this historically-imporatnt publication. See my listings for other vintage items.
