Price Former School Teacher finl la af wHttm by tlw Priee. MrrtM will perladlfirtly dar- Imt By MONROE doctors, nurses other citizens gathered last week to lavish their lovf and respect on Dr. Nina Price. Yet there ont pei-son in the 100 in the ballroom of the Penn-Stroud Hotel who felt that he could give a hundredth the devotion Dr. Nina has spent on her patients as individuals during each day of her 50 years in medicine.

What has there been in Nina life to make her the humanitarian she is? There is, of course, no single answer to that question. Like all other human beings she is a product of the world in which she has lived to some degree. Like some other human beings she has learned to live almost completely beyond herself, reaching out in ail directions when and where she is needed. rnlike moM she ham never eenaed being 1 very feminine woman, a loving, dedicated mother and (S) hmrted creature with a notable ability to see the iMinor- oits side of ncarty all tkms. Nina Mae Case bwn Nov.

30, 1882 in Ithaca. Mich. Her father who bore the learned first and middle names of Marcus Aurelius and the la.st name an engineer. Nina was the of nine children In the Case family. Her mother, Harriet Helms Case, wa.s a former an occupation which, in those years, carried with it the requirements of strong scholarly background in a wide variety of fields and an ability to turn your hand to rigid discipline.

Perhaps because of this, Nina and the rest of the Case children came through their early years with their mother as a dominant force. It was less strong in Ithaca, but when Nina was she moved with her family to the high mounUin regions near Williamsport. In 1888 the hUlt behind Wil- liam.sport were unusually isolated. The Case family became a self-contained, highly independent unit whose borders included the world through book.s and teaching but seldom extended be- yon the home itself. This isolation cut the Cases off from formal education they lived too far from town to attend a public school.

The teaching, therefore, was handled entirely by Harriet, their mother. Even though it was education, the Case family never exuded the flavor of private tuotoiing. Nine children, after all, could match most of the in a country school of the day and the teaching was anything but monotonous. Harriet Helms Case had "strong on education, one of her granddaughters who had occasion to come under her later recalls. She drummed the material of books into her heads with firmness and a hard-working approach which a lasting effect.

After six years of education from her mother, Nina was taken Ntaft Caae. IS Into Williamspm for enrollment in the school there. The family she had been quick to learn and that she had a mind with amazing retentive powers. But this hardly prepared them for the shock they got from school officials. NhM finlihed the teste given her at the school, answered eral qvestlofis, talked with the educators.

lYhen it was all over, the school principal said that Nina eonld enter the school right away. She was, right now, he said, a student with the formal standing! of a senior in high school. At 12. Nina was starting her last! year of ever ing set foot in a schoolroom. Nina Mae Case graduated from public school at the age of 13.

From high school she went on to attend Battle Creek College in Michigan. She spent tw'o years there. College officials informed her at the end of her second year that she was "too young to graduate from Nina promptly quit the college campus andj accepted a job as a teacher fori one year in Bell Harbor, Michi-' gan. She moved to California the next year to teach in Eureka schools. By that time she was "old to graduate from lege.

She accomplished this featj of formal education at St, Heils-, burg College in California. It was during the earliest years of her life that Nina had made up her mind she wanted to be doctor. The school-teaching was a means to an end. An incident shortly after the Case family moved to Pennsylvania helped set the mind on medicine as her goal in life. i The community Into which Iheyl moved had previously felt the.

stamp of life and personality. Grandmother Helms had been a too. Nina heard little about her work in; the community until one day inj the early Summer she was taken for a ride in a horse and buggy rig by an older man who had know'n the Helms family for a long time. As she recalls the inckient now, her chauffeur was a friendly, reminiscent-minded man who served as a semi-historian for the countryside. When the buggy passed a mountain graveyard, the older man pointed to it and asked Nina: see that tiny graveyard there? Well, knowr why so Nina iaid she "Well, little girl, because of your grandmother.

We had a lot of sickness here during past years and we have any doctors. It was your Grandmother Helms that kept us alive and her we have to thank that 90 out of a hundred of us there right That brief, sharp fragment out of an obviously lasting impression on mind and her dreams. It it can be said that one moment In a human life decides a whole lifetime, it would seem apparent that destiny wa.s set down by the sight of a populated cemetery in a eyes. The dream did not diminish. It stayed with her in her ow'n honie and it traveled with her into the classrooms and the colleges.

It began to take its final steps toward reality when she came back East from California. Nina entered medical traln- ia at Narthweslem fTnhrersity In Illinois. It was a day ef prondse and faUHlnMgl for the young glri. But the early wife narrow in their about women. Northwestern wu no exception.

The girl whose grandmother had helped save most of a whole community from death was de termined to turn her life and en ergies the same way. Nothing and that Included masculine going to kill that dream. Disarmament Talks Today WASHINGTON.
