NURSES HELD IN BONDAGE
Forced to BE Slaves to Secure Neces-
sa-y Training IA Hos
pitals. 35

There is one criticism Of the nurs.
ing problem which is almost entirely
valid: The training is entirely toe
institutional, the education and life TOO
mechanical, says American Medicine.
The great majority Of nurses must &c
out into the common and ordinary life
of the people, the home life. and at.
tend to the sick under such conditions.
The hospital training, while necessary.
has become too exclusive. The cir
cumstances in the home and hospital
are different, root and branch. Il.
In private homes hundred prob
lens and conditions face the nurse
which are unknown in the institution.
This is especially true OF nursing in.
the homes OF the middle. lower and
lowest classes. It is criticism, In
deed, which in a lesser degree also ap-'
plies to the medical profession, with
its colleges, laboratories, hospftals and
dispensaries. But with the young med
ical man the abuses have not and can
not become so marked and SO general
as with the nurses.
One OF the reasons for the absurd
exaggeration of institutionalism and
hospitalism among the nurses Is .
shame for which the medical profes-
sion is chiefly responsible, the habit
Of crushing the life out OF the pupil
nurse by making her slave for the
hospital while getting her education,
and in supposed payment for 1t. It
is an evil responsible for many others,
and must be abrogated.
A certain portion OF their scholastic
period may well, and, Of course, must
be devoted to nursing, but. the injus.
ice which puts the girls into virtual
slavery for several years is one that
makes an upright man or woman shud.
Ter, and the "bossy'' superintendent or
chief nurse, doing no work but pseu-
io-aristocratic commanding, provokes
sometimes an unfortunate frame Of |
mind in her graduates.

too. There is no reason why boys aLd
men should not wash dishes, sweep
floors and make beds when there Is g
pressure OF work upon the women OF
the house. Soldiers and sailors are
adopts in the art of taking care OF

fection. Why should they not do It
when at home? ss :
I advise one who means thus to
simplify family life during q few sum-
mer weeks to indulge in some pleas
ure for which usually she has not
time. A camera may be a source of
interest, but on the whole nothing can
give quite SO good return as bam-
mock on the veranda and some sell
chosen summer books. Few busy
men, and women have leisure amid the
croWding pursuits Of the year to read
many novels. The novel in its pres
ent literary form brings to our door
the glory of all lands. 1t introduces
the humhlest cottager to the interior
of sumptuous palaces, it tells stories
of war, romance, love, and heroism; i:
discusses sociological problems, and

/ question whether anyone can claim
to be educated who is not more or
less familiar with the novels of the
day. Drop good many other tasks,
and devote yourself for week or

realm of fiction, to which the novelist
gives you passport.
