~ F special interest to the members
 of the Graduate Nurses assoeia-
 ton of Birmingham is the step recently taken by the Georgia Associa- tion of Graduate Nurses in joining the State Federation of Womens clubs.
 Birmingham has a strong organization of registered nurses who are working along the same lines as that of the Georgia association, which has resulted in the passage of q bill making it necessary for all registered purses to pass a state examination.
 The Birmingham association has not yet been able to have a similar bill intro- duced In the Alabama legislature, but one of the main objects for organization is to raise the legal status in this state for the nursing profession. The Georgia association had a hard fight to get it's bill passed, and the same difficulties will no doubt confront. the Alabama as- sociation when it attempts to legally draw about the registered nurse her rightful protection.
 Georgia is the twenty state which has passed a bill providing for q state board of examiners, which places the registered nurse on different legal base Mrs. Agnes c. Hartridse, president of the Georgia association, in entering the federation touched on some interesting questions affecting the status of the trained nurse. She points out that the bill requiring state registration not only protects the well-trained nurse from the "drlftWoodp of the profession, but also protects the public, which is now realiz- ing that 1t can be imposed upon by large class of so-called nurses who re- ceiye the same compensation as the nurse of long training and experience, a condi- ton unjust to the competent nurse and to the public.
 The organization in April, 1907, of the graduate nurses in this state for the purpose of securing state registration. elevatng and maintaining the standard of nursing, protecting the public and promoting good fellowship among all nurses. has made Georgia the twenty ninth state to raise the standard for legal status for the nursing profession, and to strike for the broader education of nurses" said Mrs. Hartridge
