ducts one OF the high class employment
bureaus on the upper West Side. Our

nurses who will fill the need arising from
the faot that the regular trained nurse In

treblss the usual work below stairs. Some
times In such cases the nurse Is asked TO
perform some slight service. and she replies
that she cannot do menial labor.
Il am not questioning the right OF the
nurse to uphold whatever ethical ideas she
may have on the subject, but hope that
some ono will establish a school where
intelligent young women may be trained
to do nursing in ordinary cases and also to
help out In the lighter work Of the homo.
