teresting discussions. The Interstate sec
rotary. Miss McIsaacs, told of her travels
the past year in the interest of the nurs-
ing profession. OF course / was espee-
tally interested in what she said of the
South. She seems to think that although
the conditions are not up to the standard
of the older states, we are meeting our
nursing problems honestly and fairly. She
told of going TO the extreme north, in
the copper region, where the nursing
work among miners develops a distinct
and characteristic type of nurse vigilant,
reliant. How for weeks she travelled in
zero weather, how wards could not be
scrubbed because the water froze on the
floor before il could be mopped up.
To me. two subjects are of vital I'M
port How training schools can best CO.
operate with educational institutions, and
what training schools can do to meet the
new demands upon nursing.
IF some plan can be perfected by which
the high school can really give to young
women a working basis by which to meet
the Probationary requirement then the
present lack of proper material for
nfrses will be greatly lessened.. If train
ing schools can affiliate with the visiting
school and social welfare workers, by
giving some months in the. senior year
to actual work along those lines, then
the young nurse can bring all her enthu-
siasm and some practical experience ito
this new and important class OF work.
But I know you are tired of these
serious subjects. Some time I want to
tell you about the queer little children in
Hull House, but not tonight
